In When in Doubt,
Stop the Bout, renowned boxing historian Mike Silver presents a
shocking expos of the sordid underbelly of professional boxing, and uncovers the
sport's criminally flawed infrastructure and those responsible for it.

From compromised
referees to poorly trained ringside physicians to an insidious cartel of
"sanctioning organizations" approving dangerous mismatches, Silver lays bare the
corruption, the negligence, and the incompetence that has made a dangerous
sport even more dangerous.

But aside from unmasking
the chaotic mess that afflicts boxing, this book for the first time proposes groundbreaking
practical solutions that will mitigate the danger and save lives. Penetrating
and persuasive, When in Doubt, Stop the Bout will change forever how you
see the sport of boxing.

Industry Reviews

Praise for The Arc of Boxing

"Lively . . . Silver explored the magic, studied the history."-Philadelphia Daily News

"If you care about boxing . . . its future, its past, or both . . . then you have to read this book . . . thoroughly researched . . . articulately argued."-Newsday

"True aficionados, whether they ultimately agree with Silver or not, are sure to enjoy his book for its unmistakable knowledge and passion."-The Ring

Praise for The Night the Referee Hit Back

"Mike Silver is the Sugar Ray Robinson of boxing writers-smooth, smart, powerful, and tough to beat. The good news is that you can step in the ring with him and not get hurt."-Jonathan Eig, author of Ali: A Life

"There was a time boxing was the biggest sport was the biggest sport in this country, bigger than baseball. The great historian Mike Silver reminds us why in his latest book, The Night the Referee Hit Back. His stories bob, punch, weave, and bang the body-but this time in a way that can touch your heart without cracking a rib."-Teddy Atlas

"Anyone who comes to me with a boxing question, I reflexively redirect them to Mike Silver, who to my mind is, pound for pound, the greatest authority on the subject. This book is only further evidence of his expertise."-David Margolick, Contributing Editor at Vanity Fair, and author of Beyond Glory: Joe Louis vs. Max Schmeling, and a World on the Brink
