Boxing Should Be Glad
To Have "Bad" Brad!
By Jim Amato
29.07 - There is more to boxing then the
two gladiators giving their all under the scorching
lights. Although their blood and guts are the heart
and soul of the game, the sport is filled with supporting
characters. From the commissioners, promoters, managers
and trainers. From the cut men, sparring partners and
photographers. To the writers, publicists, buyers, sellers,
collectors and fans. The game is as simple as it is
complicated. The whole of many participating parts.
Do you want to take the time to learn a little more
about the sport? If so then you may want to pick up
a copy of "Bad" Brad Berkwitt's outstanding
book "Boxing Interviews Of A Lifetime".
This book touches the very depths of the sport with
an extra emphasis on the personal touch. Brad talks
to such a wide array of people associated with the sport
using his unique candor. The rapport he has with the
people he interviews almost makes you feel that you
are sitting right in on the session. As they say, up
close and personal.
I felt like I had a chance to get to know some of my
favorite fighters like Earnie Shavers, George Foreman,
Ron Lyle and Yaqui Lopez. To share the great wisdom
of Angelo Dundee and Pete Rademacher. To laugh at the
comments by celebrity boxing fans Joey Bishop and the
late, great Buddy Hackett.
There is over 450 pages of questions , answers and insights
packed into this dynamite book. I only hope that "Bad"
Brad plans to do a sequel. There are so many more people
to talk to.
