Springs Toledo’s IN THE CHEAP SEATS Available Now
(Tora, hardcover, 230 pages; $24.99)
Foreword by Jim Lampley
Now available at Amazon and Amazon.co.uk
In his latest collection of award-winning boxing essays, Springs Toledo takes a hard look at the hardest game from a seat next to yours. Where the widely-acclaimed THE GODS OF WAR (Tora, 2014) zoomed in at the greatness of the golden era, IN THE CHEAP SEATS zooms out for a panoramic view of the wild world of boxing: the true champions and contenders, the stumblebums trying to make a buck inside of six rounds, the fans who swear by it and sometimes swear at it, and the rich assortment of characters that inevitably gather around the ring. Whether you’re a purist or a critic, a casual fan or a toe dipper, Toledo proves to be the perfect companion at the fights.
“Author Springs Toledo is brilliant. Change that. He is an absolute genius. He is Rembrandt with the written word.” —RANDY GORDON, former editor-in-chief of THE RING magazine, TV commentator, and New York State Athletic Commissioner; host of Sirius XM's “At The Fights.”
