& 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.

But it is his escape from riot-torn Newark in the late 1960s, the unbreakable

Britain's Alan Minter--with its deep racial animus--that captures the real story
of Hagler.In Blood

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.
