“The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy's not coming, but on our own readiness to receive him; not on the chance of his not attacking, but rather on the fact that we have made our position unassailable.”
Ring fighting and street fighting require different mindsets, but it's hilarious to think that a fighter entered a ring with a street fighter mindset only to later whine, because they wanted to beat someone into submission and their opponent wasn't obliged to accommodate them.
Just a modern "rope a dope" technique. Someone is working on a way to destroy this technique even as we speak. Every sport goes through a "closing the loopholes" evolution. The slider pitch, NASCAR's entire existence, trap defense in hockey, no huddle offense, etc.
