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

Book Review: How to box - here.
Summary: 5 Stars

If you have to get only one book on how to box, this is the one. It has almost all amateur (and some pro) boxing covered. Lots of good exercises, drills, and tactics. The ONLY thing it is lacking in, is pictures - could use more photos for a couple of the techniques.
