My View From the Corner: By Angelo Dundee with Burt Randolph Sugar
Review By Benny Henderson Jr (Dec 19, 2007) Doghouse Boxing 
Hall of Fame trainer Angelo Dundee has fifty years of boxing history coursing through his veins, fifteen world champions and countless contenders under his belt, and an endless mind full of some of the greatest boxing stories told and untold. Now with the help from world renowned boxing historian/writer Burt Sugar, the readers can climb inside the psyche of Dundee as he chronicles a half a century of his life in the ‘sweet science’.

Together Dundee and Sugar tell a tale of the life and times working the corner with some of the biggest names in boxing
history, from the early days of the first televised bouts to some of the biggest boxing spectacles of today. From spit in a bucket, blood on a towel and all the smelling sauce you can handle the two recant the life of Dundee in and out of the corner.

Dundee’s twenty plus years with Muhammad Ali, the controversial decision between Leonard vs. Hagler, and the old man George Foreman making history by stopping Michael Moorer to become the oldest heavyweight champion, along with so much more entertaining and colorful insights throughout the life of Dundee are in this book.

My view from the Corner gives the readers a ringside seat as Dundee recalls some of his most memorable as well as controversial moments throughout boxing history. The legend himself gives a first hand account of his career that molded him into a trainer of champions.

I myself have reviewed books now and again; honestly most have been worthy of praise while some fell short of the goal of entertainment and keeping my attention, but in reading this book for review I was caught up in the moment
and at times actually felt as if I were in the room seeing history in the making. I honestly enjoyed the stories and to anyone who is a boxing fan I will say that there is so much more in the book that will captivate you while reading it…so get this book!

I would like to thank McGraw-Hill for allowing me to review “My View from the Corner”. For info on book purchase check out http://www.amazon.com/My-View-Corner-Angelo-Dundee/dp/007147739X.
