When in Doubt, Stop the Bout

In When in Doubt,
Stop the Bout, renowned boxing historian Mike Silver presents a
shocking exposé of the sordid underbelly of professional boxing, and uncovers the
sport's criminally flawed infrastructure and those responsible for it. From compromised
referees to poorly trained ringside physicians to an insidious cartel of
"sanctioning organizations" approving dangerous mismatches, Silver lays bare the
corruption, the negligence, and the incompetence that has made a dangerous
sport even more dangerous.
But aside from unmasking
the chaotic mess that afflicts boxing, this book for the first time proposes groundbreaking
practical solutions that will mitigate the danger and save lives. Penetrating
and persuasive, When in Doubt, Stop the Bout will change forever how you
see the sport of boxing.
