Welcome to Spotlight Advanced.

And I'm Patrick Woodward.
4
Spotlight uses a special English method of broadcasting.
5
It is easier for people to understand no matter where in the world they live.
6
Jerry Eisenberg, a reporter who covered the fight called The Thrilla in Manila,
7
later wrote, What it came down to was not the heavyweight championship of the world.
8
They were fighting for something more important than that.
9
They were fighting for the championship of each other.
10
I have never witnessed anything like it.
11
Both fighters won that night, and both fighters lost.
12
Eisenberg was talking about Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier.
13
The thriller in Manila was the third time they boxed for the heavyweight championship of the world.
14
By this time, they hated each other.
15
They insulted each other.
16
There was too much to forgive.
17
Ali and Frazier were the two best fighters of their generation.
18
They each won one of their first two fights.
19
The thriller in Manila was the final time they fought.
20
It was their last chance to be remembered as the better fighter.
21
Each was prepared to fight to the death, and they almost did.
22
Today's Spotlight looks at the competitive relationship between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier.
23
Boxing is a sport where two people wearing padded gloves on their hands try to punch each other while defending themselves.
24
Boxing is different from kickboxing because boxers are not allowed to kick each other.
25
They also cannot use their knees or elbows to strike.
26
Each round of boxing lasts three minutes.
27
The fighters get one minute of rest between each round.
28
In championship fights, there are 12 rounds, unless one of the fighters cannot continue.
29
Until 1982, championship fights were 15 rounds, but they were shortened due to health concerns.
30
Ali and Frasier boxed in the heavyweight group in the World Boxing Association during the 1960s and 1970s.
31
Muhammad Ali was named Cassius Clay before he changed his name when he joined the Nation of Islam in 1964.
32
Elijah Muhammad was the leader of the Nation of Islam.
33
He gave Ali his new name because Muhammad wanted Ali to promote and support the Nation of Islam.
34
He also felt Ali needed a new name to symbolize his freedom in Islam.
35
Ali was a young, talented boxer during the early 1960s.
36
But Sonny Liston was the heavyweight champion of the world.
37
Many people did not think anyone could beat Liston.
38
He was too strong.
39
People were frightened of him.
40
But Ali defeated Liston to become the heavyweight champion of the world.
41
Ali was only 22.
42
Ali even defeated Liston a second time.
43
Ali successfully defended his heavyweight championship title nine times.
44
But then he refused to join the United States Army to fight in the Vietnam War because of his religious beliefs.
45
Ali said, I am not going 10,000 miles from home to help murder and burn another poor nation,
46
simply to continue the domination of white slave masters of the darker people the world over.
47
Ali's refusal to serve in the army made him a hero of the black civil rights movement.
48
but it also made him unpopular with others who said he was not supporting his country.
49
A federal court found Ali guilty and convicted him of refusing to join the army.
50
The World Boxing Association stopped Ali from boxing for three years and took away his title of heavyweight champion.
51
Ali appealed his conviction.
52
He often spoke publicly against the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War.
53
The Supreme Court finally withdrew his conviction three years later.
54
Ali was allowed to start boxing again.
55
While Ali was banned from boxing, another fighter named Joe Frazier became a heavyweight champion.
56
Frazier's fighting style was different from Ali's.
57
Frazier was 182 centimeters tall.
58
Ali was 191cm tall.
59

60
He moved quickly around the boxing ring.
61
Frazier liked to get close to his opponents.
62
He used continuous pressure.
63
He was good at a fighting method called bobbing and weaving.
64
Bobbing and weaving was a way of defending himself by constantly bending his knees to lower his body
65
and moving his head from side to side.
66
Frazier also hit powerfully with his left hand.
67
This was called his left hook.
68
Frazier had one of the greatest left hooks in boxing history.
69
Frazier was strong and could take a lot of punishment.
70
In 1971, Ali fought Frazier for the first time.
71
Frazier was the heavyweight champion.
72
Ali wanted to win back the title that he felt had been unfairly taken from him.
73
The fight was called the Fight of the Century.
74
Frazier had fought professionally 26 times without losing.
75
Ali had fought professionally 31 times without losing.
76
It was the first time that two undefeated heavyweight champions fought each other for that title.
77
Even people who were not boxing fans were interested in watching the fight.
78
Ali had become a symbol of the anti-war movement.
79
People who were against the Vietnam War supported Ali.
80
Frazier supported the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War.
81
Others liked Frasier because they thought he represented their values.
82
Before their fight, Ali made many negative comments about Frasier to reporters.
83
He suggested that Frasier was being used by the United States government to promote their own interests.
84
Ali said, Joe Frazier works for the enemy.
85
Ali also said about Frazier, He is too ugly to be champion.
86
Ali's comments deeply hurt Frazier.
87
While Ali had been banned from boxing for three years, Frazier had loaned him money.
88
Frazier felt Ali had been treated unjustly and wanted to help him.
89
Also, Frazier grew up poor in rural Alabama.
90
He had been the victim of racism during his youth.
91
He wanted equality and justice for African Americans.
92
Frasier felt he could relate more to the struggle of African Americans than Ali, who had experienced a much easier childhood.
93
Frasier felt that Ali was disloyal.
94
Frasier said, Ali thought that would weaken me when it came time to face him in that ring.
95
Well, he was wrong.
96
It did not weaken me,
97
it awakened me." The fight of the century was watched in 50 countries by 300 million people.
98
This was a record at the time.
99
Ali was winning in the first five rounds.
100
He hit Frasier many times.
101
But Frasier slowly gained momentum.
102
He landed many punches on Ali's body.
103
Ali got tired.
104
Frasier bobbed and weaved to avoid Ali's punches.
105
Frasier's punches started hurting Ali.
106
In the 15th and final round, Frasier hit Ali on the chin with a perfect left hook.
107
Ali fell hard to the mat.
108
Ali managed to get up and finish the fight, but the three judges all voted for Frasier as the winner.
109
Three years later, Ali and Frazier fought again.
110
This time, Ali won the judge's decision and was named the winner.
111
Their third and final fight was held in 1975 in Manila, the capital of the Philippines.
112
It was over 40 degrees Celsius and very humid.
113
The air at the ringside was hot and thick.
114
Ali was now 33 years old, and Frazier was 31.
115
Each man entered the ring knowing they would never fight each other again.
116
They also understood it would take whatever skills and strength they had to win.
117
Ali later said that he and Frazier went to Manila as champions and came back as old men.
118
The fight followed a similar pattern to their first match.
119
Ali controlled things for the first few rounds.
120
Then Frazier fought back and gained control.
121
He punished Ali with body blows.
122
By the 11th round, Ali was exhausted.
123
He almost gave up and quit.
124
But Frazier was hurt too.
125
By the start of the 14th round, Frazier's right eye was swollen shut and he could barely see out of his left eye.
126
Before the 15th and final round, Frazier's trainer, Eddie Futch, looked at the worsening condition of Frazier's eyes.
127
Futch did not want his fighter and friend to go blind.
128
He decided to stop the fight.
129
Frazier yelled, No, no, no, you cannot do that to me!
130
Futch told Frazier, Sit down son, it is over.
131
No one will forget what you did here today.
132
Fuch and Frazier had no idea that when they decided to stop fighting, Ali made the same decision.
133
Ali told his trainer, Angelo Dundee, to remove his boxing gloves before the final round.
134
He was done.
135
He could not take any more punches.
136
After the fight, Ali said it was the closest thing to dying he had ever experienced.
137
But Dundee refused to let him quit.
138
Ali beat Frazier for the second time and is remembered as the greatest boxer ever.
139
Over the next few years, both Ali and Frazier continued to fight.
140
But neither was ever as great as they were against each other.
141
For many years, Frazier refused to forgive Ali for his hurtful comments.
142
Ali finally apologized in an interview for offending Frazier, but Frazier had difficulty forgiving Ali completely.
143
Even after Ali was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease,
144
a brain disorder that causes involuntary shaking and several mental issues, Frazier remained angry.
145
The pain was too deep.
146
Perhaps the most meaningful apology Ali ever offered Frazier was when he made this statement to a reporter.
147
If God ever calls me to a holy war, I want Joe Frazier fighting beside me.
148

इस वीडियो से अभ्यास कैसे करें
- पहले बिना बोले पूरा वीडियो एक बार सुनें और जो शब्द नहीं आते उन्हें लिख लें।
- सामान्य गति पर एक-एक वाक्य की शैडोइंग करें और हर वाक्य तब तक दोहराएँ जब तक आपकी लय वक्ता से न मिल जाए।
- अपनी आवाज़ रिकॉर्ड करें और मूल से तुलना करें, ख़ासकर weave, glove, trainer जैसे शब्दों पर ध्यान दें।
शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
