[Klompton]

Hi Guys,

I just wanted to announce that my book on Greb is finally going to be released in June. It is 697 pages, has 553 photos (several of which have never been published), 1308 footnotes, and an appendix that includes Greb's complete record including amateur bouts, professional bouts, service bouts, and exhibitions. It is the most complete fighting record ever published for Greb and records W/L newspaper decisions based on which way the majority of ringside reports voted (no wire reports have been used which should add to the accuracy of the record). Retail Price is going to be either $39.95 or $44.95 depending on whether the book ends up being printed as either a 6x9 or 7x10. It is the culmination of 11 years of work and I really think fans of boxing and history in general will enjoy it. There is a ton of contextual material on Greb's opponents and what was going on in the sport during his career particularly in the middleweight, light heavyweight, and heavyweight divisions. I will post back here again as the release date gets closer.

@Klompton Great to hear. Have waited for years.

Flea please don't make me wait eleven years for your book on Thai fighters

 

[Flea Man]

Flea please don't make me wait eleven years for your book on Thai fighters

I hope not mate! Luckily it doesn't go as far back in time with Klompton's, whilst learning how to read and write Thai is painstaking stuff, and I imagine trawling through archives of foreign language stuff is gonna' be horrible, I'm luckily in the position where I already have addresses and contact details for three of the books subjects already (hopefully a fourth as well)

I'm planning to move there in February '14. Do a year. Come back, write, work for six months. Do another year. Repeat until finished. Gimme' half a decade at most

[PetetheKing]

Terrific. I will read, and then persist to never rate Greb below GOAT status. Congrats

 

[Vano-irons]

Any update on a release date?

 

[Meast]

Been waiting years for this, hope it's coming soon.

Great stuff mate, id buy it, there can never be enough material on Harry Greb and it sounds like you've really done your homework on this one. What a fighter he was, Id pay to see some footage of the great man in action.
