    Yes. It was a great read. I gave it to my son to read. He's giving it to my grandson next.

    Excellent book, highly recommended. You will learn a lot about Sam and also about many other good/great fighters of Sam's era, as well as getting an good look at Australian boxing and the influence of Aussie law enforcement on the conduct of the bouts.
