內容簡介

"This book may cement [Acevedo’s] status as one of today’s best boxing journalists."--Kirkus Reviews

Boxing has one of the richest literary traditions in sports. From A. J.
Liebling to Donald McRae, the sweet science has consistently inspired great
writing. The work of Carlos Acevedo stands firmly in that distinguished
tradition.

In this expanded edition of Sporting Blood, Acevedo adds two new masterful
essays--one about the murder of Stanley Ketchel, the other about the gangland
slaying of Battling Siki--to those that made his debut collection an instant
classic. Other highlights include a moving meditation on Muhammad Ali; a
penetrating look at the enigmatic Charles "Sonny" Liston; and a vivid profile
of Mike Tyson, which brilliantly conjures the Boy King’s late 1980s reign of
terror. Acevedo also offers many other unforgettable tales from boxing’s dark
side, featuring Jack Johnson, Joe Frazier, Roberto Duran, Aaron Pryor, Jake
LaMotta, and more.

Sporting Blood is a poetic throwback, a singular book that evokes
journalism’s golden age and places Acevedo among the best sportswriters of his
generation.
