Championship Rounds (Round 4)

Award-winning journalist Bernard Fernandez releases Round 4 of his history-spanning boxing anthology. 

Few can match Bernard Fernandez''s peerless prose about boxing. He is a master storyteller and a uniquely gifted writer in the mold of A.J. Liebling, the sweet science''s greatest scribe. Every page of Bernard''s latest anthology, ''Championship Rounds, Round 4,'' sizzles like a Joe Frazier left hook.

Bernard Fernandez is one of the premier boxing writers of his generation and this, the latest collection of his reportage, demonstrates why. Every piece portrays a wisdom and enthusiasm for prizefighting tempered by loyalty to the finer points of writing and truth. He remains essential reading.
