Boxing rope a dope?

Question

can some1 teach me how to do da rope a dope

Answer 1

bad choice of boxing style.. too dangerous

Answer 2

Sure. Just lean back on the ropes and let your opponent beat the **** outta u for a few rounds. He'll punch himself out, then you go in for the kill! If u can take a beating for 2-3 rounds I'd say go for it! If u really wanna see how it's done, watch the Rumble In The Jungle 1974 fight w/ Ali vs. Foreman. You'll learn quick!

Answer 3

no! it's not for everybody. judges don't like it and you could get hurt.

Answer 4

Honestly I wouldn't reccomend it. You can never be sure how much beating you can take and if you aren't able to score the KO you're way behind on Points plus judges hate this.

Answer 5

it is usually not a good strategy as most boxers cannot handle this type of punishment. Ali was able to condition his body to take this and so it worked for him. It will not work for most people and it not working for you isn't a bad thing. it is much more effective to not get hit. It consists of leaning on the ropes protecting your head and allowing the other person to attack you body until they tire out from hiting on you

Answer 6

Why would you want to do it?  Just be slick, move around a whole lot in the middle of the ring, and let your opponent wear himself out punching the air instead of you.  It has the same effect of getting him tired, and you don't have to absorb the punishment.
