職業生涯
約翰·L·沙利文 ,職業生涯自1878年至1892年9月7日(參加表演比賽至1905年3月1日),職業戰績是38勝1負2平,其中33場將對手擊倒,實際上的比賽場次要多於兩倍。沙利文是19世紀美國體育界最偉大的英雄人物。作為愛爾蘭移民之子,沙利文以波士頓為中心開始了他的拳擊生涯,他超人的氣勢和壓倒一切的力量使他在拳壇嶄露頭角。
約翰·L·沙利文出生在麻薩諸塞州,父母是麥可·沙利文何凱薩琳·凱利。年輕的沙利文賞金請人和他進行搏擊表演,勝了可以贏走賞金,正因此,他多次因非法鬥毆而被捕。1879年,當他挑戰任何美國打他500美元,沙利文已經贏得了超過450名戰鬥在他的職業生涯。
在1883年 - 1884年沙利文來到一個海岸到海岸旅遊列車與其他五名拳手。據預計,包括超過238天,在136個不同的城市和城鎮的195表演。為了有助於促進旅遊,蘇利文宣布,他將昆斯伯里規則的 250美元下參觀過程中任何人在任何時候框。他在遊覽期間淘汰11個男人。
1882年2月7日,沙利文打敗帕迪·賴恩,獲得世界重量級冠軍,成為現代拳擊進入正規化以來的第一位世界(重量級)拳王;1892年9月7日,輸給詹姆斯·J·科貝特,衛冕失利。
1882年,沙利文僅用了9個回合(即10分30秒內),擊敗世界重量級冠軍帕迪·賴恩,成為新的世界重量級拳壇領袖人物,他因此得到了一條由拳迷捐款製作的鑲有397顆鑽石的冠軍金腰帶。當時,沙利文被認為是徒手拳擊最棒的世界重量級冠軍,他開創了職業拳擊之路,他的進攻和防守都很出色,尤其是他的重拳令許多拳手聞風喪膽。1892年,沙利文與詹姆斯·J·科貝特進行的拳擊史上第一場戴手套的世界重量級拳王爭霸戰,輸給對手,爆出冷門。

歷代世界重量級拳王
拳擊是戴手套進行格鬥的運動項目。它既是一項業餘的,也是一項職業的運動項目。比賽的目標上要比對方獲得更多的分以戰勝對方或者將對方打倒而結束比賽。與此同時比賽者要力圖避開對方的打擊。 |
