love your writing. I’m ordering your book.

 

Thanks a million! It's a grim time, but hopefully the book will serve as a distraction.

 

Just finished this book. It belongs in the library of every boxing fan from the last 50 yrs. Great subjects. Great writing. It has it all. Best boxing book of the last 10 yrs easily.

 

Look forward to it

 

Anybody can write a book and state facts, it takes talent to turn words into art and Acevedo does. Will read this book forever.

 

Going to order it today. Haven't read a great boxing book since Nick Tosches Devil and Sonny Liston. The Mike Quarry/Davey Moore stuff sounds interesting. Can't wait!

 

I purchased it and I am devouring it .. Carlos, your writing is exceptional .. you have a voice my friend .. this is one I will read and reread through the years , like Wiley's Serenity .. a classic.

 

Does it go over Panama Lewis, and the black arts of boxing he taught?

 

Just ordered it.

 

Thanks so much! The book won't make me a millionaire but it's fulfilling to know that some people are enjoying it.

 

Thanks, man; I appreciate the kind words.

 

How about this .. as I like to tell A. Pollack, you're establishing a legacy of outstanding work.

 

Very interesting story on Sanchez Gomez .. had no ride Gomez was so poorly prepared, over confident and had to loose four pounds the day of the fight .. it explains a lot about his performance ..great read.
