15、hampion of England in the old bare-knuckle days was one of the dirtiest and most treacherous fighters ever to step into a prize ring. Yet he was se popular that a town, a racehorse and a liqueur were named Bendigo in his honor during his lifetime. Bendigo Thompson was one of triplets born in Notting
16、ham, England, on October 11, 1811. His mother was a coarse and violent woman. However, she was apparently acquainted with the Book of Daniel, for she nicknamed her three sons Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. As a child, the latters name was corrupted to Bendigo. He was raised in the slums. His mother
17、 was the terror of the neighborhood. She cursed like a fishwife and fought like an outraged army.

21、xing, once the “pride and boast of England,“ had come into disrepute. Brutality in the ring had caused an increasing number of deaths among fighters; critics complained the fighters accepted bribes to throw matches. The sport was attracting a great following of hoodlums and cutthroats. As might be e

Bendigos 13th fight took him out of what today would be called the “preliminary boy“- classification. It was in July of 1835. His opponent wa
23、s Ben Caunt. They hated each other on sight. C. aunt was them 22, stood 63“and weighted 210 pounds. Bendigo looked like a pygmy compared with Caunt. As one baffled sports writer of the period wrote. “Bendigo is the favorite at six to four, a state of odds which seems unaccountable when the disparity
