Manuel González Prada Lima said that the diarists were able to sleep autocratic and wake anarchists. If the writer read the sports following the victory on Saturday Kina Malpartida 20, would not be surprised to see that in the land of a thousand wonders our scribes also neophytes and dawn sleep experts.
now appears that many who yesterday could not tell a straight jab or a hook cross have become the overnight specialists in boxing. I refer specifically to those who have left to talk about a media circus and that's rival Kina was the victim of nothing short of an ambush where everything was cooked in advance. Unaware
perhaps these enthusiastic about the nature of boxing professional. The trajectory of a boxer is usually almost always short-lived. For a fighter to the end of the race is always just around the corner and that's why managing it requires a combination of experience, tact, shrewdness and professionalism. In this regard, it is essential that a boxer's rivals are carefully chosen before they reach stellar levels or face a top-level fighters. That's why most professional bouts in the world (perhaps up to 90 percent) are what Americans call "mismatches", ie an unequal confrontation where there is a favorite and an underdog or weaker. Translated
the language of football, (whose misfortunes daily benefit these new specialists) Kina Malpartida ask all their defenses in front of the best in the world is like asking the "U" or the classic dispute Alianza Lima all weekends and criticize them for playing against Inti Sport Gas or Huancayo. Invite these critics to review the professional record of the great Muhammad Ali, where you will find that the first defense of his heavyweight title after defeating George Foreman in Zaire was before a package name illustrious Chuck Wepner. O to analyze the record in Sugar Ray Leonard, who won the welterweight title against Puerto Rican virtuoso Wilfred Benitez, just to defend a months later against a Briton named Dave Green. Those who know boxing remember that the greatest virtue of this subject of the crown was to stop the blows of the opponent with the face.
Still, we do Halana Dos Santos is the boxing equivalent of Inti Gas. Is a boxer of some limitations and certainly less than Kina Malpartida, but someone who came to dispute in a dignified way the lightweight world title in Italy, stoically resisting the onslaught of the champion Laura Tavecchio for ten rounds and losing by a narrow margin of points . Do not fall into the error or the meanness of spare praise for our first world boxing champion or how pulverized his opponent in the historic evening Dibós. Do not pollute this magical night with the defects of footballing sports journalism. And remember again the emphatic word of Don Manuel González Prada in his essay on our journalism: "If no crime in renting the pen, so there, who knows more, to disseminate a science that does not possess."
