Overview

"Rookie reporter Chris Jones had no idea what he was getting himself into when he took on the boxing beat. He was just looking for a sport to call his own, and boxing "was the unloved and unclaimed, the abandoned child on the department's stoop." But like so many others who are drawn toward boxing's dark lights, what began as a simple curiosity soon escalated to an unhealthy obsession." "In Falling Hard, Jones documents the year that followed, as the mysterious trade crept deep inside him, set his heart pumping one minute and broke it the next. It forced him to stare at violence - in others and in himself - and dared him not to flinch. He brings the reader with him, right down to ringside, where we can feel the blood and sweat of today's greatest boxers: Otis Grant, Roy Jones, Francois Botha, Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield, and Cesar Soto, among others."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
