She said that she will believe him if he can knock out that big horse in the stable. Book Preview. Duran was born in utter poverty in Panama and grew up in the streets, fighting to survive. Here also are both the public and private sides of Duran: his volatility, his kindness and reckless generosity, his partying, his links with the notorious regime of General Noriega, and above all his chilling love of battle. He finally retired in January of , at age fift Roberto Duran is a sporting legend. Original Title. It is actually a close fight when Leonard started clowning with a wind up bolo punch and doing the Ali shuffle. Boxing clubs formed up and Roberto soon joined them. Other Popular Editions of the Same Title. Colin J. Return to Book Page. It reads fairly and judiciously, but does not pass judgment on Duran, or any of the other characters though real people, 'characters' is surely the correct word in his life, though it would be easy to do so from a distance as they include military dictators, corrupt businessmen, the denizens of the fight game such as Don King, among others. Everyone thought this was the end of a great career but remarkably he managed one more comeback. The fight was close though until an 11th round combination sent Barkley crashing onto his bottom. His hunger to destroy opponents and his willingness to take on anyone, anywhere, made him a huge favorite while his flamboyant lifestyle outside the ring made headline news. Giudice interviewed the fighter, his family, his closest friends and scores of his opponents to separate truth from myth and fact from fable. The key is to train it and take it seriously. The Left Hook. Roberto "Manos de Piedra" Duran. What really stands out in my mind is the fact that the writer would ask about a certian event to Roberto, his manager, and his trainer and he would almost always get a completely different story from each on of them. After his fights through the 70s and 80s, rising through the divisions with phenomenal success just one loss he challenges Sugar Ray Leonard , dubbed as the "Fighter of the Year. Duran grew into a fighter's fighter. This was a very detailed biography - fight by fight detail. So he shows up for the fight weak causing an experience he never felt before in his 82 fight career. Christian Giudice. Deadline Hollywood. Duran was one of the first Latino fighters to become a mainstream sports star in the United States, and his natural talent, unprecedented achievements, and longevity made an indelible mark on the world of sport. Duran with his powerful punches won his first 28 bouts, 25 by knockout. More Details Rating details. Sep 12, Jerry Rocha rated it it was amazing. Best of Boxing Esports League.

I Am Duran is more up to date as the most recent of the two books and told by the man himself but, as much as I admire Duran as a fighter, I do sometimes question the veracity of some of the things he says which occasionally leaves doubt in my mind.

Good effortBy ihaschThis is a good, solid biography of my favorite boxer of all time. Hagler is a fighter whose stature grows with time. You look back on his career, on the tough road he had to the title, on the honest way he fought. The man was probably the last of his kind. As others have noted, Hagler himself does not participate (maybe we will see an autobiography some day) but the book is well sourced and well written.

  • By Nigel Collins a GOD AMONG MORTALS
    t was a difficult decision to make, play softball with my buddies from work or watch MEMORIES OF MARVIN HAGLER Marvelous Marvin Hagler challenge middleweight champion Alan Minter on television. The thorny issue was settled when a teammate somehow jury-rigged a small TV to the battery of his car, which was parked on the stretch of grass where we played. IFor some inexplicable reason that autumn afternoon in 1980 was the first thing that flashed through my mind after learning that Marvin had died, unexpectedly, March 13 at the age of 66. Maybe it was because he made his bones fighting a series of badass Philly middleweights at the Spectrum, located almost within homerun distance from where we clustered around a middle-aged Chevy with a black and white TV on its roof—an echo of the time when folks huddled around a radio to listen to Joe Louis fight. Our game wasn’t delayed for long. Hagler, a savvy, ambidextrous southpaw with a jackhammer punch, stopped Minter in the third round. The quick demise of the Brit sparked a disgraceful racist-fueled riot fermented by drunken thugs among the sellout crowd of 12,000 at London’s Wembley Arena. A fusillade of beer bottles came crashing A GOD into the ring like mortar shells and there were no foxholes in which to hide. AMONG MORTALS By Nigel Collins A GOD AMONG MORTALS What should have been the greatest moment of Hagler’s career turned into a scramble for safety when hooligans and degenerates pelted the ring with gar- bage following Hagler’s stoppage of Alan Minter to win the middleweight title in London in 1980.

Coach Mitchell started studying Lau Gar Kung Fu in 1985, by 1991 he was a member of the Lau Gar National Squad with national honours in competitive fighting, self-defence and traditional forms competition. In 1999 retired from International competition and looKed for his next challenge in the world of Martial Arts.

Today the Chinese KicKboxing system Tay Family Fist, named after coach Mitchell’s Chinese family name Tay, has matured into a complete but modern style of Martial Arts.

It was about five in the morning and my mouth tasted like a dirty ashtray rinsed out with stale beer. The broad lying next to me was bleach blond and fat.

  • Sporting Legends: Marvin Hagler
    SPORTING LEGENDS: MARVIN HAGLER SPORT: BOXING COMPETITIVE ERA: 1973 - 1987 Marvelous Marvin Hagler (born Marvin Nathaniel Hagler in Newark, New Jersey May 23, 1954), a native of Brockton, Massachusetts, was one of the most successful Middleweight Boxing Champions of all-time. Total fights 67 Wins 62 Wins By KO 52 Losses 3 Draws 2 Hagler started his professional boxing career in 1973, and soon began working his way up through the Middleweight rankings. He often had to travel to his opponents' hometowns to get fights, often boxing against the best that the city of Philadelphia had to offer (and beating them). Hagler took on all challengers, and by 1976 had chalked up a 26-0 record. However, during the same year he lost controversial decisions to Willie Monroe and Bobby 'Boogaloo' Watts, and had to suffer while watching less-deserving challengers receive title shots against Carlos Monzon and Hugo Corro. This served for Hagler to build upon a character that was as tough as steel, but with a soft spot in his heart toward his fans. Hagler soon avenged his 2 defeats by knocking out Monroe and Watts in rematches, and won a 10-round decision over Bennie Briscoe in a 1978 classic Philadelphia confrontation. By this time, he had made fans in both Massachusetts and Philadelphia, two of boxing’s legendary hot-beds. By then, promoter Bob Arum, a lawyer who had helped in the White House during President John F. Kennedy's tenure, took notice and signed him. Arum raised Hagler’s public profile and finally, in November 1979, Hagler was in the ring with a world Middleweight champion.
