Synopsis
Award-winning sports journalist Roy McHugh covered boxing in Pittsburgh from 1947 until his retirement in 1983. "When Pittsburgh was a Fight Town" combines his memories from his time on the boxing beat with the wonderful stories imparted to him by the numerous fighters he spent time with. Harry Greb, Billy Conn, Fritzie Zivic, Charley Burley, Sammy Angott and Teddy Yarosz are just a small sampling of the numerous greats receiving space in this book; not to mention stories involving many other colorful characters who helped make the local scene what it was during the Golden Age of the sport. You can have no better tour guide through this unique and entertaining world than Roy McHugh, a humble sportswriter who believed that listening was always more important than talking and thus, was able to absorb and retain the startling amount of detailed anecdotal information that he shares in this book.
