Summary:

In My View from the Corner, legendary boxing trainer Angelo Dundee delivers an enthralling, streetwise account of a life spent sculpting men into world champions and vividly depicts his involvement in some of the sport's most thrilling and controversial moments. Inside and outside the ropes, Dundee has crossed paths with an unforgettable parade of personalities. He spins at least one great yarn for every champion, contender, promoter, mobster, and manager he encountered-many of them never before published or even revealed. Always entertaining, sometimes poignant, and occasionally hilarious, My View from the Corner packs the wallop you would expect from a heavyweight like Dundee.
