Reviews
"Two Ton takes the reader back to an era when a rotund New Jersey barkeep could take on the world's greatest heavyweight and believe in his heart that he could win." The Hartford Courant "If one didn't know any better, they would think that the author actually lived during those times. . . . Monninger glowingly, vividly, and inspiringly recounts that 'a moment, and an era remind us that sometimes it is through effort, exceeding expectations and beating the odds, that people can most enduringly define themselves.' This wonderful book will exceed any reader's expectations." The Sweet Science "Spot-on descriptions, deftly drawn characters, sharp insights into human nature, and most of all, a master's sense of plot and structure." The Nashua Telegram "Boxing's battles have occasioned some of the best writing any sport has ever inspired. Two Ton stands beside the work of such masters as W.C. Heinz on the shelf devoted to the most dangerous of games." Bill Littlefield, host, NPR's Only a Game, "Boxing's battles have occasioned some of the best writing any sport has ever inspired. "Two Ton" stands beside the work of such masters as W.C. Heinz on the shelf devoted to the most dangerous of games." -- Bill Littlefield, host, NPR's" Only a Game" A championship match-up between Italian-American boxer Tony Galento and legend Joe Louis is the focus here, but also the lens through which this brisk and entertaining history looks at the state of the nation in the 1930s.... Most compelling throughout, however, is Monninger's presentation of the gluttonous, fun-loving Galento... Monninger artfully revives "Two Ton Tony." "-- Kirkus Reviews" Monninger doesn't cast any aspersions on Galento's character. He writes about Louis, Galento, their battle, and the time in which they lived without rancor and with great honesty. If one didn't know any better, they would think that the author actually lived during those times... Monninger glowlingly, vividly, and inspiringly recounts that 'a moment, and an era reminds us that sometimes it is through effort, exceeding expectations and beating the odds, that people can most enduringly define themselves.' For all of two seconds, as Louis lay on the canvas, Galento was, for all intents and purposes, the heavyweight champion of the world. Sadly, he never got the chance to land that second punch. This wonderful book will exceed any reader's expectations. Pulling you in from the first page of the preface, it never stops packing the same wallop that would have been contained in a follow-up left hook by Galento." -- "The Sweet Science" -- "Nashua Telegram" "'Two Ton' takes the reader back to an era when a rotund New Jersey barkeep, who was called 'Two Ton' not for his weight but for the amount of ice he hauled daily by hand, could take on the world's greatest heavyweight and believe in his heart that he could win." --"The Hartford Courant", A championship match-up between Italian-American boxer Tony Galento and legend Joe Louis is the focus here, but also the lens through which this brisk and entertaining history looks at the state of the nation in the 1930s....

Monninger's real achievement is not the tale of the fight itself, but rather of the circumstances that lead up to it, and its explanation of how one chunky, heavyset bartender with a far-from-average left hook could rise to fight for the world championship."
