The lion lacks a can opener.
But the setting was a fight to death, therefore we have to assume that the lion actually wants to kill, not just eat.
So the lion strikes once, and the knight goes down immediately from the blow. Then it's over because of the immobility caused by the full armor.
You can absolutely get back up while wearing a suit of armour.
Yes, but only like an old man. Not like fighter who survives.
Contrary to popular belief, a set of full plate does not slow you down or limit your mobility at all. If it did it would not have been so widely adopted.
I don't know your physical shape.
It would slow me down terribly.
Well the post says "knight in full armor," implying a person in good shape.
It's a reasonable assumption but there was a... French? king who survived a battlefield gut wound because the knife stuck in his stomach to the hilt didn't make it through the fat.
Knights were nobility by definition, and it was precisely as plate became a reality that conditioning standards were dropping.
Of course they also brings up that what a "knights full armor" is varies widely by time and place
