This is an excellent read. Bob Mee takes you through the history of bare knuckle boxing from the past ot the the present day. My only gripe is that he sees modern day bare knuckle boxing as brutal. I disagree. While abroad, I have seen bare knuckle boxing. It is no more brutal than fights with gloves and there have been no deaths in the ring. The fighters are also evenly matched which is more than you can say for a lot of big fights. The fights I have seen have been fast, very exciting, and come to a conclusion quickly - usually with a knockout. If you get a chance to see one, do go. I found it thrilling. Apart from that, this is a good book.

Book was as described, well packaged, and shipped quick. Very happy with both the seller and amazon. The only thing that annoys me is that I'm forced to type a review of a length of their choosing, I was done at the last sentence.

This is by far the best bare knuckle boxing book available. Bob Mee has written a history book without the dryness and mistakes found in most books on the subject. Highly recomended!
