Review: Amazing Book on Boxing Fundamentals. - This is exactly what Im looking for - a book that gives importance to boxing fundamentals. It’s an easy read with simple illustrations. There are hefty informations on how to improve your boxing game. I suggest reading through the book with actual boxing training and proceed with the next topic after adequate mastery of the new skillsets.
Review: The Manassa Mauler's Masterclass - I box a little and came across quite a few wonderful reviews of "Championship Fighting" on desertcart and decided to pick it up. I am writing this review about 6 months after I finished, as I am now reading Roger Kahn's biography of Jack Dempsey and was astonished to find it quoted almost word for word in that book by Dempsey himself. What this book is is a summation of Dempsey (with the help of Jack Cuddy) and his views on the art of boxing. Dempsey was not an educated man, but he was a fanatical student of boxing and, if this book is any indication, a bit of a natural writer. He learned his art in mining towns of the early 20th century and was extremely dismissive of the training ideas of those who came immediately after him, though he feels he shares some of the blame for bringing amateurs into the fight game because of the huge crowds he drew during his fights of the twenties. He spent a long time writing this book, which started out as more of a journal of his time learning his craft. Dempsey spends the first half of the book explaining punches, since that is the area that he thinks was the least understood in his time and one that a boxer needs to master before they begin to learn defense. What I can say is that Dempsey's techniques work: he talks about the power line and when you use it, you can feel a difference. His discussion of pure and impure punches is very interesting. Probably the best known part of this book is his discussion of the "Falling Step". What I can say about that is that it does work, but you are better off watching a YouTube video about it, because the books diagrams aren't the clearest (Here is a good one, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqieQ...) However, once you get past the punches, the defensive part of the book is just as interesting. Dempsey not only explains the differences between stances but goes into quite a bit of time on slips and his particular style, the bob and weave. I actually prefer Dempsey's explanation of slipping more than my trainers- we have had discussions about this- and I laughed when I saw a YouTube video of George Foreman in his prime doing the "Dempsey" bob, which my trainers also don't like very much. Dempsey is also a master at explaining counterpunch sequences. Dempsey's explanation of what an actual right cross is and how it is a devastating punch if used properly, is wonderful and will make you cluck your tongue at those who toss the term "right cross" around at any right handed punch. Probably the nicest part for me was the writing style; I am still not sure if Dempsey used a ghost, but if he did, it was a great one, because it sounds exactly like you'd expect Dempsey to sound. Read this and then read Roger Kahn's biography- a good read, but like others, I suspect he liked Dempsey too much as a person for it to be a good biography. Then, appetite whetted, go forth and read both of Joe Libeling's fantastic boxing books, "The Sweet Science" and "A Neutral Corner". Who would have thought that in my late 40's I would end up with two dead boxers, Jack Dempsey and Archie "The Old Mongoose" Moore, as new sports idols?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This exceptional work totally deserves the FIVE STAR!!!!
*by P***S on October 24, 2015*

I chanced my bucks with this book and turns out that it is not a disappointing investment. There's plenty of useful information in this book that you can put into actual practice in your training regimen which makes it even more appealing to me. This is more like an "instructional manual" and the book was obviously designed for that purpose. You can't go wrong with Jack Dempsy's work. PS I saw one of the review which said perhaps this is where Bruce Lee draw his inspiration. I totally agree with that. I've trained a little Jeet kune do in the past and Jeet kune do is the south paw version of Jack Dempsy's approach to boxing. Now Bruce Lee was learning to box as part of his martial art development. It makes me think that perhaps his boxing coach were familiar with Jack's method or one of those old timers boxers/ maybe Bruce Lee even read this book before. There's just so much resemblance to dismiss the possibility that Bruce Lee based his martial art on Jack's boxing approach. To call it a coincidence I think would not be a satisfying answer. There's 99 percent overlap between the two except the kungfu elements of parrying and kicking were part of jeet kune do's arsenal which present the 1 percent. PSS Another comment were saying it was difficult managing the "fall-step". Where I found it interesting was that if you had been a runner like me who studied the "Pose Method running" - by Dr. Nicolas Romanov ~ you grasp the idea almost instantly. I have no problem to adopt the "falling-step" in my training routine because the idea of falling step was what constitute the main practice of Pose Method of running. If you don't know what is "Pose Method Running" maybe you should google it and I highly recommend the book. It has completely changed the way I run and anyone can run injury free. Ok sounds like I am reviewing for another book but just so that you know another good investment and running is also part of boxing conditioning so there you go. ( It is surprising how much you can learn from books given the time and patience!)
