    12 greatest rounds of boxing. thats a great read. Tons of Info on each fight in wich the great round happens, and even more insider detail on the round itself
    Isn't that Freddi Pachecos boook?

    Im glad you gave it a great ratting, i dont always aggree or like the things Pacheco used to say, but he does know boxing. I seen and have the documentary of the book on video, sounds like the book is better then the video documentary.

    Pacheco, Cyz and Albert, that was a great anaylist team for boxing.
