{"product_id":"the-legend-of-mitch-green-charles-farrell-9781949590807","title":"The Legend of Mitch Green","description":"“Charles Farrell’s many personal encounters, questions, insights, and\nexperiences as an observer of the sport… add a multifaceted richness to [this]\nessay collection…. Readers will find its vibrant psychological, social,\npolitical, and personal revelations are just the ticket for a read that is\nsolid in its facts, unexpected in its focus and connections, and thoroughly\ndelightful in its novel approach to boxing.”—Midwest Book Review\nMitch \"Blood\" Green had\nmore things going for him to make big money in boxing than nearly any fighter\nin history. A six-foot-six, 225-pound heavyweight with a chiseled physique and\na traffic-stopping look, Green had ironclad street credibility—he was the gang leader\nof the Black Spades—and four New York Golden Gloves heavyweight titles.\n \nBut his penchant for\nmayhem, drugs, and chaos, while keeping him in the news, torpedoed his pro boxing\ncareer. He lost a high-profile decision to Mike Tyson at Madison Square Garden,\ngot into a tabloid-grabbing late-night street fight with Tyson at an\nafter-hours boutique in Harlem, and then disappeared.\n \nUntil Charles Farrell\nfound him.\n \nIn The Legend of Mitch \"Blood\" Green and Other Boxing Essays, Farrell captures life in the boxing\nbusiness from its deepest interior, and offers additional portraits of characters\nas wide-ranging as Donald Trump, Floyd Patterson, Bert Cooper, Charley Burley, Peter\nMcNeeley, and Muhammad Ali. Trenchant, fearless, and often flat-out funny, there has never\nbeen a boxing book like this, and there will never be another.","brand":"Hamilcar Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50764724470048,"sku":"9781949590807","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781949590807.jpg?v=1781270482","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/the-legend-of-mitch-green-charles-farrell-9781949590807","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
