Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life, Battles and Career of Battling Nelson: Lightweight Champion of the World Nelson is the fourth real lightweight champion since the peerless Jack McAuliffe retired with the title. The Durable One says he is worth a quarter of a million dollars, and does not care if he ever sees a glove again. He has always fought on the level, and says he would rather fight than eat. Withal he is intelligent and posseses more schooling than the average prize ring champion. He boasts of his record as a mathematician. He began at the bottom of the pugilistic ladder and gradually worked his way up till he reached the pinnacle of success in the ring. Bat has also written a special story - My Ring Experiences With the Negro Population. In addition to Battling Nelson's own stories of his life, he has written a Synopsis of the two foremost cartoonists in the world - T. A. Dorgan known as TAD, Sporting Cartoonist of the New York Evening Journal, and Robert Edgren, known as Bob Edgren, Sporting Editor and Cartoonist of the New York Evening World. There are also a few stones of the Battler's career that tell of the thrilling times he has had during his climb to the championship. They are reproduced in this book, word for word, as they were written by the authors. The stories that appear are: By John R. Robinson: Dr. Dudley A. Sergent's Examination - Nelson A Human Being. By Bat: Synopsis of the Lightweight Champion. By W. J. (Spike) Slattery: Fighting Dane Thrives on Punishment and Wears Down His Rival. By John Wallace Crawford: Why Battling Nelson Fights. By Jack London: Brain Beaten By Brute Force, or Nelson, "the Abysmal Brute," Beat Britt, the Intelligent Creature. By Miss Etta Foster: How a Woman Views a Fight and Fighters.

Download or read book Battling Nelson, the Durable Dane written by Mark Allen Baker and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-12-09 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oscar “Battling” Nelson (1882–1954) was perhaps the toughest professional boxer ever to enter the ring. Although a Hall of Fame inductee, Nelson remains a lesser known great of boxing lore. From the beginning of his career at 14, the Danish immigrant presented himself as a man of integrity who never smoked, drank or took a dive. In the ring and in public, Battling Nelson crafted a Renaissance man image as a lightweight champion, reporter, entertainer, real estate mogul, entrepreneur and ladies’ man. The first ever champion in his weight class to mount a comeback, he strove to break new ground (even if he wasn’t always successful). This book tells the story of a ring legend whose endurance was second to none and whose trilogy with Joe Gans is one of the great rivalries in sports history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inside Madison Square Garden, the City Ring was the altar of pugilism from 1925 until 2007. Hosting countless championship fights, historic main events and memorable undercards, it was center stage of boxing history. The ring now rests at the International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, New York--its 132 assembled pieces memorializing a key facet of 20th century American life. While many books have been written about great fistic contests that took place at Madison Square Garden, this is the first to focus on its Holy Grail.

Book excerpt: Throughout history, potters, sculptors, painters, poets, novelists, cartoonists, song-writers, photographers, and filmmakers have recorded and tried to make sense of boxing. From Daniel Mendoza to Mike Tyson, boxers have embodied and enacted our anxieties about race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality. In her encyclopedic investigation of the shifting social, political, and cultural resonances of this most visceral of sports, Kasia Boddy throws new light on an elemental struggle for dominance whose weapons are nothing more than fists. Looking afresh at everything from neoclassical sculpture to hip-hop lyrics, Boddy explores the ways in which the history of boxing has intersected with the history of mass media. Boddy pulls no punches, looking to the work of such diverse figures as Henry Fielding and Spike Lee, Charlie Chaplin and Philip Roth, James Joyce and Mae West, Bertolt Brecht and Charles Dickens in an all-encompassing study that tells us just how and why boxing has mattered so much to so many.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Azumah Nelson has been described as the greatest boxer to come out of Africa. Born the year after his home nation of Ghana gained independence, he played a major part in putting this new country on the world map. A glittering amateur career saw him win every title except an Olympic medal, as Ghana boycotted the 1980 Games when he was a favourite to win. After turning professional, he took a last-minute bout for the world title with the great Salvador Sanchez, a bout that changed his life. Two years later, in 1984, he won the WBC Featherweight World Title. Like many champions, he rose from humble beginnings, suffered tragedy along the way, but he won and remained a world champion at featherweight and super featherweight for eleven years. Very few champions have carried such a burden of expectation, and Azumah delivered success at a time when his country needed a hero. He never faltered and won the respect of many across the world.

Book excerpt: America’s black boxing champion. Hitler’s favorite athlete. And a world at war. Joe Louis was born on an Alabama cotton patch and raised in a Detroit ghetto. Max Schmeling grew up in poverty in Hamburg, Germany. For both boys, boxing was a way out and a way up. Little did they know someday they would face each other in a pair of battles that would capture the imagination of the world. In America, Joe was a symbol of hope to a nation of blacks yearning to participate in the American dream. In Germany, Max was made to symbolize the superiority of the Aryan race. The two men climbed through the ropes with the weight of their countries on their shoulders—and only one would leave victorious. The battles waged between Joe and Max still resonate today. War in the Ring is the story of these two outsized heroes, their lives, their careers, and the global conflict swirling around them.
