Excerpt: Million Dollar Baby is a 2004 American film directed, co-produced, and scored by Clint Eastwood and starring Eastwood, Hilary Swank, and Morgan Freeman. It is the story of an under-appreciated boxing trainer, his elusive past, and his quest for atonement by helping an underdog amateur female boxer (the film’s title character) achieve her dream of becoming a professional. The film won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture. The screenplay was written by Paul Haggis, based on short stories by F.X. Toole, the pen name of fight manager and “cutman” Jerry Boyd. Originally published under the title Rope Burns, the stories have since been republished under the film’s title. Margareth Fitzgerald, a waitress and aspiring boxer, leaves her Missouri town in the Ozarks for Los Angeles, where she trains in the gym of Frankie Dunn, a brilliant but down-and-out boxing trainer who has been cast aside by his colleagues and relatives, including his estranged daughter Katy. Dunn initially refuses to train Maggie because she is a woman and almost 32 years old. Maggie, however, perseveres in her attempts to win Dunn over by training each day in his gym, even when others discourage her. Frank’s friend and employee, ex-boxer Eddie “Scrap Iron” Dupris narrates the story in non-dialogue scenes. After Dunn eventually agrees to train Maggie, she fights her way up to the women’s welterweight boxing division, winning many of her fights with first-round knockouts. Lacking a close relationship with his own daughter, who returns his letters unopened, Dunn comes to establish a strong bond with Maggie, whose own family cares little for her well-being. When Maggie buys her mother a house with some of her winnings, she berates Maggie for risking her and Maggie’s sister’s … More:

At the Fights: American Writers on Boxing

$15.63

American writers have been fascinated by the ring, both the primal contest inside the ropes and the crazy carnival world outside them. From neighborhood gyms and smoke-filled arenas to star-studded casinos and exotic locales, they have chronicled unforgettable stories about determination and dissipation, about great champions and punch-drunk has-beens, about colorful entourages and outrageous promoters, and, inevitably along the way, about race, class, and violence in America. Like baseball, boxing has a vivid culture and language all its own, one that has proven irresistible to career journalists and literary writers alike.The Library of America presents a gritty and glittering anthology of a century of the very best writing and reportage about the fights. Here are Jack London on the immortal Jack Johnson; H. L. Mencken and Irvin S. Cobb on Jack Dempsey vs. Georges Carpentier, dubbed “The Fight of the Century”; Richard Wright on Joe Louis’s historic victory over Max Schmeling; A. J. Liebling’s brilliantly comic portrait of a manager who really identifies with his fighter; Jimmy Cannon on the inimitable Archie Moore; James Baldwin and Gay Talese on the haunted Floyd Patterson; George Plimpton on Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X; Norman Mailer on the “Rumble in the Jungle”; Mark Kram on the “Thrilla in Manila”; Pete Hamill on legendary trainer and manager Cus D’Amato; Mark Kriegel on Oscar de la Hoya; and David Remnick and Joyce Carol Oates on Mike Tyson. National Book Award-winning novelist Colum McCann (Let the Great World Spin) weighs in with a foreword.

Atlas: From the Streets to the Ring: A Son’s Struggle to Become a Man

“Of all the people who have affected by my life and influence the choices I’ve made, none has been more important than my father.” So begins the autobiography of legendary boxing trainer and commentator Teddy Atlas, who grew from the rebellious son of a doctor to a man who embraces, and lives by, his father’s values and code. In this gritty, spellbinding tale, Atlas recounts his fascinating life  as a juvenile delinquent on the streets of Staten Island; as a boxer and Golden Gloves champion under the tutelage of famed trainer Cus D’Amato; as a companion to the dangerous, unpredictable Sammy “the Bull” Gravano, up until the day Gravano turned rat and brought down crime boss John Gotti; and as a trainer of champions and contenders, among them fourteen-year-old Mike Tyson and heavyweight Michael Moorer, whom he led to the crown with a win over Evander Holyfield. Equally engrossing are Teddy Atlas’s accounts of training dancer and choreographer Twyla Tharp for her successful comeback at age forty-two; his work with actor Willem Dafoe, preparing him for his role as a concentration camp boxer in the film Triumph of the Spirit; his journey to Poland to choreograph the film’s boxing scenes; and his own performance in movies such as Play It to the Bone. In sharing his stories, Atlas reveals the philosophy by which he lives. Like Teddy Atlas  inimitable, tough, honest, and wise  this book inspires. It is about so much more than boxing. It is a story of overcoming hardships, of compassion for those in need, of tremendous personal integrity, and of personal and professional triumph.

Boxers Who Committed Suicide: Alexis Arg ello

$10

Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Alexis Argüello (April 19, 1952 July 1, 2009), also known by the stage name El Flaco Explosivo (lit. “The Explosive Thin Man”), was a Nicaraguan professional boxer and politician. As a boxer he was a three-time world champion. His trainer was Lupe Sanchez. After his retirement from boxing, Argüello became active in Nicaraguan politics and in November 2008 he was elected mayor of Managua, the nation’s capital city. He allegedly committed suicide on July 1, 2009. Arguello is ranked 20th on Ring magazine’s list of 100 greatest punchers of all time. “The Explosive Thin Man” suffered an unavenged first round TKO loss in his 1968 professional debut, but then won 36 of his next 38 bouts, which then led him to a world Featherweight championship bout against experienced WBA champion Ernesto Marcel of Panama in Panama. The young challenger lost a 15-round unanimous decision in Marcel’s retirement bout. Undaunted, Argüello began another streak of wins, and found himself in the ring with a world champion again, this time challenging Marcel’s successor to the throne, Mexican world champion Rubén Olivares in Los Angeles. After Olivares built a small lead on the judges’ scorecards, Argüello and Olivares landed simultaneous left hooks in round thirteen. Olivares’s left hand caused a visible pain expression on Argüello’s face, but Argüello’s left hand caused Olivares to crash hard against the canvas. A few seconds later, Argüello was the new Featherweight champion of the world. Argüello defended this title a few times, then moved up in weight to challenge world Junior Lightweight champion Alfredo Escalera in Bayamón, Puerto Rico, in what has been nicknamed The Bloody Battle of Bayamón by many. Escalera had been a busy champion with
