Overall about fair. WILL BE FOLDED WHEN SHIPPED.The highlight of the paper is the coverage of the Tom Hyer and Yankee Sullivan fight which occurred a few years earlier. A large wood engraved illustration shows the two fighters squaring off in the ring. While Sullivan a former political enforcer and convicted felon and a somewhat boastful individual ended up getting knocked out in less than 18 minutes. The fight was fought in Maryland and under the bare-knuckle rules. The paper also contains pictures of other famous fighters of the era including Tom Molineaux Tom Cribb Jem Belcher Johnny Walker and Jack Langan. Molineaux would fight in a losing effort against Tom Cribb for the title of Champion of England which at that time pretty much meant the heavyweight champion of the world. Molineaux was a former slave and would fight for a title almost 100 years before Jack Johnson won the heavyweight title from Tommy Burns. The Pictorial Clipper appears to be a supplement of the New York Clipper which was in business between 1853 and 1924 and had an entertainment focus. books

2017ill., br. Scappato dall'orfanotrofio di Tokyo, Joe Yabuki si ritrova a vagare senza meta tra gli squallidi bassifondi della città, fino a quando l'incontro con Danpei, un ex pugile che ora vive per strada, non lo convince a misurarsi con il pugilato...
2017ill., br. Dopo aver assimilato le prime lezioni di boxe per corrispondenza, Joe si appresta a imparare nuovi potentissimi colpi... sperimentandoli sulla propria pelle! Tra allenamenti sfiancanti e lavori forzati al riformatorio, cercherà di mettere a frutto i preziosi insegnamenti del maestro Danpei contro il suo rivale numero uno: Tooru Rikiishi.
2017ill., br. La palestra di Danpei ha ottenuto la licenza e Joe ha fatto il suo ingresso nel pugilato professionistico, disputando il suo primo incontro ufficiale con Wolf, il feroce "lupo" dell'Asia Boxing Club. Sconfiggerlo è la condizione necessaria per poter passare al prossimo, ambito avversario: il suo arcirivale Rikiishi.
2017ill., br. La sfida con Rikiishi ha avuto un esito doppiamente tragico per Joe: il ragazzo ha dovuto riconoscere la sua amara sconfitta, ma il suo avversario è drammaticamente morto alla fine dell'incontro per una commozione cerebrale causatagli da un suo pugno. Questo avvenimento getta Joe in uno stato di totale crisi, e la ripresa sarà più dura del previsto...
1995ill. Basata sugli stessi principi del full contact, la kick boxing estende le zone in cui è consentito portare i colpi con i piedi anche alla parte inferiore del corpo. In sostanza, occorrerà conoscere la struttura fisica, il modo di combattere, pregi e difetti dell'avversario, per poter comportarsi di conseguenza. Gli autori sostengono infatti l'importante principio che chi sale sul quadrato deve sempre scoprire o intuire le caratteristiche fisiche e tecniche dell'avversario, impostando su queste la propria tattica di combattimento, le contro-tecniche da usare e la scelta dei colpi da portare di volta in volta per conseguire la vittoria. Un ampio capitolo è infine dedicato all'alimentazione.
2018ill., br. Il mondo del pugilato, sia esso clandestino o professionistico, è sconvolto dalla presenza di un fighter freddo, impassibile, che sembra essere invincibile. Dietro a tanto clamore, questo algido lottatore insegue un impulso all'autodistruzione piuttosto che l'affermazione della sua carriera e della sua forza. Una storia di boxe, per i testi di Caribu Marley, che ci parla di riscatto e vite difficili. Una delle prime opere del Maestro Taniguchi che esplora i lati più oscuri dell'animo umano, in un volume unico, per continuare a vivere il suo tratto immortale.
2018br. Riuscito a scappare da una situazione terribile, con un padre che lo brutalizzava tra i campi di cotone dell'Arkansas, Sonny Liston fece in tempo a raggiungere sua madre a Saint Louis, a tredici anni, prima di finire nel penitenziario di Jefferson City. Capace di reagire al branco che voleva sottometterlo, fu notato dai cappellani della prigione che ne riconobbero l'immenso talento. Dopo aver sbaragliato il campo tra i dilettanti Liston portò a termine una delle più rapide e devastanti scalate al titolo mondiale dei pesi massimi, culminata nei due incontri fulminei con Floyd Patterson. Finito in mano alla mala che lo aveva tolto di galera e che controllava la boxe, fu costretto a eseguire gli ordini del boss Frankie Carbo fino alla fine dei suoi giorni, quando fu trovato senza vita a causa di un'iniezione di eroina pur avendo il terrore degli aghi. Considerato dai più grandi esperti ed interpreti della noble art, compresi George Foreman e Mike Tyson, il pugile più potente e spaventoso che sia mai salito sul ring, Liston deve gran parte della sua fama ai due incontri con Cassius Clay e Muhammad Ali. Sia il match mondiale di Miami, che la rivincita di Lewinston, sono avvolti dal "mistero", tanto che dopo cinquant'anni l'FBI ha deciso di riaprire il caso sul primo incontro, considerandolo truccato. Ed è proprio sulla prima sfida di Miami, nel 1964, che si raccoglie questo libro, dando per scontata la messinscena del secondo atto, quello del "pugno fantasma". Come ha potuto un campione del mondo in carica restare seduto sul suo sgabello dopo sei round, in una situazione di perfetta parità, per un improbabile dolore alla spalla? Non era forse dato favorito 7 contro 1 nei confronti di Clay? E la mafia dei Carbo, dei Palermo, dei Vitale, non spalmò forse decine di milioni di dollari puntando contro Liston?
