一、【Text】课文
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 there were no
rules and a prizefighter 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. (暂不提供全部内容)
