Description
Dave Newhouse, the award-winning and long-time sportswriter and columnist for the Oakland Tribune, has written his eighth book about his life-long fascination with the sport of boxing, based on fights he heard on the radio with his father in the late-1940s. With a foreword from Professional Football Hall-of-Famer, John Madden, Newhouse’s book focuses on what is considered boxing’s premier weight-division, the middleweights. Of this division, Newhouse concentrates on three of boxing’s most recognizable figures from the post-war period: Tony Zale, Rocky Graziano and Marcel Cerdan. It is with these three boxers as the backdrop that Newhouse paves the way for a present-day understanding of the sports decline in popularity.More Info
