Comment: I can't decide if this is a notable book or not. See this discussion User talk:JC7V7DC5768#Thank you Legacypac (talk) 19:39, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
Comment: No reliable and independent evidence of notability. The great majority of the sources are very clearly press releases - they use identical wording and the others seem to be providing evidence of the vires of the two authors, not their book. Velella Velella Talk 16:04, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

Non-compromised Pendulum (Russian: Бескомпромиссный маятник) is a book about the fight system of the boxing coach Cus D'Amato, known as a peek-a-boo. The book, written by the Ukranian scientist and martial arts researcher Oleg Maltsev and D'Amato's mentee Tom Patti[1], was published in the English language in 2018 for the public domain as a tribute in the memory of D'Amato.[2][3][4][5]
Tribute
Before the release of the Non-compromised Pendulum, from October 26, 2017 through November 4, 2017, non-commercial project the "Science of Victory" was dedicated to the memory of D'Amato, who trained three world champions – José Torres, Floyd Patterson and Mike Tyson. Boxing historians, journalists and boxers from different countries, including Silvio Branco, Mihail Zavyalov, Patrizio Oliva, Dr. Antonio Graceffo, Avi Nardia, and Gordon Marino shared their opinion about D'Amato and his unique role in the history of boxing.[6][7][8][9]
Reception
The book is available for free in the public domain in the Russian and English languages.[10] Overall Non-compromised Pendulum received favourable reviews from boxing scholars who knew D'Amato himself and/or researched his boxing style.[11][12][13]
A sports psychologist, former boxer and coach Alexander Balykin wrote in his review that the book should be read not only by coaches, but also by the athletes regardless of the sport they are doing. According to Alexander Balykin, the system of Cus D'Amato will be always relevant in all sports. He also notes the philosophical and psychological component in D'Amato’s system. Although, he notes that by reading the “Non-compromised Pendulum” one will not become capable of using D'Amato’s system. For a deeper understanding of Cus’ methodology in practice it is necessary to train with a professional coach and study additional methodological manuals.[14]
Dr. Antonio Graceffo compares the Non-compromised Pendulum with the Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi and with the treatise Art of War by Sun Tzu. Graceffo noted the concept "2 + 3 = 5" and its practical aspects in and out of the ring. The number “2” of the equation means a duel between a coach and student, by means of which the coach gains authority in the eyes of his mentee. Graceffo emphasized that while Cus D’Amato was able to subordinate and “defeat” Mike Tyson, he did not damage his personality. In his words the book is meant to develop a non-compromised approach and mind-set.[15]
NY Fights journalist John Gatling notes that the view of Non-compromised Pendulum is somewhere in the middle between what Muhammed Ali thought of Cus - the devil and what Mike Tyson of him - the God. John considers the book to be an elaborate psychological course into Cus D’Amato’s approach in training and developing a lifestyle of a true champion.[16]
Boxing historian, founder of Boxing Hall of Fame, Inc (Las Vegas, Nevada) Steve Lott reviewed the book stating that the piece is something which was never done in the history of boxing. In his words, Cus would be impressed that the author understood that 80% of boxing was mental and emotional, with the physical being a small part. However at same time Steve notes that the book is way above the level of average boxing readers and the concepts might be too advanced to comprehend.[17]
Martin González a trainer at United States Boxing Association praised the analysis of the technical elements of style and an approach in studying mental processes and psychology. According to Martin Gonzalez, he himself used the style of Cus D'Amato in training boxing fighters.[18]
The president of the National League of Professional Boxing of Ukraine, Mikhail Zavyalov , generally praised the book. However, he is ready to argue with a fragment of the book where it is said that without the instinct of the killer a boxer will not become king in the ring. In contrast, he refers to the current boxers Vasily Lomachenko and Oleksandr Usyk, who in his opinion, do not possess the killer instinct.[19]
Content
The book comprehensively describes D'Amato's system based on two decades long scientific research.[20][21] Authors claim that D'Amato's system is applicable in and out of the ring. Different chapters of the book explain the genius of D'Amato and his psychological, philosophical and methodological approach of bringing up a champion.[13] In the frameworks of the research, the scientific expedition was held to the homeland of D'Amato, Southern Italy.[22][23]
