br. Cresciuto nel quartiere più malfamato di Brooklyn e strappato al riformatorio da un coach di origine italiana, Mike Tyson sembrava aver ottenuto il suo riscatto diventando il più giovane campione del mondo dei pesi massimi. Invece i suoi guai cominciavano ora: la condanna per stupro, la detenzione, il morso all'orecchio a Holyfield e la seguente sparatoria che chiudevano nel 1997 la sua carriera. Le droghe e il sesso sfrenato, uniti alla morte accidentale della figlioletta, sembravano spingere il pugile verso un finale di autodistruzione. Invece, incredibilmente, insieme alla pace familiare Tyson ha trovato una via di uscita diventando attore di se stesso. Questo libro racconta la sua parabola sportiva, ma anche il tentativo di un riscatto morale che non sarà mai completo. Per aiutarci a capire la complessità di un uomo che, come dice lui stesso, ogni giorno della sua esistenza si è meravigliato di essere ancora vivo.

ill., br. Il volume presenta un'analisi approfondita delle strategie di combattimento della tradizione siamese (Muay Thai) più avanzate e letali: le Look Mai Muay Thai Boran. Le Look Mai sono le vere "tecniche segrete" che ogni Bramajarn (Gran Maestro) del passato custodiva gelosamente, rivelandole solo ai propri allievi più fedeli. Se le Mae Mai (strategie di base) sono per tutti, le Look Mai sono per gli eletti; se le tecniche fondamentali devono, per loro definizione, poter essere eseguite dopo un lasso di tempo relativamente breve, le Look Mai non sono alla portata del praticante medio. La loro padronanza in realtà contraddistingue il vero fuori classe nell'Arte della Muay tradizionale. Argomenti trattati: i principi che sono alla base delle tecniche più avanzate della Muay Boran, la Fisica della Muay Thai, le chiavi di lettura per svelare il linguaggio criptico delle Look Mai, oltre a un'analisi degli stili tradizionali Muay Chaiya e Muay Korat, alle strategie offensive e l'Arte della difesa, lo studio dei punti vitali, la lotta tradizionale Thai.
ill., br. "Nessun altro pugile, nessun altro sportivo, è riuscito a fondere in modo così indistricabile e al contempo razionale nella propria persona la realtà e il valore simbolico. A differenza di tutti i grandi talenti della boxe che lo avevano preceduto e che gli succederanno (sì, sto pensando proprio a Mike Tyson), Ali ha mantenuto, vuoi per istinto vuoi per intelligenza, il completo controllo sulla propria immagine mediatica. Ogni suo gesto pubblico era studiato per essere interpretato come ideologico, politico, razziale perfettamente collocato nella realtà sociale: la guerra del Vietnam, la lotta per i diritti civili, l'influenza dei media, la scena hiphop e la malattia." (dall'introduzione di Boris Battaglia)
