Summary: Give it a chance...................you'll thank me.
Comment: It took awhile for me to get into this book. If you can get past the white person growing up in racist South Africa yet I feel the pain of my fellow man opening paragraph this book will enthrall you.
Yes, you'll LOVE IT.
Every story about boxing is spelt out. The hangers on, the women, the entourage, the scum, the promoters, everyone. The story about Azuma Nelson will amaze you. It is one of those books I read 5 years ago, 2 times since and can still quote verbatim.
Give this book a chance. A great writer who realizes in the 2nd chapter that he is not the story. This isn;t a history or the sport but a snapshot in time. Well worth the money and the read
Rating: 5
Summary: One of sports finest!!
Comment: This is perhaps the best book on sports that I've read, and I've read many. Mcrae does an excellent job at making an inhumane sport suprisingly humane. An immensly joyable book.
Rating: 5
Summary: Boxing - as it is
Comment: I could not put down this book. Somehow, McRae has turned some of the most fearsome men in the world into pussycats. How he could make James Toney et al sympathetic characters is beyond me. I am a sports fan, but I believe this is a book that can be read and enjoyed by all.
