Anyone know if they are any good?

Never read either of them, but Box Like The Pro's by Joe Frazier is worth your cash.

I would recommend you to watch fights instead.. boxing cannot be learned by books IMO..

nope. i have my trainer and i watch boxing. no need to waste time reading books.. i learn techniques by 'doing' it

[Aplin]

guys, guys, I of course box a lot in the gym (5 days a week) and I watch boxing as much as it is on ;)

But I also like reading, so was just wondering if anyone knew about these books. I think a lot can be learnt from reading in regards to advising new things to work on in the gym.

go to a gym, best way to learn

or go to the street and fight

[Aplin]

lol, been to a gym, been training a good few years now, go to the gym 5 times a week... But I like to read and books about boxing are therefore an obvious choice.

Check YouTube for Kenny Weldon's Galana Park boxing instruction videos.

BY FAR the best I've ever seen.

Learn boxing by doing not by books. Go to a gym and practice boxing or watch boxing videos and practice it with somebody.

I got Joe Fraziers book, and I think it ok. The boxers workout is ok as well but its more based on the workout that the boxing itself. Lol don't you love asking a specific question just to get everyone sticking thier opinions in without even acknowledging the question? "how should i lean back from punches?" "UR not MuhAmed aLi, gO to A gyM and gEt a TraIner!!!!1!1!

Yeah, people don't read the thread properly :(

[1Kolijn]

I know this thread is old but I have to write something because it seems people got me wrong here.. what I meant was off course that I think you can learn more from watching fights than reading books WHEN YOU'RE NOT TRAINING which I took for granted APLIN does!

Own the first book, it is by far the most useful book on boxing technique/training I have read.

It's not complete by any means, but reading it along with listening to coaches and training you will likely pickup plenty of useful information.

Ordered the first book :)

[twoohands]

the best book you will get on boxing technique and skill is jack dempseys championship fighting, very expensive to buy. you can download it. google it. Another book i have which i pretty good is BOXING from the barnes sports library writen by edwin l haislet. IMO 2 of the best books out there for technique defence punches and all the rest
