The phrase "defeat about" does not make sense in English.
It is grammatically incorrect and would not be used in written English. Instead, we would use the phrase "defeat in" or "defeat of" to indicate the subject or object of the defeat. For example: - The team suffered a defeat in their final game of the season. - Their defeat of the reigning champions was a shock to everyone. - The candidate's defeat by a large margin was unexpected. Using "defeat about" in any of these sentences would be incorrect.
