The Fighting Fisherman by Raymond Fraser Pdf

Yvon Durelle fought from the tiny Acadian hamlet of Baie Ste. Anne to within a heartbeat of being light-heavyweight boxing champion of the world. Durelle emerges in this book as a man of contradictions. His lifelong nickname was "Doux"--gentle--but he mastered a spectacularly brutal profession. Accounts of his fighting career reveal a man of incredible toughness and audacity: in 1952 he fought Olympic gold medalist Floyd Patterson with a broken hand. His life outside the ring was equally audacious: in 1977 he was charged with shooting and killing a man outside a Miramichi drinking club. This biography follows Durelle's painful progress through both worlds. The Fighting Fisherman is a remarkably frank portrait of a complex man and a punishing sport. This edition replaces the Goodread edition of this title, ISBN 0-8878-0114-5.

A Fisherman's Goodbye by Steve Kralick Pdf

Quite often the sea propels comparisons to life. Author Steve Kralick, whose background is salt laden from years upon the Caribbean, has breathed life into Jose Caserias, an aging Spanish fisherman in this captivating novella created for all people of all ages. Jose, whom Kralick admittedly befriended "in another life," struggles against the sea as well as the trials of life. His is an existence of treasured memories, and a monumental question about an unsure future formulated by the author in the most simplistic, yet powerfully symbolic vocabulary through a series of flashbacks in Jose's life. Confront the turbulent oceans of our existence while seeking the satisfaction and understanding of life as she deals her cards to us in a story where reading between the lines is every bit as important as reading the words themselves.

Historical Dictionary of Boxing by John Grasso Pdf

The Historical Dictionary of Boxing focuses on the as champions of boxing along with the lesser-known boxers who helped shape this sport. More of these boxers come from the United States but there are others from Europe, Asia and Latin America, and there are also entries on the major boxing countries as well. Plus entries on the rules, on the organizations, and on the technical terminology and jargon you have to know just to follow the bouts. The introduction provides a broad view of boxing’s history while the chronology traces events from 688 B.C. to 2012 A.D. Not all that much has been written on boxing that is not ephemeral, but much of that literature can be found in the bibliography. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the sport of boxing.
