Product Description
On August 29, 1885, Cincinnati was the scene for the first modern heavyweight championship boxing match using gloves. The Boston Strong Boy, John L. Sullivan, met Dominick McCaffrey at the citys Chester Park that day and came away with the referees decision. By this time, Cincinnati had been a noted boxing site since the Civil War years, and over the next several decades, it developed a remarkable number of fine boxers in both the professional and amateur ranks. Out of the many gymnasiums in Over-the-Rhine and the West End came world champions such as Freddie Miller, Ezzard Charles, Bud Smith, and Aaron Pryor. This book is the story of a fascinating aspect of Cincinnatis great sports heritagethe boxing gamewith all its leather-punching drama. From the frontierlike matches of the 19th-century river town to the urban ethnic and social influences of the 20th and 21st centuries, Cincinnati Boxing brings a rich part of local history to life.

Wonderful job! The stories of both the famous like Ezzard Charles, and the little-known fighters are very interesting. Covers the whole range of boxing, amateur and pro, and with good photographs.

Left out so many people that made Cincinnati a great Boxing town. When doing a book like this should get more input from boxers and family members to do it justice !
