The Proper Pugilist

About the Book

Long ago, when the teenage Roger Zotti was living in New Haven, he was knocked unconscious in the first round by a "friend" who knew how to box and punch. After he regained consciousness, it dawned on him that it’s less painful writing about boxing. The Proper Pugilist, a compilation of essays about the sweet science, is a sure bet to inform and entertain the reader.
