Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Any discussion of great boxers must include Willie Pep and Sandy Saddler, midcentury featherweight champions whose heroics in the 1940s and 1950s electrified the fistic world then and reverberate today. This book explores the boxing lives of both pugilists' early years, fighting years, training and conditioning, historical context, life after boxing, and of course, the lasting controversy over their rivalry and legacy. Their matchups had it all: contrasting styles, dazzling skills, hard punching, splendid action, ridiculous brawling, heroic victories and crashing defeats.--Publisher
