9、了重大贡献。是他把科学 引进了这项运动。门多萨在的全盛时期深受大家欢迎，无论是富人还 是穷人都对他祟拜备至。门多萨在14岁时参加一场拳击赛后一举成名。这引起当时英国拳坛 名将理查德.汉弗莱斯的注意。他主动提出教授门多萨，而年少的门 多萨一学就会。事实上，门多萨不久便名声大振，致使汉弗莱斯与他 反目为敌。两个人争吵不休，显而易见，只有较量一番才能解决问题。 于是两人在斯蒂尔顿设下赛场，厮打了一个小时。公众把大笔赌注下 到了门多萨身上，但他却输了。后来，门多萨与汉弗莱斯再次在拳击 场上较量，门多萨又输了一场。直到1790年他们第3次对垒，门多 萨才终于击败汉弗莱斯，成了全英拳击冠军。同时，他建立了
10、一所拳 击学校，办得很成功，连拜伦勋爵也成了他的学生。门多萨挣来大笔 大笔的钱，一次出场费就多可达100英镑。尽管收入不少，但他挥霍 无度，经常债台高筑。他在被一个叫杰克逊绅士的拳击手击败后很快 被遗忘。他因无力还债而被捕入狱，最后于1836年在贫困中死去。图片生词及短语Lesson 21boxingboksiin.拳击boxerboksan.拳击手barebsa.赤裸的；空荡的prizefighter n.职业拳击手（尤指古时赤手拳击手）crudekru:da.粗野的marquisma:kwisn.侯爵technicallyteknikaliad.严格根据法律意义地sciencesai3ns
