    The audiobook is good, read by Bunce himself.

    Great read! Crazy how he spent years thinking he killed a man only for him to show up feeling as good as ever.

    Sugar Ray Leonard - great
    Jake Lamotta - great
    Mike Tyson - great
    Tyson Fury - crap
    Lenny McLean (if you like bare knuckle) - great

    Had to feign gratitude didnt have the heart to show my dissapointment. This one and the fury ones are especially annoying as they try and combine it as a self help mental health book.

    Tbf there were bits of it were hes talking about early amateur days that i dont mind, but then cant carry on through all the mental health lectures.

    Either last year or the year before I was given the Hearn book twice. As soon the family members left after lunch, I binned them both.

    Will definitely look to read Raging Bull, although seems to be hard to come by online!

    Oh buddy come on man lol, that response. If you must know I had a brief flick through and didn’t need to be told how to ‘stay motivated’ in 12 steps for 250 pages, it was embarrassing. However I would prob recommend it to people who spend all day in Weatherspoons. You know, your mates.

    I am reading his old man’s book at the moment though. Quite good.
