Title: Too much fluff, not enough Braddock
Product review: While the concept of Braddock's hardships and the level on which he competed are interesting, DeLisa puts too much emphasis on small details and characters. It was easy to get lost in his sauce of players, boxers, spectators, managers, this guy, and that guy. What about Braddock? What about his relationship with his kids, neighbors, family, in relation to boxing? Why not simply state the various build ups to different fights, as opposed to Primo Carnera's birthplace and the size of his underpants? This story does not get fully underway until more than half way through the book. It ends quickly without much information of Braddock's former years and how he lived after boxing. More about the concept of Cinderella and how other people were also fighting at the time--fighting to live. Wordy and simplistic, skip to the middle of the book. Don't waste time assuming the photos at the beginning of the chapters have much to do with the actual text and storyline.
