Inside the Ropes
Referee and elder statesman of boxing Arthur Mercante gives behind the scenes glimpses into his world, and into the lives and careers of the greatest boxers of all time. From Jack Dempsey to Muhammad Ali, to George Foreman and Marvin Hagler: Mercante has known them all. He has officiated more championship fights than any other referee, and his blow by blow account are peppered with grit and telling details as he analyses what went right for the winers - and what went so wrong for the losers.
But Mercante shares private moments as well. Making a commerical with Rocky Graziano, giving Sugar Ray Leonard a serious pep-talk in the dressing rom before a bout, discovering to his surprise that Mike Tyson is a fan of his, these are the stories behind the glamour and the grit.
