Blood & Hate reads like a thriller: a raw, unflinching saga of survival, betrayal, and the kind of obsession that turns underdogs into kings. Wedge delivers Hagler's story like a haymaker to the jaw-brutal, brilliant, and impossible to forget. - Ben Mezrich, New York Times bestselling author of The Accidental Billionaires, Bringing Down the House, and Dumb Money.
Most know Marvelous Marvin Hagler from his epic battles against Thomas Hearns and John Mugabi and his controversial split-decision loss to Sugar Ray Leonard. But it is his escape from riot-torn Newark in the late 1960s, the unbreakable bond he built with the Petronelli brothers, and his 1980 title fight against Britain's Alan Minter-with its deep racial animus-that captures the real story of Hagler.
In Blood & Hate, New York Times bestselling author Dave Wedge tells the riveting and inspirational tale of how Hagler overcame incredible odds, joined with Goody and Pat Petronelli to rise through the rigged ranks, and morphed from a fatherless teenager in Brockton, Massachusetts, into Marvelous Marvin Hagler, one of the best boxers ever and arguably the greatest middleweight in history.
Through exclusive interviews with Bob Arum, the Petronelli and Hagler families, and a who's who of the boxing world, Blood & Hate reveals fascinating details about Hagler's early life as well as the legendary Minter fight, and once and for all delivers the definitive chronicle of Marvelous Marvin Hagler.
