Book Synopsis



Most know Marvelous Marvin
Hagler from his epic battles against Thomas Hearns and John Mugabi and his
controversial split-decision loss to Sugar Ray Leonard. But it is his escape
from riot-torn Newark in the late 1960s, the unbreakable bond he built with the
Petronelli brothers, and his 1980 title fight against Britain's Alan
Minter--with its deep racial animus--that tells the real story of Hagler.

In Blood
& Hate
, New York Times bestselling author Dave Wedge tells the riveting
and inspirational tale of how Hagler overcame incredible odds, joined with
Goody and Pat Petronelli to rise through the rigged ranks, and morphed from a
fatherless teenager in Brockton, Massachusetts, into Marvelous Marvin Hagler,
one of the best boxers ever and arguably the greatest middleweight in history.

Through exclusive interviews with Bob Arum, the
Petronelli and Hagler families, and a who's who of the boxing world, Blood & Hate reveals fascinating details about Hagler's early
life as well as the legendary Minter fight, and once and for all delivers the
definitive chronicle of Marvelous Marvin Hagler.
