基本演绎法第二季Who Killed Benny Paret?
圣诞老人的名字Sometime about 1935 or 1936 I had an interview with Mike Jacobs, the prizefight promoter.I was a fledgling newspaper reporter at that time;my beat was education, but during the vacation ason I found mylf on varied assignments, all the way from ship news to sports reporting.In this way I found mylf sitting opposite the most powerful figure in the boxing world.There was nothing spectacular in Mr.Jacobs’ manner or appearance;but when he spoke about prizefights, he was no longer a bland little man but a colossus who sounded the way Napoleon must have sounded when he reviewed a battle.You knew you were listening to Number One.His saying something made it true.We discusd what to him was the only important element in successful promoting —how to plea the crowd.So far as he was concerned, there was no mystery to it.You put killers in the ring and the people filled your arena.You hire boxing artists — men who are adroit at feinting, parrying, weaving, jabb
ing, and dancing, but who don’t pack dynamite in their fists — and you wind up counting your empty ats.So you arched for the killers and sluggers and maulers — fellows who could hit with the force of a baball bat.I asked Mr.Jacobs if he was speaking literally when he said people came out to e the killer.“They don’t come out to e a tea party,” he said evenly.“They come out to e the knockout.They come out to e a man hurt.If they think anything el, they’re kidding themlves.”
Recently a young man by the name of Benny Paret was killed in the ring.The killing was en by millions;it was on television.In the twelfth round he was hit hard in the head veral times, went down, was counted out, and never came out of the coma.The Paret fight produced a flurry of investigations.Governor Rockefeller was shocked by what happened and appointed a committee to asss the responsibility.The New York State Boxing Commission decided to find out what was wrong.The District Attorney’s office expresd its concern.One question that was solemnly studied in all three probes concerned the action of the referee.Did he act in time to stop the fight? Another question had to do with the role of the examining doctors who certified the physical fitness of the fi
ghters before the bout.Still another question involved Mr.Paret’s manager;did he rush his boy into the fight without adequate time to recuperate from the previous one?

萱萱 bleeding loveIn short, the investigators looked into every possible cau except the real one.Benny Paret was killed becau the human fist delivers enough impact, when directed against the head, to produce a massive hemorrhage in the brain.The human brain is the most delicate and complex mechanism in all creation.It has a lacework of millions of highly fragile nerve connections.Nature attempts to protect this exquisitely intricate machinery by encasing it in a hard shell.Fortunately, the shell is thick enough to withstand a great deal of pounding.Nature, however, can protect man against everything except man himlf.Not every blow to the head will kill a man — but there is always the risk of concussion and damage to the brain.A prizefighter may be able to survive even repeated brain concussions and go on fighting, but the damage to his brain may be permanent.In any event, it is futile to investigate the referee’s role and ek to determine whether he should have intervened to stop the fight earlier.This is not where the primary responsibility lies.The primary responsibility lies with the people who pay to e a man hu
rt.The referee who stops a fight too soon from the crowd’s viewpoint can expect to be booed.The crowd wants the knockout;it wants to e a man stretched out on the canvas.This is the supreme moment in boxing.It is nonn to talk about prizefighting as a test of boxing skills.No crowd was ever brought to its feet screaming and cheering at the sight of two men beautifully dodging and weaving out of each other’s jabs.The time the crowd comes alive is when a man is hit hard over the heart or the head, when his mouthpiece flies out, when blood squirts out of his no or eyes, when he wobbles under the attack and his pursuer continues to smash at him with poleax impact.Don’t blame it on the referee.Don’t even blame it on the fight managers.Put the blame where it belongs — on the prevailing mores that regard prize-fighting as a perfectly proper enterpri and vehicle of entertainment.No one doubts that many people enjoy prizefighting and will miss it if it should be thrown out.And that is precily the point.
