Glen Sharp is an analyst and editor at the California Energy Commission and lives in West Sacramento.
"a particularly good book...an engaging primer on boxing
fundamentals. Sharp is better than a pretty good storyteller. He's
first rate."--The Sweet Science
"[Sharp's] analysis of how fighters move, punch, and defend is some
of the keenest and clearest ever written. Yet thanks to Sharp's
elegant and conversational style, and his ability to tell the main
story in tandem with a searching examination of his own character
and experiences, the scope of his book extends far beyond rings and
gyms... A humble and candid narrator whose wry wit lightens a
serious tale, Sharp probes for insight on every page. Time and
again, he surprises the reader by following seemingly mundane
observations to a deeper core...Punching from the
Shadows...deserves to take its place as a classic of boxing
literature" --The American Conservative.
"A fast paced book that gives the reader much insight into what it
takes to become a fighter. Sharp gives us an honest telling of his
life in boxing...a terrific chronicle of what boxing was and should
be. I can't think of another boxing book out there that gives such
an inside look at what it was like to pursue the dream of boxing n
the way Glen Sharp did. It is a great read on so many levels. Most
of all, it is a very human story. I doubt there are many who will
not be able to relate to some portions of Sharp's book. I know I
did"--Boxing Over Broadway
