“In Facing Tyson
Kluck tells [the fighters’] stories with skill, insight, and extraordinary compassion.” |
- Schuler Books |

“Facing Tyson by Ted A. Kluck is subtitled Fifteen Fighters, Fifteen Stories, and there the author lets himself down. There are a lot more than 15 stories, because in each case we get not just the boxer's journey but the tales of those who travelled with him: parents, family, trainers and promoters.” |

“Kluck masterfully weaves profiles of all of these men, adeptly relating all he writes about them to their fight(s) with Tyson. It is no easy task, but Kluck does a commendable job.” |

“Kluck writes with insight about a sport that is often maligned and misunderstood, and finds a way to humanize its warriors.” |

“Kluck presents a raw, vulgar yet consistently riveting look at boxing as seen through the eyes of Tyson’s contemporaries—the effect is fascinating.” |

“What we get are 15 fascinating stories that capture the Tyson era—mainly from the loser’s point of view—far more than any self-serving autobiography could.” |
