The 12 Greatest Rounds of Boxing: The Untold Stories

Ferdie Pacheco has had a lifetime association with boxing, first as a fan, then as Muhammad Ali's personal physician, and finally as a broadcaster. Now Pacheco has chosen a dozen of the most unforgettable rounds in boxing history. He recounts the circumstances leading up to "The Long Count" in the Jack Dempsey versus Gene Tunney fight of 1927, explains the political overtones of the Joe Louis versus Max Schmeling fight in 1938, and examines the turning points of both Ali versus Sonny Liston championship battles. With 25 vintage photographs, this look at the theater of the ring re-creates the thrill of witnessing boxing history.
