Description

Glen Sharp’s boxing career was a rise-and-fall story without so much rise in it.

A sparring partner for heavyweight Hall of Famer Yaqui López, he “retired” with a record of one victory and two defeats.

A decade later, having come to understand how and why he failed as a younger fighter, he attempted a comeback. Told with heart and wit, his memoir is a treatise on boxing as both profession and purpose.

Sharp uses economic theory to describe the sweet science as a case study in resource management while recounting his own struggle to win fistic glory and his father's admiration.
