Award-winning boxing scribe and CompuBox operator, writer and researcher Lee Groves has recently published his first book, "Tales From the Vault: A Celebration of 100 Boxing Closet Classics."
This 738-page volume relives the exploits of Hall of Famers, champions and contenders as well as undercard fighters that produced singular bolts of destiny. The best brawls, shootouts, grudge matches, upsets, wars of attrition, comebacks, sudden endings and controversies from weight classes ranging from heavyweight to strawweight are relived in this volume of recent boxing history. Not only that, every fight includes official CompuBox statistics. Of the 100 fights profiled, 77 were not previous done by CompuBox because the bouts either aired on rival networks or they pre-dated the company's existence. Therefore, fight stats involving luminaries including Ruben Olivares, Matthew Saad Muhammad, Wilfredo Gomez and 2010 International Boxing Hall of Famers Danny "Little" Red Lopez and Jung Koo Chang will appear for the very first time.
Whether one is a hard-core boxing fan or a casual enthusiast who wants to learn more about the sport's rich history, "Tales From the Vault" offers analysis, vivid detail, information and entertainment value.
