Book Reviews of The Ultimate Boxer: Understanding the Sport and Skills of Boxing

Book Review: One Of The Best & Most Comprehensive
Summary: 5 Stars

One Of The Best & Most Comprehensive

It's written right there on the front of the book - Understanding the Sport and Skills of Boxing - and it delivers all that and more.

This is really a great book for the person interested in boxing either as a sport, an art or fitness training. It's for the novice and the ring veteran.

The Ultimate Boxer is divided into 8 incredibly comprehensive chapters:
Fundamentals
Conditioning
Science
Strategy
Competition
Social aspects
Coaching
Supportive material

Each chapter is complete, informative and educational.

The tips, suggestions and advice are plentiful. There's a great section on how to compete against specific styles - i.e. how to box a croucher, a southpaw, a slugger etc - as well as excellent guidance for fundamentals, conditioning and training exercises

I plan to keep this by my training equipment as a reference guide and use and review over and over again.
