From Amazon.com ~ The 69-year-old author wrote this collection of five stories and a novella between gigs tending boxers in their corners as a "cut man" (who stanches the blood flow and allows fights to continue). "The Money Look" is an turning-the-tables yarn at the expense of a cynical crook of a fighter; "Black Jew" is a telling tale of humble ambition woven with the lure of big money. A lacerating account of a courageous, deeply endearing hillbilly woman fighter and her sad fate, "Million $$$ Baby," is the best story in the book. "Fightin' in Philly" is a moving tale of the toll the ambition to be a title fighter takes on a man. Another innocent torn up by the fight game is portrayed in "Frozen Water." The novella, "Rope Burns," is pitting of an Olympic contender against a low-life East Los Angeles gang member at the time of the Rodney King riots.Unfortunately he didn't live to see "Million Dollar Baby" made as a movie.
Definitely a good read if you are into boxing. I'm taking boxing classes so I found it interesting.

Million dollar baby has been observed by the majority of the people for the usefulness for the society. The estimation of the baby has been done for the production of huge chunk of theories and pieces of the ideas for the future schools.
