释义
Mendoza, Daniel
British boxer
born July 5, 1764, London, Eng.
died Sept. 3, 1836, London
bareknuckle pugilist, 16th in the succession of English heavyweight champions and the first Jewish champion. He was the first important fighter to combine scientific boxing with rapid, rather than hard, punching—a great change from the mauling style used until his time. Not a very big man (height, 5 ft 7 in 【1.7 m】; weight, 160 lb 【72.5 kg】), he relied on his courage, strong arms, and excellent physical condition as well as on his revolutionary boxing skill.
In 1791, after the retirement of champion Benjamin Brain, Mendoza was acknowledged as champion because of his victories over Richard Humphries, who had been considered the best heavyweight in England. Mendoza defended the title twice successfully before losing to John (“Gentleman”) Jackson (Jackson, John) on April 15, 1795. Subsequently he became proprietor of a public house in the Whitechapel district of London and opened a highly successful school of boxing. His book The Art of Boxing was published in 1789.
