Bring It to the Ring: a Boxing Yearbook and Inspirational Message to Today's Youths Eric Rineer

This yearbook, which provides a behind-the-scenes look at professional boxing, is intended to encourage young people to set high goals in life and, more importantly, to conquer those goals - no matter which sport or profession you choose in life. The photographs and interviews inside were compiled between April 2003 and April 2004, during a significant period in modern boxing: Rising trainer James "Buddy" McGirt led Antonio "Magic Man" Tarver to a stunning knockout of Roy Jones Jr., marking the end of an era for a pound - for - pound king. Buddy continues to train Antonio - the light heavyweight champion - in Vero Beach, Florida, the scene of this book. Inside you will find helpful advice from champions and witness the preparation that goes into a championship prizefight!
