Rocky Lives!

Boxing fans love the upset, seeing the underdog surprise the heavily backed favorite and claim a moment of glory. This book presents 75 heavyweight boxing upsets of the 1990s, with details of the pre-fight hype, the fight itself, and how the underdog triumphed. Some involve boxers still fighting today; others contain a cautionary tale of once-great boxers chasing one last payday, and bums who should never have been in the ring at all: it celebrates boxing's universal appeal of the underdog fighting the odds! From the Tyson-Douglas, Foreman-Moorer, and Lewis-McCall top-dollar fights to low-level curiosities like former New York Jet Mark Gastineau getting embarrassed, it brings real-life Rocky tales to the reader with stories that will and shock and inspire! It is presented in a new Paperback (Hardback ISBN 1-57488-905-2; published April 2005).
