Mark Wahlberg Will Make The Fighter Sequel Without David O. RussellThe Fighter was a solid movie, and Ward is a great character for Wahlberg to play.

The Fighter 2, of course, would focus on Micky Ward's trilogy of fights against Arturo Gatti, but what made the first film great wasn't the boxing bouts but the family drama between his mother/manger and brother/trainer....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-03-22 12:37:33comments
