It's 2011 and an elderly man living alone in Massachusetts finds a
box while organizing his vast boxing memorabilia collection. The
contents take his fading memory back fifty years to a gym he once
operated called A Puncher's Chance and its storied past, including
World Champion Salvador Jimenez. When a friend happens by, the old
man takes the opportunity to retell his story. Over the next
several days his surprisingly vivid recollection of the champ
enthralls his friend, as he switches from past to present and back
again. A tragedy occurs before the surprise ending that really
packs a punch. About the Author Edwin Ayala is an aspiring new
author who lives in southern Massachusetts with his wife and
family. After being stricken with an extremely rare neurological
condition, choreoacanthocytosis (or CA), after ten years he was
forced to retire in 2008 from UPS after nineteen years of service.
At age forty-three, he decided to pursue his dream of becoming an
author despite the limitations of CA. The condition is so rare that
little information on this disease is available, but here is a
brief synopsis: CA has no cure and its cause is not definitively
known. Difficult to diagnose, its symptoms include fatigue, loss of
speech, loss of weight due to involuntary biting of the cheeks and
tongue, difficulty in swallowing, and involuntary muscle movement.

Charlie Magri is one of the most popular boxers ever to have
stepped into the ring. The exuberance and energy of the former WBC
Flyweight Champion earned him a core of dedicated fans and,
throughout his career, his determination and his ability to
overcome adversity inspired all those who watched him. At last, one
of boxing's most deserving legends has decided to tell all about
his amazing life in this, his own true story. As a young boy
Magri's exceptional promise as a boxer became apparent when he
fought for Stepney's Arbour Youth Club. His impressive start as a
Junior ABA Champion earned Charlie a reputation and, when he became
a fully fledged senior fighter, he experienced what he describes as
the best two years of his life. In 1974, he was unbeaten
domestically, he won the ABA and then he took home the silver medal
in the European Under-21 Championships. These victories cemented
his determination to remain a winner. It was only a matter of time
before Magri turned professional and, with legendary manager Terry
Lawless as his mentor, he went on to become the British Flyweight
Champion. Having secured the European crown, Magri set his sights
on conquering the world. In March 1983, he entered the ring at
Wembley and defeated Eleoncio Mercedes inside seven rounds to
become the WBC World Flyweight Champion...and the legend of
'Champagne Charlie' was born. In this exciting and revealing
autobiography, Charlie Magri tells of his childhood, growing up on
a tough estate in the East End of London. He describes how his
height and his name made him stand out from the crowd at school and
how, from an early age, he learned to defend himself with his
fists. He tells of the early days of his career and how his passion
for boxing kept him off the street and out of the local gangs. He
speaks of his amazing triumphs and, conversley, his heart-breaking
defeats and how he has struggled to come to terms with life after
boxing. What shines through his whole story is Charlie's enthusiasm
for life, sense of humour nad genuine concern for others. This
heart-warming tale of a man's passion for his sport and desire to
win is a must read for any boxing fan and will make you laugh and

In 1912 boxing was as popular a spectator sport in the United
States as baseball, if not more so. It was also rife with
corruption and surrounded by gambling, drinking, and prostitution,
so much so that many cities and states passed laws to control it.
But not in New Mexico. It was the perfect venue for one of the
biggest, loudest, most rambunctious heavyweight championship bouts
ever seen. In Crazy Fourth Toby Smith tells the story of how the
African American boxer Jack Johnson-the bombastic and
larger-than-life reigning world heavyweight champion-met Jim Flynn
on the fourth of July in Las Vegas, New Mexico. The civic boosters,
bursting with pride in their town, raised a hundred thousand
dollars for the fight, pushing events like the sinking of the
Titanic to the back pages of every newspaper. In the end, once the
dust finally settled on the whole unseemly spectacle, Las Vegas
would spend the next generation making good on its losses.

Boxing was popular in the American West long before Las Vegas
became its epicenter. However, not everyone in the region was a
fan. Counterpunch examines how the sport's meteoric rise in
popularity in the West ran concurrently with a growing backlash
among Progressive Era social reformers who saw boxing as barbaric.
These tensions created a morality war that pitted state officials
against city leaders, boxing promoters against social reformers,
and fans against religious groups. Historian Meg Frisbee focuses on
several legendary heavyweight prizefights of the period and the
protests they inspired to explain why western geography, economy,
and culture ultimately helped the sport's supporters defeat its
detractors. A fascinating look at early American boxing,
Counterpunch showcases fighters such as "Gentleman" Jim Corbett,
Bob Fitzsimmons, and Jack Johnson, the first African American
heavyweight champ, and it provides an entertaining way to
understand both the growth of the American West and the history of
this popular-and controversial-sport.

lineal tracing of heavyweight boxing champions since Archie Moore's
first fight in 1956, after his drastic loss to Rocky Marciano that
previous year, in what was Marciano's last fight ever, and spanning
up through the time to Lennox Lewis' last fight in 2003, when he
would become just the third person ever, after both Gene Tunney and
Rocky Marciano, to retire as the lineal, undisputed haevyweight
champion of the world Also included in this book, are the lineage
tracings of the Cruiserweight championship division, from its
inception in 1979 all the way up through to when that division's
first undisputed champion, Evander Holyfield, successfully became
undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, thus unyfying that
division into the heavyweight one; and also the light-heavyweight
championship division, from 1956 through 1985, when that division's
undisputed champion, Michael Spinks, successfully became the
heavyweight champion of the world, thus absorbing that division
into the heavyweight championship one. A half-a-century, 450
glorious fights, and one amazing era, all in one incredible book,
beginning with Archie Moore, and ending with Lennox Lewis, this is
"Lineage Unbroken: The Complete Lineal Tracing of World Heavyweight
Championship Boxing (Post-Marciano Era) 1956 - 2003."
In his New York Times bestselling memoir, one of America's greatest
boxing legends faces his single greatest competitor: himself
"Champions come and go, but to be legendary you got to have heart,
more heart than the next man, more than anyone in the world. Ray's
heart was bigger than all the rest. He would never stop
fighting."-Muhammad Ali In Washington, D.C., during the 1970s, a
black man could get into the newspapers in one of two ways:
crime-or boxing. "Sugar" Ray Leonard chose to fight. After winning
a gold medal at the 1976 Olympics, Ray wanted to call it quits and
go to college, but his family's financial needs made him go pro.
Boxing history was made. All the while, another, darker Ray-one
overwhelmed by depression, rage, drug addiction, sexual abuse, and
greed-battled for dominance. In The Big Fight, Ray comes to terms
with both these men and shares a brutally honest and remarkably
inspiring portrait of the rise, fall, and ultimate redemption of a
true fighter-inside and outside the ring.
The definitive biography of one of the twentieth century's greatest
sports figures Joe Louis defended his heavyweight boxing title an
astonishing twenty-five times and reigned as world champion for
more than eleven years. He got more column inches of newspaper
coverage in the 1930s than FDR did. His racially and politically
charged defeat of Max Schmeling in 1938 made Louis a national hero.
But as important as his record is what he meant to
African-Americans: at a time when the boxing ring was the only
venue where black and white could meet on equal terms, Louis
embodied all their hopes for dignity and equality. Through
meticulous research and first-hand interviews, acclaimed historian
and biographer Randy Roberts presents Louis, and his impact on
sport and country, in a way never before accomplished. Roberts
reveals an athlete who carefully managed his public image, and
whose relationships with both the black and white
communities-including his relationships with mobsters-were far more
complex than the simplistic accounts of heroism and victimization
that have dominated previous biographies. Richly researched and
utterly captivating, this extraordinary biography presents the full
range of Joe Louis's power in and out of the boxing ring.
