The lion was 35 pound juvenile. Most people could have fought off such a LITTLE puddy cat...

''A tough guy did what he had to do.''

Let's add this. Runner is not a tough guy, he admitted he wasn't tough. 150 lbs and 5'10'' or so, he fought to the death. It helped that it was not a full grown cat. That would have been a different outcome.
