L21-1:Daniel Mendoza
Boxing matches were very popular in England two hundred years ago.
In those days,
boxers fought with bare fists for prize money.
Because of this,
they were known as 'prizefighters'.
However,
boxing was very crude,
for these were no rules and a prizefighter could be seriously injured or even killed during a match.
One of the most colorful figures in boxing history was Daniel Mendoza,
who was born in 1764.
The use of gloves was not introduced until 1860,
when the Marquis of Queensberry drew up the first set of rules.
Though he was technically a prizefighter,
Mendoza did much to 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 and poor alike.
Mendoza rose to fame swiftly after a boxing match when he was only fourteen years old.
This attracted the attention of Richard Humphries who was then the most eminent boxer in England.
He offered to train Mendoza and his young pupil was quick to learn.
In fact,
Mendoza soon became so successful that Humphries turned against him.
