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 "prize-fighters". However, boxing was very crude, for there were no rules and a prize-fighter could be seriously injured or even killed during a match.One of the most colourful 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 prize-fighter, Mendoza did much to change crude prize-fighting into a sport, for he brought science to the game. In his 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. The two men quarrelled bitterly and it was clear that the argument could only be settled by a fight. A match was held at Stilton where both men fought for an hour. The public bet a great deal of money on Mendoza, but he was defeated. Mendoza met Humphries in the ring on a later occasion and he lost for a second time. It was not until his third match in 1790 that he finally beat Humphries and became Champion of England. Meanwhile, he founded a highly successful Academy and even Lord Byron became one of his pupils. He earned enormous sums of money and was paid as much as £ 100 for a single appearance. Despite this, he was so extravagant that he was always in debt. After he was defeated by a boxer called Gentleman Jackson, he was quickly forgotten. He was sent to prison for failing to pay his debts and died in poverty in 1836.1. Boxing in the 18th century was crude because _____.A. boxers fought with bare fistsB. there were no regulationsC. boxers could be seriously injured or even killed during a matchD. All of the above2. What do you think led to the change of crude prize-fighting into a sport? _____A. Prize money.B. The introduction of science to the game.C. The use of gloves.D. The first set of rules of boxing.3. Why did Mendoza enjoy tremendous popularity in his day? _____A. He had defeated his own coach.B. He was the first to introduce the use of gloves.C. He did much to change prize-fighting into a sport.D. He had drawn up the first set of rules of boxing.4. Mendoza _____ when he was only a teenager.A. was seriously injuredB. enjoyed more popularity than HumphiresC. made a great deal of moneyD. gained fame quickly5. Humphries turned against Mendoza because _____.A. Mendoza refused to be his pupilB. he was jealous of Mendoza's successC. Mendoza rose to fame swiftlyD. Mendoza was quick to learn
