经典-查韦斯-罗萨里奥

埃德温·罗萨里奥很得意。不仅波多黎各战斗机几乎谦卑了赫克托卡马乔,他已经击败Livingstone Bramble为WBA轻量级头衔仅仅一年前。现在,24岁的罗萨里奥在他与备受赞誉但不为人知的胡里奥·凯撒·查韦斯的比赛前夕,在《纽约时报》上得到了一篇广泛的报道。这场比赛是拳击界的盛事,1987年11月21日,在拉斯维加斯希尔顿酒店的户外竞技场,HBO电视台对这场比赛进行了直播。对罗萨里奥来说,这又是一段美好的时光。然而,罗萨里奥正处于残酷而持续的坠落边缘。另一方面,查韦斯正处于商界最著名斗士之一的边缘。
正如《每日新闻》(the Daily News)多年后在2015年回忆的那样:“尽管是WBC羽量级冠军,56胜0负的骄人战绩和九次卫冕,但25岁的查韦斯在他的祖国之外还是个谜——他的大部分比赛都是和他的墨西哥同胞进行的。”“然而,墨西哥以外的人们将会了解到很多关于查韦斯的事情,因为这位从未被打败的战士即将献上他一生的表演。在未来的岁月里,查韦斯还会迎来重大时刻,但没有一个时刻能像这次这样对他的职业生涯产生决定性的影响。
罗萨里奥
从开场铃声开始,很明显拳手罗萨里奥和他的25岁对手在一段艰难的时间里有条不紊。如果说查韦斯是那种能让他的人垮掉的人,那就太轻描淡写了。正如《每日新闻》所言:“这场战斗持续了将近11个回合,而罗萨里奥受到了大部分的惩罚。”这位波多黎各冠军勇敢地战斗,展现了巨大的勇气和精神,但在这一天,他并不是查韦斯的对手。“比赛结束时,罗萨里奥看上去就像只是挨了一顿打,事实上他确实挨了一顿。很少有一场单方面的斗争如此残酷而又如此激烈。
从与罗萨里奥的比赛结束的那一刻起,查韦斯就开始了引人注目的比赛。尽管他的球技最终被削弱,不可避免的输球也来了,查韦斯在数年后以107-6-2的成绩退役,这在今天的拳击安全第一时代几乎是闻所未闻的。查韦斯在战胜罗萨里奥的一年后又赢得了五场比赛,这一事实告诉了我们所有我们需要知道的关于他研究甜食科学的方法。他是一个名副其实的斗士。
Edwin Rosario was riding high. Not only had the Puerto Rican fighter nearly humbled Hector Camacho, he had upset Livingstone Bramble for the WBA lightweight title just a year earlier. Now the twenty four year old Rosario was getting an extensive write up in the New York Times on the eve of his bout against the lauded, but widely unknown, Julio Caesar Chavez. The match was a notable event for boxing, one to be aired live by HBO from the outdoor arena at the Las Vegas Hilton on November 21’st, 1987. Again, it was a good time to be Edwin Rosario. Rosario, however, was on the verge of crashing to earth in brutal, sustained fashion. Chavez, on the other hand, was on the cusp of being one of the most celebrated fighters in the business.
As the Daily News recalled years later, in 2015: “Despite being the reigning WBC featherweight champion with a stellar 56-0 record and nine title defenses, the 25-year-old Chavez was pretty much a mystery outside his homeland — most of his bouts had been against his fellow Mexicans.” People outside Mexico were about to find out quite a lot about Chavez, however, for the undefeated fighter was about to give the performance of his life. There would be big moments for Chavez in the years to come, but none would have the career defining impact for Chavez that this one would.
Rosario
Right from the opening bell to start the fight, it was clear that boxer-puncher Rosario was in for a tough time with his methodical 25 year old opponent. To say Chavez was the type to wear his man down would prove to be something of an understatement. As the Daily News put it: “The fight wore on for nearly 11 punishing rounds — with Rosario receiving most of the punishment. The Puerto Rican champ fought gamely and displayed tremendous heart and spirit, but he was no match for Chavez on this day.” By the time the bout was stopped, Rosario looked like a man who had simply received a beating, which in fact he truly had. Rarely is a one sided fight so grinding yet so violent.
From the moment the bout with Rosario was stopped, Chavez went on a spectacular run in the spotlight. Although his skills eventually wore out and the inevitable loses came, Chavez would retire years later with a record of 107-6-2, virtually unheard of in today’s safety first era of boxing. The fact that Chavez went on to win five more fights the year following his victory over Rosario tells us all we need to know about the man’s approach to the sweet science. He was legitimately a one of a kind fighter.
