In "The Sweet Science Goes Sour, " boxing writer Thomas Myler
recounts some of the sport's most controversial fixes, fakes, and
frauds. Like a ringside seat at the sport's greatest and most
troubled bouts, the book brings to life boxing's many outrageous
characters. They include Primo Carnera, tragically manipulated and
ultimately destroyed by mobsters; Sonny Liston, who lost to
Muhammad Ali because of a suspicious phantom punch; and Roberto
Duran's, who was involved in a baffling surrender to Sugar Ray
Leonard. Here too are notorious matchups like Riddick Bowe versus
Andrew Golota, which ended in an unprecedented full-scale riot at
Madison Square Garden. There's also Mike Tyson's infamous ear-munch
on a shocked Evander Holyfield. Based on solid research and written
in a dramatic, "you-are-there" style, this book pulls back the
curtain on the squared circle to reveal the seamier side of the
sweet science.
