STEP 2 — Storyboard Image Prompt (3x3 Grid)
Create a cinematic 3x3 boxing storyboard poster in a square format.
Scene: a dark packed championship boxing arena at night. A standard ring with blue canvas, white ropes with red and blue covers, dramatic overhead cone spotlights cutting through haze, camera flashes from the crowd, the dark silhouette of thousands of spectators, cornermen in the fighter's corners, a referee in a white shirt.
Main subjects: THE KID (the underdog hero in every panel) — young, lean, 24, short cropped black hair with a fade, thin vertical scar through the left eyebrow, brown skin, emerald-green shorts with gold waistband and gold trim, green-and-gold gloves, white hand wraps, black boots with green laces, small lion tattoo on right shoulder. THE CHAMPION (opponent, panels 4-7 only) — larger, shaved head, thick neck, crimson-red shorts, red-and-black gloves. Same two fighters, consistent in every appearance.
Layout: 9-panel storyboard grid with clean black borders, numbered panels 1 to 9, white handwritten-style action captions under each panel, small grey camera direction notes, yellow/orange impact sound-effect text (CRACK, BOOM), red corner callout text, and a premium footer strip.
Panel sequence:
THE WALKOUT — The Kid walks through a dark arena tunnel toward the ring, hooded in a dark green robe, spotlight on him, crowd silhouettes on either side, slow determined walk, low following camera from behind.
THE STAREDOWN — Both fighters stand centre ring, face to face, the referee between them giving instructions. The Champion towers over The Kid, intimidating. Close two-shot, tension, overhead spotlight.
ROUND ONE — The Champion throws a powerful right hook, The Kid blocks and slips it, sweat flying, fast mid-shot, aggressive motion blur on the punch.
THE KNOCKDOWN — The Champion lands a devastating body shot. The Kid drops to one knee on the blue canvas, glove touching the floor, pain on his face, the referee counting, low angle looking up at The Kid.
THE CORNER — Between rounds: The Kid sits on the stool in his corner, cut above the left eye being tended by his cornerman, sweat pouring, breathing hard, but his eyes are still sharp and determined. Close-up, intimate, warm corner light.
THE COMEBACK — The Kid fires back with a fast left jab followed by a straight right, catching The Champion off guard, The Champion's head snapping back, sweat spraying, aggressive side-on action shot.
THE TURNING POINT — The Kid lands a clean uppercut that buckles The Champion's knees, The Champion stumbling into the ropes, the crowd rising, flashbulbs popping, low dramatic angle.
THE FINAL BELL — Both fighters exchange in the centre, The Kid throwing everything, final bell ringing, the referee stepping in to separate them, wide ring shot, overhead light, crowd on their feet.
THE VICTORY — The Kid drops to his knees in the centre of the ring, arms raised, fists to the sky, eyes closed, tears and sweat, the crowd roaring, spotlight from above like a halo, pure redemption.
Style: ultra-realistic sports cinematography, cinematic storyboard, dramatic contrast lighting, sharp hero detail with aggressive motion blur on punches, sweat and atmosphere, dark arena with spotlight pools, flashbulb pops, premium boxing-film look, clean professional typography.

Negative prompt: the two fighters looking alike, swapped shorts, wrong glove colours, cartoon style, blurry faces, distorted hands, extra fingers, extra arms, MMA octagon instead of boxing ring, bright even lighting, empty arena, low quality, messy text.
