When It Hurts So Bad

"Thomas is a writer with a bright future...His use of dialogue and plot development is superb."

‑ Timothy Smith, Sports Columnist, New York Daily News

With all the drama and passion that have made Thomas Green's stories lovable reads, comes a captivating tale about a heavyweight champ who loved his wife and job more than anything else in the world.

Then he lost both.

The end of all the things RICHARD PRICE loved came about so swiftly and violently that to this day, he can't believe the chain of events that ended his marriage and reign as Boxing's heavyweight champion.

Richard thought he had a cool marriage. Sure they fought/argued, but his wife had just told him she was pregnant and he could actually see a bright future with a child bringing them closer. But the final strain to the paper-thin strings holding their relationship together were severed when a gossip reporter told Shilla that Rich had been seen taking a young woman into an abortion clinic. This was her out, her chance to leave with no guilt.

Rich stepped into the ring the next night and was beaten blind by a bigger and stronger opponent. He left Las Vegas mentally and physically defeated.

Rich understood how difficult and cold the comeback road to getting his wife and belts back was going to be, yet he was determined to be a husband and the heavyweight champion again.
