The One-Two Punch
令人熱血沸騰的拳擊運動
Boxing has been around for ages, but the sport took a big turn in the late 1800s. It went from bare-knuckle fights to gloved events. That was also when James L. Sullivan became a household name and a boxing hero. He was the first US sports millionaire and won almost every match in his entire career. Moving ahead in time, Joe Louis is a boxing legend still commonly talked about today. In a time of segregation, Louis was loved by both black and white fans. He helped fight against the color barrier and won the heavyweight title in 1937. He holds the record for successfully defending the title 25 times.
中譯
拳擊已行之有年，但在十九世紀末期則有了重大的轉變。它從赤手空拳的戰鬥轉變成需要戴著拳擊手套的賽事。詹姆斯•蘇利文也在這段期間成為一位家喻戶曉的拳擊英雄。他是美國體壇中第一位百萬富翁，而且在其一生的拳擊生涯中，他幾乎每戰必勝。而在早年，喬•路易斯也是一位至今仍為人津津樂道的拳界傳奇。在種族隔離期間，無論白人或黑人粉絲，都很喜歡喬•路易斯。他幫忙對抗種族間的隔閡，並在1937年贏得重量級拳擊手的頭銜。他衛冕成功二十五次，至今仍保持這項紀錄。
