    I haven't read this ,but, when Burns finally consented to meet Johnson ,Lynch stated Burns would win, because of his superior in fighting ability .:oops:
    Does that help as a guide?

    I'm about 30 pages in to it. Apparently there are print versions and a free version online on google books. I've been chipping away at the online version (which is DL'able as a PDF) and it's straight forward information much like Edwin Haislet's manual on boxing. It's a traditional stance on understanding the sport of boxing through history and development of styles over time (Haislet).

    Compared to Lynch's book, from the time I was able to scan ahead in "The Complete Boxer" it appears even more indepth then Haislet's book. There's a lot of breakdown on past styles and functionality of the boxer during that era. Still very interesting.
