Featuring exclusive interviews with Mannion, this book provides an inside perspective on his boxing career, 1980s Boston, and his present search for purpose outside the ring. In 1977, looking to fulfill a dream as a pro boxer, 17-year-old Seán Mannion flew into Boston from Ireland, straight into a world of gun smugglers, drug dealers, and the world’s best boxers. By 1983, Mannion was ranked the number one US light middleweight boxer. In The Man Who Was Never Knocked Down: The Life of Boxer Seán Mannion, Rónán Mac Con Iomaire recounts Mannion’s struggles and triumphs in and out of the ring. Despite dubious management and the attention of the Boston Irish Mafia, Mannion quickly climbed his way up from the lower rungs of one of the most competitive weight divisions in boxing history. This biography is more than a boxing story; it’s a personal story that also intersects with notorious crime figures, world-class fighters, and several pivotal moments in history. Featuring the likes of Micky Ward, Pat Nee, Marty Walsh, and Kevin Cullen, The Man Who Was Never Knocked Down is provides an inside perspective on the boxer, the fighting culture of his era, and on 1980s South Boston.

Book excerpt: In a world which tends to reinforce conformity rather than being different, the story of Brody the Boxer AKA Hollywood teaches children that it's OK to be different, important to be kind and that there are solutions to challenges. Brody the Boxer was adopted by a kind man named Richard when he was just 6 weeks old. He has led the typical life of a family pet in some ways, but in other ways he has also had more interesting types of adventures and outings than some other dogs. Brody is a very popular dog, and much more well known around his hometown than a lot of other dogs. Not only is he famous on Facebook, but he has proven, thanks to the kindness of others that there are ways to deal with unexpected challenges....like his Degenerative Myelopathy. Brody's back legs no longer work, but with his own special doggy wheelchair and roller skates, he still gets to enjoy all the same kinds of things he did before he developed this disease. Brody is a very special dog who wins the hearts of children, adults and other dogs as well. Children may be surprised by some of the things they learn about him in this introductory book. Like that he got married or likes to help with the grocery shopping.We hope that meeting Brody and following his adventures will teach children that it's OK to be different and that we should accept and be respectful of individual differences - knowing that deep down inside - we're really all the same.
