Summary: The Gimp is a Champ in my book!
Review: Boxing historian and white collar tough guy Mike Fitzgerald (Fitzgerald-"The Madison Mauler"-has 1 professional boxing credit to his name and holds the Janesville Chicken Fighting title) has penned a fantastic story about one of boxing's most courageous athletes in "Tale of the Gator." Fitzgerald, who is quickly becoming one of boxing's most authoritative writers with books on Ken Norton, Archie Moore and Earnie Shavers, beautifully recounts the life of Craig "The Gator" Bodzianowski starting with a tough childhood in Chicago. The book then takes the reader through Bodzianowski's climb through the boxing ranks, up to his motorcycle accident where his left leg had to be amputated. Amazingly, Bodzianowski made a miraculous comeback to the ring with a cutting edge prosthetic leg and a world title shot. Bodzianowski is not only a credit to boxing, but has managed to raise the expectations of amputees on how to live a better quality life. This book should serve as an inspiration to all readers, not just boxing buffs.

Summary: The Gimp is a Champ in my book!
Review: Tale of Gator is a must read for all boxing fans and people interested in what the human spirit can endure in it's quest to overcome the greatest of odds. Gator was that special type of person who may have made the greatest comeback in all sports history. Author Mike Fitzgerald has brought the readers a clear account and a very entertaining one that takes us from Gator's childhood to his eventual quest for the coveted Cruiserweight Championship of the World.I throughly enjoyed each chapter of this book because it painted a clear mental picture of his entire life and that is always how I have judged a book. With that said, I would purchase any book by this author because he truly has what it takes to put a good book out and keep a reader not wanting to put it down until he is finished. All the Best, ...
