My guest on this episode is author and editor at Hannibal Boxing.com - Mr. Carlos Acevedo.\xa0 We discuss Carlos\u2019s excellent new book - Sporting Blood - Tales From The Darkside of Boxing \xa0- which goes on sale March 31st.\xa0 We get into a few of the subjects of the book including Sonny Liston, Tony Ayala, and Smokin\u2019 Bert Cooper.\xa0 We also talk about Carlos\u2019s youth in the Bronx and how he came to be interested in the Sweet Science.\xa0 And finally, we get into the good and the bad in today\u2019s boxing scene and how things evolved over time from boxing\u2019s resurgence in the 1970s.\xa0 I really enjoyed the conversation and finally getting Carlos on the podcast.\xa0 Hope you enjoy it too.\n\n\xa0\n\nBest,\n\nKurt
