I FOUGHT THEM ALL: "brilliant"
A fresh review of the Tom Sharkey biography "I Fought Them All" on Cyber Boxing Zone:
This is a fabulous book and a story that needed to be told. Tom Sharkey's bravery is inspirational and should never be forgotten. As a distant cousin of Tom's, I want my children to know that although they may have every resource at their fingertips, in the not too distant past their cousin had to work as a child and struggle to get a basic education. That he went on to accomplish all he did proves how much willpower and heart he possessed. Great job Greg and Moira, and thanks for preserving this history!
