If you haven't seen The Fighter yet, put it at the top of your must-see-before-my-Oscars-pool-ballot-is-due list. Christian Bale's portrayal of Dicky Eklund is phenomenal--maybe the best performance of his career.
As is the case with most films, especially when actual sporting events are involved, and even more so in the boxing world, The Fighter is filled with slight inaccuracies and dodges and burns meant to make a really cool true story into a believable, money-making narrative tale.
Posted on Devour today, "Micky vs. Marky" is a video by Kevin B. Lee that compares the fictional fight between Micky Ward and Shea Neary against the actual footage of the real fight.
Considering this video is basically all copyright-protected content, I would suggest watching it as soon as possible, as it won't remain up on the internet for long.
