In the second round of a defense of his IBF super featherweight
world championship, Tony "The Tiger" Lopez felt the elbow of
challenger John Molina slam into his eye. The impact of the
accidental shot shattered his orbital bone and jammed Lopez's
eyeball back into its socket. Swelling immediately sealed the eye,
a problem made worse when, in the next round, Molina opened a cut
over Lopez's other eye. The notoriously gritty champ fought seven
more rounds that night in Sacramento before losing his title by TKO
-- a story typical of those you'll read in "A Puncher's Chance:
Amazing Tales from The Ringside Boxing Show." This is the first of
a series of books chronicling the strange-but-true lives of some of
the greatest boxers and boxing personalities of all time -- yarns
spun in their own words during live interviews on The Ringside
Boxing Show, a weekly radio program that originates from Monterey,
California and streams worldwide. Prepare to be astonished by more
than a dozen of the most remarkable and improbable stories ever
told about the brutal and astonishing sport known as "The Sweet
Science."
