Items related to Rocky Lives!: Heavyweight Boxing Upsets of the 1990s
Synopsis
Boxing fans love the upset, seeing the underdog surprise the heavy favorite and take the fight to him, winning over the fans and―perhaps even more important―the judges. Sylvester Stallone mined that emotion through his long series of Rocky films. Rocky is fiction, however. The men in Rocky Lives! are real. David E. Finger, a writer for top boxing website FightNews.com, presents chronologically seventy-five heavyweight boxing upsets of the 1990s. Some involve boxers still fighting today; others contain a cautionary tale of once-great boxers chasing one last payday. There are also the early-round disasters of wannabes and athletes who switched to boxing in midstream. From the Tyson-Douglas, Foreman-Moorer, and Lewis-McCall top-dollar fights to low-level curiosities like former New York Jet Mark Gastineau getting embarrassed or Eric“Butterbean” Esch taking to the ring, David Finger presents the best heavyweight upsets the 1990s have to offer. You’ll read about crooked promoters drugging opponents, a convicted felon hoping victory in the ring will win him leniency, and a forty-five-year-old preacher looking to exorcise a two-decade-old demon. Rocky Lives! brings all the knockouts and slugfests right into your home.

Rare book
Review
"I was impressed with the facts that were combined with the action in the ring and the drama that surrounds each fighter. The book also proves that to achieve anything in life, one needs motivation and a strong will to succeed." "Finger does an excellent job of not only finding the fights that the average fan had long forgotten, but telling the reader why he should care about those bouts. . . . riveting . . . Boxing fans will enjoy reading about the Levi Billups, Lou Monacos, and Darroll Wilsons as much as they will the Mike Tysons, Razor Ruddocks, and Tommy Morrisons."
