Infos

In 2015, Booklist observed, the arrival of Hauser s annual boxing review is akin to Christmas morning for fight fans. Nobody knows a sport any better than Hauser knows boxing. Each year, readers, writers, and critics alike look forward to Thomas Hauser s annual collection of articles about the contemporary boxing scene. He s one of the last real champions of boxing and one of the very best who has ever written about the sport.A Hard World continues this tradition of excellence with dressing-room reports from big fights like Canelo Alvarez vs. Miguel Cotto, a behind-the-scenes look at Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao, and a foray into the world of mixed martial arts for a compelling portrait of Ronda Rousey. Most importantly, this new collection contains Hauser s groundbreaking two-part investigative report on the relationship between the United States Anti-Doping Agency and boxing, a report that shook the industry and raised fundamental questions regarding the integrity of USADA s drug-testing procedures as applied to boxing.
