"The Regulation of Boxing: A History and Comparative Analysis of Policies Among States,” by Robert Rodriguez

REGULATING THE SWEET SCIENCE: Robert Rodriguez, associate director of the McNair Scholars Program, has attended hundreds of boxing matches over the years as a reporter, photographer and fan. His new book, “The Regulation of Boxing: A History and Comparative Analysis of Policies Among States,” is the first nationwide study of boxing regulations. The book takes a historical overview, from the earliest attempts at regulating the sport to present-day legislation. The book contains interviews with boxing officials, analysts and boxers and in-depth case studies of Nevada and Kansas, as well as a comparison of Argentina’s centralized regulation system and that of the United States.
