Title: Good collection of short articles
Review: I haven't tried Bert Sugar before but I will buy more of his books after reading this one.The book consists of a collection of his articles over the years, some of the stories are short, some are fairly lengthy.I think that the strength in Sugar is not so much his readable writing style, it is the way he occasionally adds little nuggets of information on certain boxers. He is a breezy author and his books are not difficult to read at all. I liked the stories on the fighters especially John L Sullivan.I would have liked to have seen more modern stuff in the book as that was where Sugar stands out, he knows the inside story on some fighters.The best section is Chapter 1: Rants and Raves - this is how the book could have been presented, a series of boxing articles.He would write a good auto-biography.
