George Bernard Shaw was obsessed with prize-fighting all his life he entered the English Amateur Boxing Association Championship as middleweight and this racy, romantic adventure story superbly evokes the bruised knuckles and raw hopes of the ringside. After pole-axing his mathematics master with a perfect right, Cashel Byron, the unloved son of a successful actress, runs away to Australia. He returns, and becomes the most famous fighter of his age, only to be floored by the lovely and impossible Lydia Carew.
