Boxing fans love the upset, seeing the
underdog surprise the heavy favorite and take the fight to him,
winning over the fans andperhaps even more importantthe 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. Youll 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. |
