Reviews for Damage: The Untold Story of Brain Trauma in Boxing

Anyone who loves boxing--even the sport's most die-hard supporters--must take a longer and more serious look at the issues that Tris Dixon writes about with such nuance and humanity in Damage. Having covered the NFL for two decades, I've seen increasing awareness of traumatic brain injuries. We need the same in boxing, for the fighters and their families, and there's no better argument for more studies, discussion, and awareness than this book, a volume equal parts heartbreaking and inspiring with respect to the need for change. --Greg Bishop, Senior Writer, Sports Illustrated
