In a chance meeting at a hotel in New York, 49-year-old retired boxer, Sean Robinson, knocks out the current undefeated, undisputed middle weight champion of the world, Mitchell Boyd. Desperate to regain his pride and reputation, Boyd will stop at nothing until Robinson agrees to a televised 'rematch'; even offering Robinson a ten million dollar pay deal. But Boyd has already killed two opponents in the ring. At forty-nine years of age, will Robinson be the third?Novel excerpt Mitchell Boyd was already in a foul mood.

"You get me a boxing match with that fucking prick!" Boyd screamed at his manager. "You get me a match or find another job!"
