THE TRUE STORY OF THE MANASSA MAULER He started out as a mine mucker and digger in construction camps. He fought anybody, anywhere. He got $2.50 for his first “regular” match. He was a hungry, penniless kid. Then almost overnight he was champion of the world and a millionaire and the idol of the nation. IT’S ALL HERE—THE WHOLE THRILLING TRUTH! ...the amazing story of the massacre of Giant Jess Willard, who was supposed to beat Dempsey to a pulp but who couldn’t come out for the fourth round—— ...the thrilling details of the night the champ took on three men in Montreal, and knocked each one cold in the first round—— ...how he came back to KO Firpo after Firpo smashed him clear out of the ring. He had speed and cunning and could hit like a pile driver. He was really the super fighter of the ring! HERE IS THE CHAMP... ...beating up the bullies in western mining camps when he was just a kid ...knocking down 250-pound Jess Willard seven times in one round to go on to win the heavyweight crown ...whipping Georges Carpentier of France in their spectacular million dollar Battle of the Century ...getting punched clear out of the ring in his battle with Luis Firpo, then coming back to win ...putting Gene Tunney on the canvas for the “long count” of 14 seconds. NAT FLEISCHER, editor of The Ring, tells you everything you’ve always wanted to know about the kid who rose from rags to become the world’s heavyweight boxing champion and the favorite of millions. IT’S DYNAMITE! This edition, which was first published in 1949, includes the complete text of the Revised Edition published in 1936, as well as special material added to round out the exciting story of Jack Dempsey.

Hall of Fame middleweight prizefighter John Edward Kelly, better known as Nonpareil Jack Dempsey, was one of the most popular athletes in the United States during the late 19th century. To many observers, Dempsey is one of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters in ring history. Inside the ropes, he was fearless, poised, quick, agile, and had terrific punching power with both hands. His story is rich--full of amazing highs and terrible lows. He was a poor immigrant Irish boy who scaled great heights to become one of this nation's first sports celebrities. He became a household name, wealthy and popular. But much too soon, it all came crashing down. His violent profession, alcoholism, mental illness, and tuberculosis left little to recognize of the valiant hero of so many battles.

Among the legendary athletes of the 1920s, the unquestioned halcyon days of sports, stands Gene Tunney, the boxer who upset Jack Dempsey in spectacular fashion, notched a 77—1 record as a prizefighter, and later avenged his sole setback (to a fearless and highly unorthodox fighter named Harry Greb). Yet within a few years of retiring from the ring, Tunney willingly receded into the background, renouncing the image of jock celebrity that became the stock in trade of so many of his contemporaries. To this day, Gene Tunney’s name is most often recognized only in conjunction with his epic “long count” second bout with Dempsey. In Tunney, the veteran journalist and author Jack Cavanaugh gives an account of the incomparable sporting milieu of the Roaring Twenties, centered around Gene Tunney and Jack Dempsey, the gladiators whose two titanic clashes transfixed a nation. Cavanaugh traces Tunney’s life and career, taking us from the mean streets of Tunney’s native Greenwich Village to the Greenwich, Connecticut, home of his only love, the heiress Polly Lauder; from Parris Island to Yale University; from Tunney learning fisticuffs as a skinny kid at the knee of his longshoreman father to his reign atop boxing’s glamorous heavyweight division. Gene Tunney defied easy categorization, as a fighter and as a person. He was a sex symbol, a master of defensive boxing strategy, and the possessor of a powerful, and occasionally showy, intellect–qualities that prompted the great sportswriters of the golden age of sports to portray Tunney as “aloof.” This intelligence would later serve him well in the corporate world, as CEO of several major companies and as a patron of the arts. And while the public craved reports of bad blood between Tunney and Dempsey, the pair were, in reality, respectful ring adversaries who in retirement grew to share a sincere lifelong friendship–with Dempsey even stumping for Tunney’s son, John, during the younger Tunney’s successful run for Congress. Tunney offers a unique perspective on sports, celebrity, and popular culture in the 1920s. But more than an exciting and insightful real-life tale, replete with heads of state, irrepressible showmen, mobsters, Hollywood luminaries, and the cream of New York society, Tunney is an irresistible story of an American underdog who forever changed the way fans look at their heroes.

Published in 1948, "How to Box" was the first instructional book developed and written by one of the greatest fighters of his time, Joe Louis. The nuts and bolts of Louis' brilliant engineering are here in this book. Legend has it that before beginning the fighter-trainer relationship that would help define him, Louis worked with one Holman Williams who is credited by some with supplying Louis with perhaps the most precious gift he ever received-his jab. But Williams is also said to have taught Louis the rudiments of the defense and was supposedly the first man to encourage Louis to punch in combination. "Boxing is built upon punching and footwork," says How to Box. "If the stance is too narrow for balance, move the right foot a few inches to the right to widen the stance; if too wide, glide the right foot forwards a few inches. Don't lock the left leg but keep it straight."Freddie Roach described Joe Louis as the "best textbook fighter of all time." Here we see the first great foundation of that inch-perfect style. Louis hardly ever made small adjustments with his left foot. His left jab is always perched over that lead foot, ready to be thrown. A boxing training manual intent on conveying the art of boxing, physical fitness knowledge, and the power of the sport to the general public. A great historical reference and a valuable addition to any library concerned with the history of boxing and martial arts.
