This is her third volume, and she has made her subjects (of which I am one) dig deep down to come up with original stories that are bound to inform and entertain the reader. Melanie writes with compassion about the fighters who undertake their brutal trade, and with an uncanny understanding of why they must.”
“Being interviewed by Melanie is like speaking to a friend. We feel safe and secure enough to tell it as it is, because we know our thoughts and feelings are going to be portrayed with the bitter-sweetness that we intended and without being taken out of context.”
“When it comes to boxing, Melanie Lloyd has got years of experience behind her. She’s been involved with the amateurs and the pros, and she knows the game very well. The way she puts things across, she’s very gifted. When Melanie describes a time or a place, it’s like she really takes you there.”
“Boxers are a rare breed. We don’t think straight. It can be life or death in there, with real consequences. We find the courage to step up, overcome our fears and take the risk, and Melanie really gets that. She realises what it’s all about.”
