Rope-a-dope
The rope-a-dope is a boxing fighting technique in which one contender leans against the ropes of the boxing ring and draws non-injuring offensive punches, letting the opponent tire themselves out. This gives the former the opportunity to then execute devastating offensive punches to help them win.

The boxer keeps their guard up and is prepared for the incoming blows while looking for opportunities to counter punch their opponent, who by mounting an offensive may have left themselves open to counters. By being in a defensive posture and b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
