"Terrible Terry" The Brooklyn Terror

The Life And Battles Of Terry McGovern

About this book

Veteran and expert boxing writer Nat Fleischer recounts the career of Terrible Terry McGovern, who dominated the Bantam and Featherweight classes at the turn of the 20th Century. Still regarded as one of the most destructive and effective Bantamweights of all time, a stocky, fast body puncher who won 45 of his fights via knock-out in an age of iron men.
Historian Barry Deskins wrote, "Short blows to the body followed by a viscous straight right is McGovern's strongest asset, particularly his work to the body." Old time fight announcer Joe Humphreys said, Sept 1936 Ring Magazine, "McGovern was a lightning fast feinter and a terrible hitter. He was a great body puncher, an art that seems to be lost to the present generation."
"Unconquered and unconquerable Terry McGovern, the Brooklyn whirlwind fighter, stands today without a peer in the pugilistic world"-National Police Gazette after McGovern's win over Erne.
