Chris Jones did not know what he was getting himself into.
Humorous, infuriating and suspenseful, this is boxing distilled to its essence by sports writing\'s brightest star..
Falling Hard is in equal measure victory and defeat - an intoxicating mix that leaves Jones addicted to boxing\'s special brand of pain.
He gets dressed down by Don King, meets the troubled guy who found Evander Holyfield\'s ear, goes to Muhammed Ali\'s birthday party, and witnesses Naseem Hamed explode while Mike Tyson implodes.
In Falling Hard, Jones proves himself to the latest in a line of lyricists to be drawn into boxing\'s storied corruption plagued world.
Make him stare at violence and dare him not to flinch.
Over the course of the year that followed, the dark trade would creep deeply inside him, set his heart pumping one minute and break it the next.
He found boxing.
He looked for a sport to call his own when he was hired as a rookie reporter. 365 days, 7 fights, 4 Kos, 3 decisions, 2 scandals, 1 missing ear, 1 wild year
