Blood on the Canvas: The Life & Legacy of Boxing Icon, Canto "TNT" Robledo

Memoir about America's first officially licensed, totally blind boxing manager/trainer, Canto "TNT" Robledo, who had been a boxing welterweight champion of the U.S. Pacific Coast and who was a rising star headed for a shot at the world title, before a boxing match injury stole his eyesight and ended his fighting career. Canto, a multiple Hall of Famer, trained over 500 boxers in his backyard gym, the Crown City Boxing Stables, in a 50-year career, leading many of them to championships. An iconic boxing coach, mentor, and humanitarian, he changed the lives of hundreds of families and thousands of young, disadvantaged people in his community. The book is written by his son, who was also a champion boxer in his youth.
