Publisher Description This book presents a sweeping view of boxing in the United States and the influence of the sport on American culture.Boxing has long been a popular fixture of American sport and culture, despite its decidedly seedy side (the fact that numerous boxing champions acquired their skills in prison or reform schools, the corruption and greed of certain boxing promoters, and the involvement of the mob in fixing the outcome of many big fights). Yet boxing remains an iconic and widely popular spectator sport, even in light of its decline as a result of the recent burgeoning interest in mixed martial arts (MMA) contests. What had made this sport so enthralling to our nation for such a long period of time?This book contains much more than simple documentation of the significant dates, people, and bouts in the history of American boxing. It reveals why boxing became one of Americas leading spectator sports at the turn of the century and examines the factors that have swayed the publics perception of it, thereby affecting its popularity. In Boxing in America, the author provides a compelling view of not only the pugilist sport, but also of our country, our sources of entertainment, and ourselves. Author Biography David L. Hudson Jr. is an attorney, author, and licensed boxing judge. Details ISBN 0313379726 ISBN-13 9780313379727 Title Boxing in America Author David L.
