Infos

The story behind the Major Motion Picture The Fighter, starring Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale, Irish Thunder is about a boxer from a boxing family and a boxing town, but it is not a boxing book. It is about the human spirit, blind loyalty, self-preservation and self-destruction. Mickys dramatic victories inside the ring are recounted in detail, but it is his victory outside the ring that will leave the reader inspired.
