Go to your corner and come out fighting

Do you know anyone who boxes for recreation or professionally? Not a sport for everyone, only a small group of men become professionals.

Inside the Ropes, written by Arthur Mercante and Phil Guarnieri, brings us inside stories of some of the greatest prizefights of all time, including Floyd Patterson–Ingemar Johansson II, Joe Frazier–George Foreman I, and The Fight of the Century: Muhammad Ali–Joe Frazier I.

Referee and elder statesman of boxing Mercante gives behind-the-scenes glimpses into his world and into the lives and careers of the greatest boxers of all time. Mercante has officiated more championship fights than any other referee, and his blow-by-blow accounts are peppered with grit and telling details.

For boxing fans, Inside the Ropes is available today for only $4.28.
