Have you read it yet?
That cover photograph kind of reminds me,did Max Baer ever write a 'how to box" book too?

[Ambling Alp II]

Yes. It stressed the importance of training, fundamentals,training, not relying on just on your right hand, not telegraphing your punches, and of course, always taking your opponent seriously.

[Caractacus]

so what did the photographs in it look like anyway?
please discribe them.

[Ambling Alp II]

I guess you didn't realize that I was kidding.
Seriously, I like Baer. He was a good guy, and a colorful figure who put butts in the seats. Better than more than 99% of the fighters who have laced up the gloves.
