The Four-Minute Ambush by John Hollis tells the story of the Caddo Indian boy Mark Adams from his humble beginnings to his quest for boxing’s heavyweight championship of the world. 
Along the way, Adams battles ex-pugs, thugs, Louisiana gangsters, Mexican drug lords, Ozark hillbillies, and a variety of colorful and tough boxers. 
Adams is recruited and trained by the garrulous old Kelly Shaw, an ex-boxer himself who steers Mark through the pitfalls of not only the boxing world, but through the problems faced by a young man growing up in today’s society. Shaw’s family adopts Mark, and together they form a bond too strong too break. 
After years of struggle, Adams seems on the verge of obtaining his dream—heavyweight champion of the world—when a gangster from Kelly Shaw’s past emerges to try and derail Mark’s quest. The exciting conclusion proves to be a matter of extremes—total defeat for one and overwhelming success for the other!
