Trade Review"Cut Time should be read not just by fight aficionados but also by fans of intelligent nonfiction writing.... An absorbing read." - Sports Illustrated "Just when you think it's all been written, a good writer takes a shining new look at an old subject and breathes life into it.... Rotella has preserved the blow-by-blow and the grandeur of another age but has somehow expanded the ring to include his own generation's proclivities and sensibility." - Los Angeles Times "A wonderful book.... Cut Time is aimed at everyone, even readers who can't imagine that they could ever learn anything from men slugging it out in a ring. They can." - Wall Street Journal "Rotella finds in boxing not only entertainment, but worthy and sustaining metaphors for battles outside the ring.... Thoughtful and crafted." - Boston Globe"
