Boxers do what the vast majority of us will never do: they stand
toe-to-toe and try to inflict as much punishment upon each other as
possible. In Chasing Rocky, J. P. Flaim, a suburban father of two
and cohost of The Sports Junkies on 106.7 The Fan in Washington,
DC, became a part of that small percentage of people drawn to
become a boxer. What started as a crazy idea from the arena seats
of a professional boxing match transforms into a personal challenge
that the deejay cannot ignore.
This memoir follows the journey of this average Joe who chases
his dream and discovers there's more to boxing than what can be
seen inside the ropes. Chasing Rocky narrates Flaim's foray into
the boxing world, where he encounters a dubious boxing promoter who
sees only dollar signs, a no-nonsense trainer who tests his
resolve, an aspiring pro who longs for a title shot, and an icon
who has inspired millions.
Chasing Rocky presents an inside look at the brutal training
boxers endure. From facing fears to dealing with the pain of
getting punched, Flaim tackles the sacrifices boxers make and
explores the promotional aspects-from choosing the perfect heel to
creating a grand ring entrance. He shows what happens when the bell
sounds and a radio promotion idea becomes a boxing reality.
