Excerpt from Knuckles and Gloves Sayers to the mill for a month and make him Sir Thomas on coming out of Clerkenwell. I am tempted in this connection to reproduce what must be one of the few letters Tom Sayers ever wrote. It was caused by a public discussion after his famous fight, which is little short of amazing when we look back at it. The newspapers were filled with frenzied denunciations, Parlia ment angrily discussed the question, Palmerston quoted, with every sign of satisfaction, a French journalist who saw in the contest a type of the national character for indomitable persever ance in determined effort, and then (cannot you see his smiling eyes above the semi-serious mouth proceeded to draw a contrast between pugilism and ballooning, very much to the disadvantage of the latter. A correspondent wrote to the Press inquiring indignantly whether it were true that the Duke of Beaufort, the Earl of Eglinton, and the Bishop of Oxford had attended this most disgraceful exhibition. Tom Sayers, roused to unwonted penmanship, retorted in the Daily Telegraph as follows In answer to your correspondent, I beg to state that neither bishop nor peer was present at the late encounter. It is from a pure sense of justice that I write you this. I scarcely think it reasonable that such repeated onslaughts should be made on me and my friend, Heenan. Trusting you will insert this in your widely circulated and well-regulated journal, allow me to remain, yours faithfully, Thomas Sayers, Cambrian Stores, Castle Street, Leicester Square, April 21, The Stock Exchange had given him a purse of a hundred guineas that afternoon, so you need scarcely wonder at the urbanity of his language. In the House of Commons, meanwhile, the Home Secretary had been calling forth cheerful expressions of hilarity by reminding those members who had witnessed the battle that they might be indicted for misdemeanour, though he was pleased to add that fighting with fists was in his opinion better than the use of the bowie knife, the stiletto, or the shillelagh.

Knuckles and Gloves covers the fascinating era in the history of boxing - the 18th through early 20th centuries. This form of sportive activity started as a practical means of self-defense, and evolved into a form of sportsmanlike warfare. From the early beginnings of prize-fighting, or boxing for money with bare fists, it developed into the sport we nowadays watch, practice and appreciate. In this book we have Bohun Lynch - an experienced boxer, not afraid to put on the gloves himself - who is a journalist, writing about boxing with the knowledge of an insider. He provides a valuable examination of this period when the sport transitioned from the use of bare fists to gloves, as well as snapshots of the great fighters of the day. Lynch observes, on his praise for knuckle-fights: "Moralists tell us that revenge alway turns to gall and bitterness.... Oh, does it really? The sheer physical delight in thrashing some one I hated, has lived on in sweet retrospect. There was no "hearty handshake" or anything pretty of that sort before the fight. It was simple, downright bashing, and it was delicious. And, not to please the moralist but to record a fact, the air really was cleared. We did shake hands afterwards, and all rancour was gone." Jack Dempsey, Jack Johnson, Robert Fitzsimmons and James Corbett are all familiar names to modern boxing fans, but here you will also read about Frank Slavin, Jem Belcher, Tom Spring, Tom Sayers and other early combatants of the ring. For the uninitiated, this book is guaranteed to alter their views on the King of Sports, and for fans and (amateur)-boxers alike this book will be a delight to read.

Robert Anasi's The Gloves offers a gritty, spirited inside look at the world of amateur boxing today. The Golden Gloves tournament is center stage in amateur boxing-a single-elimination contest in which young hopefuls square off in steamy gyms with the boxing elite looking on. Anasi took up boxing in his twenties to keep in shape, attract women, and sharpen his knuckles for the odd bar fight. He thought of entering "the Gloves," but put it off. Finally, at age thirty-two-his last year of eligibility-he vowed to fight, although he was an old man in a sport of teenagers and a light man who had to be even lighter (125 pounds) to fight others his size. So begins Anasi's obsessive preparation for the Golden Gloves. He finds Milton, a wily and abusive trainer, and joins Milton's "Supreme Team": a black teenager who used to deal guns in Harlem, a bus driver with five kids, a hard-hitting woman champion who becomes his sparring partner. Meanwhile, he observes the changing world of amateur boxing, in which investment bankers spar with ex-convicts and everyone dreads a fatal blow to the head. With the Supreme Team, he goes to the tournament, whose outcome, it seems, is rigged, like so much in boxing life today. Robert Anasi tells his story not as a journalist on assignment but as a man in the midst of one of the great adventures of his life. The Gloves, his first book, has the feel of a contemporary classic.
