Canelo Alveraz vs Caleb Plant

_______________________________
Jab. Jab. Jab.
An underdog's blessed gloves enter battle.
Fighting for the reigning title.
Left. Right. Right. Left.
With a divined dance of the feet,
a silver throne to be his seat.
Upper cut. Liver shot.
Angels swirl around the ring,
an upset soon would be seen.
Mocking tongue. Eyes widen up.
Lightning in veins, thunder in punch,
a young warrior makes his opponent hunch.
Unleased bow... round house.
God nods to the child of the cruel sport,
the young man looks down at the canvas, nothing more to report.
