Anyone read Hands of Stone?

[smashup]

Nearly finished it and it's very well researched and full of some great fight reviews.
Deffo reccomend it and what a life Duran had!!
The fights are described in brilliant detail and at £7 it's a bargain.

I've been buying more boxing books than I can read at the minute. Im half way through Hands of stone, good read.

The accounts of events are always a good read but you kinda have to take them with a small pinch of salt most of the time.

Boxers rarely lose because they werent good enough

I noticed there seems to be a lot of people rubbishing other peoples versions of events throughout the book and at times you start think "Who is actually telling the truth here"!!
The fella who wrote this must have done so much research though!
