Scientific Boxing

In 1892, "Gentleman" James J. Corbett defeated John L. Sullivan to become the heavyweight champion of the world, using his "scientific boxing" techniques. Corbett is considered by many to be the "father of modern boxing" for being the first person to apply scientific principles to the art of pugilism. This classic book contains sections on fundamental boxing techniques, proper footwork, fouling techniques, and the various boxing rules of his time.
