Cut Time: An Education at the Fights by Carlo Rotella

jeremyhornik's review against another edition

4.0

Direct, well-structured essay that explores the fascination of boxing. It gives equal weight to the intellectual and the physical, with 'hurt' being a whole chapter... but always, always with respect for the care and strategy of the well-made fight plan. I plowed right through it. Fascinating stuff.

This was a pretty somber or reflective book on boxing. Rotella made a big emphasis on pointing out the sacrifice, discipline, pain, etc. involved in boxing. It was pretty boring at times.
