This unique publication offers an educated critique of the British / European style of boxing and showcases the benefits of the 'American School' of the sweet science.

The volume uses rich photography from champions of the day such as Tommy Burns and Billy Wells amongst many others. Sometimes scathing in its criticism of more upright and amateur orientated British and European styles, the guide highlights why at the time, boxers from across the Atlantic were becoming so successful in the professional ranks.

The guide is designed to help boxers better compete by emulating the successful American method which is often done at closer quarters, with greater emphasis on hooks, uppercuts, overhands, clinch work and head-movement.

The pleasing, slick and effective American methods are detailed using a mixture of technical breakdowns, fight analyses and training tips to help better educate boxers on aspects of the American game.
