Publisher's Synopsis
An exploration of L.A. boxer Joey Torrey's chaotic and conflicting life, from his rise from Compton gang leader to Olympic hopeful to his drug and corruption riddled fall into a maximum security cell. In the late 70s, Joey Torrey was a young boxer skyrocketing towards the Olympics until he was convicted of murdering his manager. He has spent most of the last 30 years in prison, aside from a period where he collaborated with the FBI to clean up boxing. Torrey bares all in this personal memoir where he explains how he has been manipulated by managers and bamboozled by the FBI.
