The Good Son

In the 1980s, Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini wasn't merely the lightweight champ. From the mobbed-up steel city of Youngstown, Ohio, Mancini was cast as the savior of a sport: a righteous kid in a corrupt game, symbolically potent and demographically perfect. He fought for those left behind in busted-out mill towns across America. But most of all, he fought for his father.

Lenny Mancini, the original Boom Boom, as he was called, had been a lightweight contender himself. But the elder Mancini's dream ended on a battlefield in November 1944, when fragments from a German mortar shell nearly killed him. Almost four decades later, Ray promised to win the title his father could not. What came of that vow was a feel-good fable for network television. But it all came apart November 13, 1982, when Mancini's obscure Korean challenger, Duk Koo Kim, went down in the 14th round and never regained consciousness. Three months later, Kim's despondent mother took her own life.

The deaths would haunt Ray and impact his carefully crafted image, suddenly transforming boxing's All-American Boy into a pariah. Now, thirty years after that nationally televised bout, the story's full dimensions are finally uncovered. 'THE GOOD SON' is an intimate history, a saga of fathers and fighters, loss and redemption and finally, forgiveness.
