Her dad having been a great fighter
Had inspired her sister
She had asked him to make her a great fighter
He said no, but couldn't dismiss her

He finally gave in
He decided if she was going to fight
He would be in her corner
And teach her right


Her debut was tonight
Applause filled the room,
She saw her name in the lights
Her career was about to bloom

She was confident she felt her might
The announcer called her name
Inside her gloves she clenched her fist tight
After tonight it would never be the same

Her sister Alvarado was at ring side
She waved at her and smiled
The waiting was hard to abide
Inside she felt nervous like a child

The bell she heard ring
She jumped up ran to the center
She felt on her face a sting
In her she became a warrior

She threw so many blows
Her opponent was out cold
True talent always shows
Feeling ever so bold

1 minute 50 seconds of round 1
By technical knockout
The announcer said she won
She heard her sister shout

Alvarado was already thinking of her debut
She a teenager would have to wait
Tonight her sister would get her due
But someday Alvarado would realize her fate

Later she would catch some rays
On the beach over looking the dunes
A great fighter she often prays
On most afternoons
