Reviews

An acutely intellligent, even-handed analysis of the characters, history and all-round horrible wonders of boxing's brutality and beauty. Solid, straight-talking and as rock'n'roll as sportswriting gets. <br> -- Scotsman<br> <br> This powerfully taut account of the Benn vs. McClellan brawl captures boxing's farce and nobility perfectly. <br> -- Observer
