Mark Wahlberg plays, Micky Ward, the struggling journeyman boxer who spent his life living in his big brother\u2019s shadow.  <strong>The Fighter <\/strong>is inspired by the true story of two brothers, who against all odds, come together to train for a historic title bout that will unite their fractured family, redeem their pasts, and give their hard-luck town what it\u2019s been waiting for: Pride.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Both actors studied Manny Pacquiao<\/strong> and his world class trainer, Freddie Roach, in order to prepare for the role.  Manny is such a living legend and a phenomenon. I\u2019m so glad we\u2019re able to experience this. <\/p>\n<p><strong>The Fighter <\/strong>is coming to theaters Dec 10 (select cities) \/ Dec 17 (nationwide) and is already generating Oscar buzz. Could Christian finally win the Oscar he deserves? <\/p>\n<p><object width=\"480\" height=\"385\"><param name=\"movie\"
