  Revives the era when college boxing attracted huge crowds, outdrawing the professional bouts. In 1940, when Joe Louis defended his heavyweight crown before 11,000 fans in New York's Madison Square Garden, collegiate boxers battled before 15,000 fans in Madison. This book tells the story of how and why this college sport abruptly ended in 1960.
