.<\/span><\/span><\/p>Puede que John Arthur Johnson no les hable mucho a los j\u00f3venes fan\u00e1ticos del boxeo, pero el Gigante de Galveston es una de las figuras m\u00e1s importantes en la historia de este deporte. Constantemente escupido, injustamente condenado y totalmente descartado por la raza blanca, Johnson es el primer campe\u00f3n mundial negro de peso pesado de la historia y sin duda una de las figuras m\u00e1s emblem\u00e1ticas del boxeo y un s\u00edmbolo de la lucha de los negros en Estados Unidos por igualdad con los blancos. <\/p>
Johnson fue uno de los mayores talentos del boxeo de finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX. R\u00e1pidamente gan\u00f3 notoriedad en los c\u00edrculos del boxeo, pero en 1901 termin\u00f3 en prisi\u00f3n por una pelea ilegal contra Joe Chonsky. En la pelea en cuesti\u00f3n, Chonsky noque\u00f3 al Gigante de Galveston en el tercer asalto, y mientras los dos estaban detenidos, la polic\u00eda de Texas organiz\u00f3 peleas ilegales entre los dos. Ambos fueron puestos en libertad posteriormente, y el propio Johnson afirm\u00f3 que fue en prisi\u00f3n donde desarroll\u00f3 sus habilidades box\u00edsticas. \u00c9l demuestra exactamente eso: vence a todos sus oponentes seguidos, alcanza el t\u00edtulo de "de color" en la divisi\u00f3n de peso pesado y su deseo es claro: luchar por el t\u00edtulo mundial de boxeo. Sin embargo, su camino hasta all\u00ed fue muy dif\u00edcil, ya que el entonces campe\u00f3n James Jeffries, representante de la raza blanca, se neg\u00f3 categ\u00f3ricamente a enfrentarlo en el ring. Adem\u00e1s, en 1905 anunci\u00f3 que abandonaba el boxeo y prefer\u00eda retirarse antes que darle una oportunidad a Johnson. <\/p>
Sin embargo, el gigante no dej\u00f3 de so\u00f1ar, y en 1908 hizo un gran pedido para una pelea por el t\u00edtulo, tras noquear al ex campe\u00f3n mundial Bob Fitzsimmons en el segundo asalto. Incluso entonces, sin embargo, no se le dio la oportunidad de ganar el t\u00edtulo, y persigui\u00f3 al entonces campe\u00f3n Tommy Burns por todo el mundo, interrumpiendo sus apariciones en los medios y burl\u00e1ndose de \u00e9l dici\u00e9ndole que le ten\u00eda miedo. Al final, el combate s\u00f3lo lleg\u00f3 cuando le prometieron a Burns 30.000 d\u00f3lares garantizados por subir al ring. El escenario del choque fue el "Estadio de Sydney" en Australia, y el 26 de diciembre de 1908, Johnson tuvo su oportunidad: ganar el t\u00edtulo de peso pesado. <\/p>
Y eso es exactamente lo que hace: Johnson domina el choque de principio a fin. Burns se siente frustrado por los golpes de su oponente, quien tiene una ventaja tan importante que en medio de la pelea levanta los brazos hacia los lados e insta a Burns a golpearlo en el cuerpo con todo el poder que tiene. El campe\u00f3n hace precisamente eso, pero Johnson ni siquiera se mueve. En cambio, volvi\u00f3 a aterrorizar la cabeza del campe\u00f3n y en el asalto 14 la polic\u00eda entr\u00f3 al ring para detener la pelea ya que Burns apenas pod\u00eda mantenerse en pie. El combate se detuvo y Jack Johnson fue nombrado el primer campe\u00f3n mundial de peso pesado de boxeo profesional afroamericano. <\/p>
La noticia de esto lleg\u00f3 a Estados Unidos, provocando disturbios violentos y racistas en decenas de ciudades de todo el pa\u00eds. Sin embargo, la historia se ha reescrito y este es s\u00f3lo el comienzo de la tormentosa vida de Johnson, el hombre que convirti\u00f3 el boxeo en Estados Unidos y se convirti\u00f3 en un s\u00edmbolo de la lucha por la igualdad en Estados Unidos. <\/p>
