Playing the same team three times in the same season is very difficult. The teams are very familiar with each other and they know the opposition tendencies. This is a lot like the Mickey Ward vs Auturo Gatti trilogy of fights. Their 2002 fight was the fight of the year and fight of the decade. Lowell’s Mickey Ward eked out a majority decision over the heavily favored Gatti. The second fight was all Gatti as he won a decisive victory on all three scorecards. The third and final fight was in 2019 and it was another fight of the year as these two warriors just slugged it out for 10 rounds.
