Reseña del editor:

Two combatants, one ring, and a battle governed as much by determination and drive as by rules and referees. "Perfect in Their Art" spans the millennia to present more than one hundred of the finest pugilistic poems celebrating boxing's literary, historical and cultural heritage.
