with the guy in the white vs. the thing wearing black!
Going toe to toe they fought. Both focused, determined neither giving an inch.
The crowd, each betting on the win… watched in awe as the fighters traded blow after hammering blow. The thing in black seemed unstoppable and heavily favored to win.
Then the bell rang and the fighters went to their corners. The crowd yelled and screamed but the fighter in white only heard his coach . . .
Trust in me, I’ll give you strength!
Having done all you can, stand!
Don’t be afraid, with me you can do it!
The bell rang again and the fighters came out of their corners. Full of fury the thing in black charged but the fighter in white stood firm and said:
“I can do all things through him who strengthens me…”
The crowd went quiet and seemed to hold their breath as one. It looked like the thing in black was going to destroy the guy in white. Then the guy in white drew back and with all his strength and all his heart and threw one more massive blow straight up and squarely into the thing in blacks chin, knocking the thing in black completely off its feet and dropping it to the mat … defeated.
The crowd gasped and exploded with cheers for the fighter in white who seemingly against all odds had beaten the thing in black
The fighter in white had won!
All the pain, the work and hurt disappeared . . .
He had the victory.
