Award-winning journalist Bernard Fernandez releases Round 4 of his history-spanning boxing anthology.

Few can match Bernard Fernandez's peerless prose about boxing. He is a master storyteller and a uniquely gifted writer in the mold of A.J. Liebling, the sweet science's greatest scribe. Every page of Bernard's latest anthology, 'Championship Rounds, Round 4, ' sizzles like a Joe Frazier left hook.
