Ring Theory: Meditations on 35 Years in Boxing:

There's no sport that lends itself so readily to the written word as prizefighting, and in this collection, veteran boxing writer William Dettloff delivers 35 years of coverage and analysis of what remains the purest sport in the world. As a writer and former fighter, Dettloff brings readers with him into the gyms, the locker rooms, the rings, to press row and into the minds and psyches of those who engage in one of the oldest and most honest sports that ever existed. From interviews with the sport's stars and superstars, to the players that drive the business of boxing, Dettloff's reportage, skillful prose and historical knowledge make him one of the foremost chroniclers of modern prizefighting. There's a reason writers are drawn to boxing more than to any other sport, and in this collection, Dettloff strives to continue the long tradition of marrying literature to the fight game.
