I struggle with ghost written books. Written in the first person but often using language you know the subject wouldn’t use themselves. Readable enough, but nothing hugely interesting or spectacular in Lee’s particular sporting journey

As a fighter I was never a fan, he was just yet another great white hope for HBO that was spoon fed taxi drivers but each time he stepped up in class he was found out so I'm not sure why I decided to read this book.
But anyway...
When he's describing exactly what's going through his mind during the fights this book is absolutely brilliant but it's let down by the personal stuff which is just generic and boring and then there's the excuses for each loss which are pathetic (especially the JCC jr fight) and made me want to toss the book.
I might have to go and rewatch the first fight with Vera again, I remember laughing my arse off at the time 🤣
