In "Falling Hard: A Rookie's Year in Boxing," Chris Jones recounts his first year at ringside. He gets dressed down by Don King, gambles his way through Vegas, meets the troubled guy who found Evander Holyfield's ear, goes to Muhammad Ali's birthday party, and witnesses Prince Naseem Hamed explode while Mike Tyson implodes. Like the sport itself, "Falling Hard" is equal measures of victory and defeat -- an intoxicating combination that leaves Jones down for the count more than once.
