Corner Men
The Great Boxing Trainers.
A Boxing Trainer's Journey
To train the greatest, he had to be the greatest. On the streets of South Philly, Angelo Dundee learned what it took to survive—a sense of purpose, a clear head, and sometimes . . . a powerful right uppercut. Boxing was the family business and the ring was his home. A skilled trainer and cut man, Dundee intuitively adapted to whatever his fighter needed, be it doctor, therapist, drillmaster, or friend. With gauze and liniment or a well-timed joke, Dundee knew how to keep his guy in the fight and instill confidence in the bleakest of final rounds. For the boxing legends of our time, including Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard, there was no one else they wanted in their corner.
Legendary Boxing Trainer George Washington
As people of color, we arrived on a nightmare and never stop praying for the dream. George did not fret because of any evildoers neither envious against the workers of iniquities, asking God to give him grace to accept with serenity of the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things that should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other, keeping God first as the head of his life. Showing how the God of his weary years, the God of his silent tears, brought his family thus far. He proudly served his county in World War II and the Korean War, trying to make a difference for his life and his family's lives, always striving for perfection. Kenneth Washington shares his experiences, knowledge, and understanding of being raised by this warrior, trainer, father, mentor, man of God, friend, awesome person, and legend. Legendary Boxing Trainer George Washington is a great read; it will guide you to living life on life's terms and walking by faith not by sight. It takes you from childhood to manhood basic training to basic boxing skills leadership and the dedicated life of Brother George Washington.
