剃刀被野兽掰断
德里克.刘易斯曾经是问题少年 打架斗殴入狱 后来遇到贵人乔治.福尔曼开始练拳击后来转打MMA。
When Lewis got out he began an odyssey towards that other kind of cage. While working as a tow-truck driver for AAA to support his child, he boxed. And he showed enough early promise that one of boxing’s most historical figures -- George Foreman -- took him under wing a little bit in Houston. After years of honing his boxing on the streets, there was some much-needed opportunity in his fists.
“George Foreman acts more like my grandfather,” Lewis says. “He and my grandfather act just alike -- they’re both Christian type guys. They try to help everyone. He reminded me of my grandfather when I was just sitting there talking to him.
“But I was training with George at his gym and I had his manager taking me to venues to train, places like Floyd Mayweather’s gym. They wanted me to go into boxing so bad, they had even bought me a car, they wanted to put me up in one of those high-rise apartments downtown Houston right next to Lou Savarese’s gym.”
The car was a Buick. It was the first car that Lewis had ever owned. As much as he wanted to revel in the treatment he was receiving, as much as it validated him and felt like his first form of actual salvation, he couldn’t stop thinking about MMA. That’s where his training blossomed; on the mats of the Silverback Fight Club in Houston.
“I was going to do it, I was going to box, but I had booked a fight, and I just told them to see how my first pro fight was going to go in MMA,” he says. “And it was the next month and I wound up dominating the guy, knocked him out in the second round and I was like, aw, I’m staying with this. I told them I’m okay, I was sticking to MMA, and they wound up taking the car back.” |
