    Is there a way to get "Rocky Marciano's Book of Boxing & Bodybuilding" (Prentice-Hall Pub. - 1957) on "E-Book"?

    Thanks!

    Hey Bill, what you see is what I got.

    The only way that Marciano book is going to become an ebook is that someone's going to have to get their hands on that book and then scan it. There's currently a collector on the cyberboxingzone that has it and is charging $75 for the book.

    In case you're interested here are some of Rocky's boxing tips:

    Rocky Marciano's thoughts on boxing
    1. The left jab
    • It keeps an adversary off balance and sets him up for such power punches as the right cross and left hook.
    2. The right cross
    • Requires perfect timing and coordination
    • Gauge your distance correctly
    • The three "S's" of a correct hand [technique]: straight, snappy, short
    3. The left hook
    a. A short, fast hook is best
    b. Starts from the feet up
    • Pivoting on ball of left foot
    • Turn your body toward the right
    • Push your hips up
    • Snap shoulder into punch
    • Left knee goes inside toward right knee, and the left heel goes outward
    If you hear a voice within you saying that I am not a painter, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.

    The Sweet Science (Audio book)
    by A.J. Liebling

    A.J. Liebling's classic New Yorker pieces on the "sweet science of bruising" bring vividly to life the boxing world as it once was. It depicts the great events of boxing's American heyday: Sugar Ray Robinson's dramatic comeback, Rocky Marciano's rise to prominence, Joe Louis's unfortunate decline. Liebling never fails to find the human story behind the fight, and he evokes the atmosphere in the arena as distinctly as he does the goings-on in the ring--a combination that prompted Sports Illustrated to name The Sweet Science the best American sports book of all time.

    Regulation of Boxing: A History and Comparative Analysis of Policies Among American States
    By Robert G. Rodriguez

    This first nationwide study of boxing regulations in the United States offers an historical overview of the subject, from the earliest attempts at regulating the sport to present-day legislation that may create a national boxing commission. It examines the disparity of regulations among states, as well as the reasons for some of these differences. The work features interviews with boxing officials, analysts and boxers, and includes the results of a national survey of state athletic commission personnel. In-depth case studies of boxing regulations in Nevada and Kansas provide a close look at different states' methods, and Argentina's centralized system of regulation is presented as a comparison to the U.S. approach.

    The Legality of Boxing: A Punch Drunk Love?
    By Jack Anderson

    The first book of its kind dedicated to an assessment of the legality of boxing, The Legality of Boxing: A Punch Drunk Love? assesses the legal response to prize fighting and undertakes a current analysis of the status of boxing in both criminal legal theory and practice.
    In this book, Anderson exposes boxing’s 'exemption' from contemporary legal and social norms. Reviewing all aspects of boxing - historical, legal, moral, ethical, philosophical, medical, racial and regulatory - he concludes that the supposition that boxing has a (consensual) immunity from the ordinary law of violence, based primarily on its social utility as a recognised sport, is not as robust as is usually assumed.
