Review:

“De La Hoya’s memoir reads fast and well. It reveals a man who is capable of far deeper sincerity than the “Golden Boy” who graces the podium at press conferences.” (CBS Sports)

“This memoir, his first literary glance in the rearview mirror, is a revealing and solid read.” (Los Angeles Times)

“An inspiring and motivating title ..., an entertaining description of the ins and outs of a boxing career, and a fascinating insight into a Latino hero.” (Críticas Magazine)
