Bare Fists The History of Bare-Knuckle Prize-Fighting
Wow, this book was a disappointment. First, let me state that I love boxing. Even more, I love old boxing. I am a huge fan of John L. and those old timers that fought for hours under the blazing sun without the aid of gloves. I was real excited to read this book but by the halfway point I wanted to toss it in the trash.
I don't know what it is, but the authors writing style just irritates me. I can't put my finger on it and say "its XYZ" but there is something that bothers me.
I really just wanted a fast read on the history of bare knuckles boxing but this was like one antidote after another of people I've never heard of nor care about. I get putting some in to give the reader a glimpse of boxing in times past but it seems like he pretty much found every obscure boxer and added them in. I started losing track of who he was talking about at certain points.
If you want this much detail, this is the book for you. If you want an overview look elsewhere.
