Cinderella Man

On the ring, there's this championship match Both craving for applause and the title He is on his 30's while he on his 20's The crowd stands still and then they roar Standing and cheering for their bet With a swift uppercut and jab... Punches from left to right.. His foot circling round the arena.. Defending their goals and their lives.. The underdog played like it's his last So, as to the title - holder playing mad Knock - out, both their aiming at Thus, they giving all what they got The audience hot on their own seats So, as the boxers tight fist on the ring Sweats and blood running unstoppable Energy on fifteen rounds, incredible! The underdog, old with arthritic hand Remembering his wins and lost fights His "chance job" on the seventh docks His kids sent to his brother's house Inspiring and motivating, his stand.. Unanimously, he won with a good fight His wife and kids so happy that night by olive_eloi 5:28 pm 03/03/2014 In memorial of James J. Braddock, a well known American boxer noted of his right power punches, a humble inspiration man on 1930's.. ----------------------------
