The Defeated Champion

The stake was powerful
The audience were cheerful
The atmosphere was tight
Both fighters were ready to fight

Leo looked into past glories
So many titles and sweet stories
He became eager and curious
Winning again was damned obvious

He laughed and stepped into the ring
And charged like the Lion King
The fight stay on round upon round
And on the fifth he fell to the ground

He tries to stand but fell again
He struggles and cried in pain
He could not believe he lost the battle
Nor believe someone got the mantle
