A fantastic read.By mschmidtSimply a must for any boxing fan. Mr Dixon journey is all that is boxing and the stories behind the boxers, the stories behind the stories, are captured fabulously in this grey hound forward bus journey. Don't miss out on this one. It will, for those of a certain vintage, bring back all those nostalgic memories, be it watching a fight with Dear Old Dad, or being at a certain place at a certain time, during some glory days of boxing. A fantastic read. It is also a reminder, often sad, of all that these great warriors of the best sport have given of themselves mentally and physically.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. This book tells a side of Sonny Liston I never ...By J. Russell PeltzThis book tells a side of Sonny Liston I never knew. I met him at a fight at the old Philadelphia Arena in 1963 when I was 16. Shook his hand and my hand got swallowed in his grip. I asked him for his autograph and he took out a pad with his photo on it and his signature already on it. Maybe Geraldine signed it; who knows, but I still have it. Who cares, anyway? He gave t to me and I still have it. He was larger than life. This book is a history of Las Vegas in the 1960s and Liston's involvement there in the illegal drug scene. Lots of new information.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Title betrays boxersBy Charles BirimisaBeing a lifelong boxing fan I reacted in a bubbling manner when I saw "The Road to Nowhere A Journey through boxing's Wastelands," for sale on . The book, published in 2014, is described as being an Englishman boxing writer's travels through the United States, seeking out and finding some of the greatest boxers, now retired. Mentioned were names that to myself are, and always will be, bigger that life. I ordered up the book and waited longingly for it's arrival. The first act after the book came was to look at the photographs. Recent images of boxers I grew up with filled this section - Matthew Saad Muhammad, Jeff Chandler, Marvis Frazier, Jimmy Young, Dwight Muhammad Qawi, Buster Douglas, Vonzell Johnson, Aaron Pryor, James Scott, Duane Bobick, Marvin Johnson, Eddie Mustafa Muhammad and Yaqui Lopez. Initially, it was interesting to see how these men looked most recently. All of them had aged and some were barely recognizable. I absorbed these photos and buckled up before addressing the written portion of the book. The author Tris Dixon's first line in the book, in the Acknowledgement - "It's been a grueling journey through boxing's wastelands," seems to lay a foundation of what's to come. Overall, I liked the book, likening it to a boxing non-fiction "On the Road." Dixon describes how on a meager budget he took Greyhound buses around the country, many times walking long distances, lodging in cheap motels, sometimes on sofa's, in search of these forgotten boxing legends. As I was reading I thought, "I could have done that. Should have done that." Then early on in a chapter about Marvis Frazier, I was tripped up a bit. Frazier, the son of late heavyweight champion Joe Frazier, was in 1983 knocked out by Larry Holmes. Dixon describes Holmes as "near his prime." "Holmes was way past that," I shouted back at the page. Further on, in the chapter about Dwight Braxton (Muhammad Qawi), Dixon writes Qawi "didn't look 50 and there was no sign of any physical damage from his brutal wars with Saad..." "Brutal wars with Saad? Both fights were one-sided slaughters," I barked. Then I reviewed the author's short biography. Dixon was born in 1977, and would have been between four and six years old when those bouts featuring Marvis Frazier and Dwight Braxton actually happened. That explains it. The author is really to young too remember those details. I am too old and that's why I remember that, and reacted in the manner I did. As I continued to read the book I wondered how the information, mostly depressing, that I was soaking up about my boxing heroes would settle. I began thinking maybe I wish I had not read the book. Did I really need to know about their warts and problems and post non-ring and ring-related suffering? The last line of the last chapter "The journey through boxing's wastelands was over," snapped by head back like a Larry Holmes jab would have. I read the books title again. I decided the title betrays the boxers mentioned in the book. None of them went "nowhere." If they are part of "wasteland's" why did a young writer feel so strongly about finding them and writing about them. Why am I writing about them? True, many former professional boxers, ex-champions and otherwise, end up in dire situations.But this is not any different from any occupation in the entertainment industry. At one time many famous athletes; actors, musicians etc commanded enormous amounts of wealth which, as nature would have it, melt away with time. In general this happens to most of us, no matter what occupation, as we move on towards our latter existence. It is nothing to be ashamed of. It is the balance of life. Imagine being a champion of the world? A top contender ("I coulda been a contender") for the championship of the world? How about a new title "THE ROAD TO SOMEWHERE. A JOURNEY THROUGH BOXING"S FRUITFUL PLAIN" In the era of boxing's pay-per-view superstars, Tris Dixon invested in a Greyhound bus pass and spent months tracking down fighters from yesteryear who had vanished from the limelight. Venturing from New York to Las Vegas and from Toronto to Miami, the young writermdash;himself a former amateur boxermdash;sought out coulda-been-contenders and cult heroes from the 1950s to the 2000s. He visited old people's homes, gyms, and prisons, discovering that life after boxing is a cruel place when the ropes are no longer there to keep fighters safe from the world. Dixon meets men who shaped boxing history, fighting the likes of Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali, and Mike Tyson. He shares their memories and weaves together their tales over the course of a remarkable journey. About the AuthorTris Dixon is a former boxer and the editor of Boxing News. He collaborated on Ricky Hatton's autobiography, War and Peace, and appears regularly on talkSPORT, Sky Sports, and CNN.

  • Whatever His Hands Find to Do
    | 1 Thursday, October 17, 2019 Whatever His Hands Find To Do Boxer Andre Ward lay on his bedroom floor, his muscular legs propped up against the wall, trying to keep the thoughts that were tumbling through his mind from spilling out of his mouth. His wife, Tiffiney, was in her closet, just out of reach but within earshot. And he had never admitted the things to her that he was struggling to keep inside now. “Don’t talk like this; don’t admit this,” Ward cautioned himself. “Don’t say the ‘R’ word.” Retirement had not been the plan. Ward was at the top of his game. In fact, he was a day away from publicly announcing a three-fight deal with HBO—a cherry on top of an unbelievable mound of victories. But he felt overwhelmed and burdened. Maybe it was time to stop. Tears began rolling down his cheeks as he let the words come out. He thought it was time to end the boxing career that had consumed and propelled him for 23 years. Ward wasn’t accustomed to crying. He was used to winning. In the 13 years he’d been a professional boxer, he had never lost a single match. A Look Back Ward grew up in the Bay Area of California, where his first love was baseball. But when his dad started telling him stories about his own amateur heavyweight career, it was game over. Ward wanted to be like his dad—a fighter. There was plenty about Frank Ward not to emulate. He was a functional heroin addict: an engaged and well-meaning business owner and father, but one who couldn’t slip or weave out of addiction, emerging blank and distant from his room.

Below are quotes from this event: Evan Holyfield: “I signed with Main Events! First off, I would just like to thank God for allowing me to get to this position. There were times in my life when things didn’t make sense and I always prayed for perseverance. I want to thank Kathy Duva for taking a chance on me. I want to thank my whole team and I want to thank my mom. We have been through a lot and it took a lot to get here. I probably wouldn’t be here without her.” Termite Watkins Photo Credit: Hosanna Rull/Main Events Maurice “Termite” Watkins – Holyfield’s Manager/Trainer: “About 30 something years ago I got to meet this man named Lou Duva. We got to become friends and he had this fighter. His name was Evander Holyfield. I want to give a big shout out to Evander because I would not be here without him. Toi Irvin, Evan’s mother, thank you for trusting me with your son. We’ve made this decision and we have come a long way in a short time.
