Product Description
Product Description
Following in the tradition of the author's mid-decade bestseller, Workouts from Boxing's Greatest Champs, this sequel volume is set to KO all boxing/combat sport enthusiasts in 2010. Featuring interviews with a classic coterie of international boxing luminaries, this impressive anthology is superbly illustrated throughout with some of the best photos of them at work in the ring or training in the gym. Our celebrated present-day fighters and former champions range from the instantly recognisable 'Iron Mike' Tyson, Thomas 'the Hitman' Hearns and Roberto Duran to such respected British favourites as Danny Williams and Jim Watt. Running to a format which incorporates career synopses and mini-interviews for every fighter, the reader is introduced to the fitness and training regimes of some of the world's most physically powerful men. Culled from the author's original research, the greatest ever champion pugilists grant us a fly-on-the-wall look at 'A Day in the Life' and 'A Typical Day at the Gym'. Not just a boxing fan's album but a fitness guide for those looking for a seriously effective workout, Workouts . . . II grants the health & fitness-orientated reader vital knowledge from the Olympian gods of pugilism.

Does what it says on the tin!,

This review is from: Workouts from Boxing's Greatest Champs II: 2 (Paperback)
In hindsight it's easy to say you don't need to buy this book. However, it is interesting on your first day of purchase. The book tends to be very repetitve and there is nothing in there that an active boxer wouldn't know already. On the flip side it's hard to be too critical because the auther has taken the time to research what each of the champions do in they're training routines, it's just a shame for the book that all the routines are very similar and not much different to any active boxer's current routine. I bought books 1&2 together when either one would have done. After browsing through it on the first day of purhase, I find it hard to say that I'l need to look at it again.

This review is from: Workouts from Boxing's Greatest Champs II: 2 (Paperback)
A great book that is a must buy for anyone who is interested in the the science of getting a boxer ready for big fight. Also a handy book for those would be champs who are looking to vary their routine. A must have book for fight fan and fighter.
