The Fighter Ratings & Reviews
- tellumMarch 10, 2026Being a boxing fan and knowing Micky Wards career, the movie is a let down. Micky is legitimately one of the most exciting fighters ever and had fights that can never be replicated, but you’d never know that watching this film. It ends before even getting to any of his legendary fights and severely downplays how beloved he was by fans.
- George BananzaOctober 6, 2025The fighter fights in this film about the fighter.
