Reviews
A wonderful read.... Truly a "glove affair" with a great sport. -- Marc Ratner, IBHOF inductee and former executive director, Nevada State Athletic Commission
Glove Affair is a must read for every boxing fan . . . Gordon delivers a knockout! -- George Willis, sportswriter/columnist, New York Post
Glove Affair is a hard-hitting, no-punches-pulled look at the sweet science from a guy who has seen every side of the sport. -- Gerry Cooney, former heavyweight contender
Nobody has worn more hats than The Commish.... This book is superlative! -- Michael Woods, editor, NYFights.com and host, "Talk Box" podcast from Everlast
This book is riveting! It brought me back to the Golden Era of boxing. -- Alexis Arguello Jr., producer, CBS Sports
For a lot of us of a certain age, Randy Gordon was a part of our boxing childhood, our gateway drug to the sweet science. And when Randy got us in the door, his continued enthusiasm and knowledge of the sport kept us here. The beautiful thing about this book is that after two decades in the game, I thought I knew it all. Glove Affair reminds me that I don't. But Randy might. -- Thomas Gerbasi, senior editor, BoxingScene.com
From the Foreword: Randy holds nothing back. He didn't as the editor of Ring Magazine, he didn't as the Commissioner of Commissioners, he doesn't as a talk show host on SiriusXM Radio, and he certainly holds nothing back in the pages you are about to read. Both the sport and we, as fans, have been blessed by his presence. -- Tracy Morgan, actor and comedian
