Sun, 17 August 2008 ![]() Prizefighting: An American History by Arne K. Lang This work brings a fresh perspective to the study of modern prizefighting, a sport which has evolved over several centuries to become one of mankind’s most lasting and valued sporting attractions. With his primary focus outside the ropes, the author shows how organizers, publicity agents, and political allies overcame both legal and moral roadblocks to make fisticuffing a lively commercial enterprise.
