L21-1：DanielMendoza

Boxing matcheswere very popular in England two hundred years ago. In those days, boxers foughtwith bare fists for prize money. Because of this, they were known as'prizefighters'. However, boxing was very crude, for these were no rules and aprizefighter could be seriously injured or even killed during a match. One ofthe most

colorful figuresin boxing history was Daniel Mendoza, who was born in 1764. The use of gloveswas not introduced until 1860, when the Marquis of Queensberry drew up thefirst set of rules. Though he was technically a prizefighter, Mendoza did muchto change crude prizefighting into a sport, for he brought science to the game.In this day, Mendoza enjoyed tremendous popularity. He was adored by rich andpoor alike.

Mendoza rose tofame swiftly after a boxing match when he was only fourteen years old. Thisattracted the attention of Richard Humphries who was then the most eminentboxer in England. He offered to train Mendoza and his young pupil was quick tolearn. In fact, Mendoza soon became so successful that Humphries turned againsthim.
