In the Ring With Bob Fitzsimmons ReviewAdam J Pollack is in the midst of an ambitious project in writing a historical record of the Heavyweight Champions and Championship.
After writing a book about John L Sullivan, the first universally recognized heavyweight champ, he has turned his sights on Bob Fitzsimmons, the third Champion.
He fills a great void in the scholarly assessment of boxing linear Heavyweight Champs, as little has been written about Fitzsimmons, and he has been relegated to historical obscurity.
This is a shame, because his is a great story, and it was a fascinating time in the embryonic development of what boxing was to become.
This cannot be mistaken for a biography, as Pollack never really delves deeply into Fitzsimmons' personality, and never really takes us into his life over and above boxing.
But as a historical boxing chronicle, it is scrupulously researched and factually documented. It takes us from the start of his career to his ascension to the first triple championship in boxing.
Boxing in the 1890's was a rogue sport, and not condoned by the general public or public officers. Yet thousands of people would attend a prizefight, and betting was both common and the amount of money bet was prodigious.
Especially well written was the chapter dealing with the fight for the Heavyweight title between Fitzsimmons' and James J Corbett. This chapter detailed two fistic giants who brought out the absolute best in each other, in one of the most skillful fights ever fought in this division.
At the end of this book, the author promises a book on James Jeffries, the fourth linear Heavyweight Champ. I will be in line to read this, as well.In the Ring With Bob Fitzsimmons Overview
