Sinopsis

Learn Boxing Insights From One of the Greatest Heavyweight Champions

Joe Louis's How to Box will teach you to deliver a knockout punch, step by step. The legendary heavyweight champion thoroughly covers all aspects of boxing in this well-written, definitive guide. Louis's sense of fair play, good sportsmanship, and dedicated training will both instruct and inspire.

Beginning with mental discipline, Louis moves through basic training and equipment to stance, punching, and footwork, followed by working with a punching bag, methods of training, and learning various strategic punches. Generously illustrated with diagrams and action photos, here is everything needed to learn how to excel in the ring.

One of the greatest boxers of all time, Joe Louis was in the ring before and during World War II. Some of his famous bouts became symbolic of the larger global conflict at hand; because of this he was the first Black American to be widely recognized as a national hero, playing a key role in the eventual integration of professional sports.

Also included in this edition are listings of Louis's Heavyweight Title Defenses and championships in every weight class. How To Box concisely presents the best boxing techniques along with a slice of sporting history. Whether you are a sports fan, want a great workout, or plan to competitively enter the ring one day, this book by the man who famously said, "You can run, but you can't hide," is must reading.

This book is also available from Echo Point Books in hardcover (ISBN 1648370152).

Acerca del autor

Joe Louis, considered one of the greatest heavyweight boxers ever to grace the canvas, reigned as world heavyweight champion from 1937 to 1949, the longest single reign as champion by any heavyweight boxer, compiling winning decisions in 25 matches over 140 consecutive months. He was ranked as the best heavyweight boxer of all time in 2005 by the International Boxing Research Organization. Louis' influence outside the ring was extensive-the first African-American to be considered a nationwide hero, serving in the Army's Special Services Division as role model for World War II soldiers of all ethnic backgrounds, and he was instrumental in breaking the color barrier in golf after the war. The "Brown Bomber" continued to be active in boxing even in retirement. In 1982 he was posthumously awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest civilian award accorded by the U.S. Congress.
