Book: That Night at the Garden
Posted: 08 Dec 2005, 06:39
I just finished reading "That Night at the Garden" by Jim McNeill.
Author Jim McNeill, who wrote the solid "They Could've Been Contenders" a few years ago, has done an excellent job in describing 22 different events that were housed in the former mecca of boxing. Some of the greatest fights in history are included here; Greb vs. Tunney, Ali vs. Frazier, Duran vs. Moore, Louis vs. Walcott, etc.
Outside of the actual fights we are also given brief bios of the fighters, very interesting reading. With this book McNeill has given a good contribution to boxing history and those specific fights described.
I eagerly await his next project.
I give this book 8/10.
Next book: "Charley Burley & The Black Murderes Row" by Harry Otty.
