Mills Lane's book is primarily about him personally and offers little about boxing and boxers, which is what I wanted to read about - he is a likeable enough fellow - and I essentially agree with his old-school and conservative viewpoint (mainly that one is responsible for one's self) - but more detail about the "more than 100 world title bouts" he refereed and the fighters who fought in them would have been appreciated - he gives brief nods to Evander Holyfield and Sugar Ray Leonard and (His Highness) Muhammad Ali and Marvin Hagler - but offers almost nothing about most of the title matches he worked or the many other fighters with whom he crossed paths - instead he spends time yakking about the dark-side of boxing finances and the cretins who lurk within the multi-titled system - true that, but I am primarily interested in the brave men who step into the ring and the personal drama which surrounds the sport of boxing - If you are interested in books about referees/trainers and inside information about boxing - all of the following are better bets than "Let's Get It On". "Inside the Ropes" by Arthur Mercante; "Corner Men: Great Boxing Trainers" by Ronald K. Fried; "Third Man in the Ring by Ruby Goldstein; "In the Corner" by Dave Anderson; and, "My View from the Corner" by Angelo Dundee. ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
