The 5th Street Gym got its start in 1950, when Chris Dundee began promoting big-time boxing at Miami Beach. It quickly became the celebrated University of Boxing, a magnet for a wide range of international celebrities. This book is the first to chronicle the fascinating history of the gym, from one of those who helped shape its legend--Dr. Ferdie Pacheco, the Fight Doctor. Discover the gym's secret history as Pacheco recalls the rise, heyday, and fall of the "sweet science" at Miami Beach. Includes essays and contributions from prominent boxing writers and insiders, as well as never-before-published photographs.
