Step into the exhilarating world of late 19th-century boxing and witness the rise of a true sports icon, James J. Corbett, in this gripping biography, "The Roar of the Crowd." Delving into the life and times of one of the most celebrated and influential pugilists in history, this meticulously researched account unveils the remarkable journey of a man who not only mastered the art of boxing but also shattered societal norms, forever changing the face of the sport. In an era dominated by brute force and raw power, James J. Corbett emerged as the embodiment of grace, strategy, and finesse in the squared circle. Born in San Francisco amid the tumultuous late 1800s, Corbett's path to greatness was anything but easy. Enduring a challenging childhood, marked by poverty and adversity, he turned to boxing as a means of survival. Little did the world know that the unassuming young man would evolve into an icon of the sweet science. From his humble beginnings as a street fighter to capturing the world heavyweight title, Corbett's rise was meteoric. His groundbreaking match against the formidable John L. Sullivan not only secured him the title but also established a new era in boxing, where technique and skill took precedence over brawn alone. Corbett is considered by many to be the "father of modern boxing" for being the first person to apply scientific principles to the art of pugilism. However, "The Roar of the Crowd" doesn't merely chronicle the triumphs; it offers an intimate look into the personal struggles and sacrifices Corbett endured behind the scenes. As he navigated the world of fame and fortune, he grappled with newfound temptations and the burden of being a role model for aspiring athletes worldwide. Here is his story in his own words and chronicles his rise to world champion and all of the successes and defeats along the way. "The Roar of the Crowd" is a tribute to an extraordinary athlete and a testament to the indomitable spirit of the human heart, making it a must-read for sports enthusiasts, history buffs, and anyone captivated by tales of perseverance, triumph, and the enduring roar of the crowd.

When he died in 1933, James J. “Gentleman Jim” Corbett was honored by two distinguished groups of people: the professional boxing public, who celebrated him as America’s greatest boxing champion, and the world of popular theater admirers, who revered him as one of Broadway’s top vaudeville headliners. Corbett was uniquely instrumental in making boxing and popular theater both justifiable commercial enterprises, to be enjoyed by all classes of people. He became America’s first national sports hero and went on to formulate the theater world’s star system. This is the first definitive biography of the man who knocked out heavyweight champion John L.

Essentially the last of the bare-knuckle heavyweight champions, John L. Sullivan was instrumental in the acceptance of gloved fighting. His charisma and popular appeal during this transitional period contributed greatly to making boxing a nationally popular, “legitimate” sport. Sullivan became boxing’s first superstar and arguably the first of any sport. From his first match in the late 1870s through his final championship fight in 1892, this biography contains a thoroughly researched, detailed accounting of John L. Sullivan’s boxing career. With special attention to the 1880s, the decade during which Sullivan came to prominence, it follows Sullivan’s skill development and discusses his opponents and fights in detail, providing various viewpoints of a single event. Beginning with a discussion of early boxing practices, the sport itself is placed within sociological, legal and historical contexts including anti–prize fighting laws and the so-called “color line.” A complete record of Sullivan’s career is also included.

When Jim Jeffries won the heavyweight title in 1899, boxers were the most celebrated athletes in America. Icons John L. Sullivan and Gentleman Jim Corbett had preceded him, but Jeffries seemed to be of a different breed--big, strong, and almost freakishly athletic, with the ruggedness of the grizzly bears he hunted on his trips into the wilderness. Big Jim was a brand new kind of American hero, and the heavyweight era he dominated was loaded with a group of great fighters that most boxing historians rank as being unmatched until the "Golden Era" of Ali-Frazier-Foreman in the 1970's. Tearing through his opponents with the ferocity of a force of nature, Jeffries retired undefeated in 1904, but was reluctantly lured back into the ring six years later to take on the first black heavyweight champion, Jack Johnson, in what was arguably the most controversial sporting event in American history.--From publisher description.

Born to former slaves on St. Croix in 1860, Peter Jackson made his name as a boxer with his smooth, fast style and a dangerous one-two combination. After immigrating to Australia, Jackson became that country's national heavyweight champion in 1886 before moving on to the United States and claiming the title of Colored Champion of the World in 1888. For the next ten years Peter Jackson remained undefeated, finally losing to the great Jim Jeffries in 1898. Although he never received a shot at the heavyweight title--reigning heavyweight champion John L. Sullivan refused to defend his title against a black man--Jackson remains one of the greatest heavyweights ever.
