The sport of boxing is dying in a last explosion of dollars. Its
beleaguered performers are reaching up for a last payday with
bravery, one-liners and self-delusion. Fittingly it is in boxing's
capital, in a faded downtown Vegas casino with a hooker for
company, that the author, a boxing writer and sometime boxer's
agent, reflects on his own exit from the scene. As the boxing world
starts to recede, the characters he has lived with, and for, rear
sharply into focus one last time: the astonishing Jack Kid Berg,
and Kid Chocolate the Havana Dandy, and 'Sweet C' McMillan. This
Bloody Mary is the journey of an obsession. It started innocently
enough. But as it proceeds, the arc lights begin to shift, until
even the shadows in the minds of those who inhabit and surround the
ring seem caught in their glare.
