How to shake free of Old School bias.

Holmcall, Have you read the Arc of Boxing by Mike Silver? I haven't, but I read a review and it seems like it would be up your alley.

Yes indeed. I know Mike very well and he was the guest speaker at the annual Ring 4 Veteran Boxers Banquet in Boston (of which I am amember) and I had the honor of sitting at the dais with him and next to Micky Ward--a real stroke oif luck--that.

I was going to review it for the site I write on, but then I saw that too many others have already reviewd it. I would have given it a glowing review although I am not nearly as Old School as Mike. But he did his research and that's what counts big for me.

He also is a nice chap.
