Let me say that this is the best boxing training manual I have ever read . I have read many in the past including Nat Fleischer's fine series. In my humble opinion, this tops them all. The author Bobby Mayne is a former boxer and now a trainer . This book must have taken hours and hours to put together. The end result is over 200 pages of instructions and photos. A truly priceless volume of knowledge . The author leaves no stones unturned as he touches on every aspect of the Sweet Science. I was amazed at how well author Mayne broke down every move, every punch and counter punch . Offensive strategy, defensive strategy ... it's all in this fine book. This is a must have for every fan of the art of boxing. A one of a kind masterpiece . www.dmboxing.com
