I am right now reading a book called "Boxing's Strangest Fights" by Graeme Kent. I have not finished it yet, I read maybe 40 % of it and I like it a lot. - Great stories about great fighters or forgotten fighters. An interesting story about Stanley Ketchel, "Iron Man" Joe Grim and many others. I would post a picture of one or two of those short stories but I do not know if this is against the rules here. The old stories hint that lots of fights were fixed back then and one story mentions that there sometimes was a gentleman agreement between 2 boxers to not hurt each other too much when the fight was maybe not as meaningful. Not that this is new information for anyone here but overall the book just helps every boxing enthusiast get a bigger and better picture about boxing history, no matter if you are on the "Klompton-boxing-historian" level or on any other (boxing historian) level.
Thanks, I think have not read that one yet. But I guess it focusses on the tournament which was created to get a white challenger for Jack Johnson. I remember some crazy and sad things happened there.
