Golden Gloves-New York
The book was filled with great photos. Especially wonderful were the old time fight pictures from the early days. Interspersed were short stories highlighting winners ann future champions. A great read!

Very disappointed
The subject matter had so much potential. Failed to live up to it's most minimal expectations. Complete era's of champions were ignored. The book was incomplete as a historical guidepost. It failed to list all the Golden Gloves Champions in In the history of the GG. Save your time and money skip this book. Vastly over-rated.

Cradle of Champions A Knockout,
By
This review is from: Cradle of Champions: 80 Years of New York Daily News Golden Gloves (Hardcover)
Bill Farrell gives 15 rounds of championship reading in this compendium of Golden Gloves history. He covers the highlights of its eight thrilling decades from the opening bell in 1927 to the late rounds here in the 21st century. His lively, colorful and descriptive writing sets up a gallery of action-packed photographs that capture dramatic moments in amateur boxing's premier annual event. If you are a fight fan and you loved watching gifted champions, strong contenders and valiant competitors, including Rocky Marciano, Carmen Basilio, Sugar Ray Robinson, Floyd Patterson, Cassius Clay, Chuck Wepner, Gerry Cooney and Mark Breland, you must have this book.
