Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)after reading the first chapter of this book and uncovering mob ties dating back throughout the 20th century, i was anxious to read further about each individual bout that was marred with scandal. unfortunately, this book leaves you wanting more in terms of answers and further insight into certain fights. for instance, there is great coverage and details about the bouts themselves, but just as your getting into the stories the chapter will end unexpectedly and leave you with the same sour feeling you get upon watching a fight get stopped prematurely due to a disqualification, or a judge who makes you sick to your stomach as a result of his scoring. there was nothing about why andrew golota threw so many low blows. furthermore, there wasn't much on the phantom punch of sonny liston. right when you think the book is about to throw a knockout punch, the round ends.
