	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 rope-a-dope is most famously associated with Muhammad Ali in his October 1974 Rumble in the Jungle match against world heavyweight champion George Foreman in Kinshasa, Zaire. Technique The rope-a-dope is performed by a boxer assuming a protected stance (in Ali's classic pose, pretending to be trapped and lying against the ropes, which allows some of the punch's energy to be absorbed by the ropes' elasticity rather than the boxer's body). 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.

	Rope-a-Dope (Antietam Album) ''Rope-a-Dope'' is an album by the American indie rock band Antietam, released in 1994. It is named for the boxing technique. The band supported the album with a North American tour. Production The album was produced by Lyle Hysen and Antietam. Ira Kaplan contributed to the album's opening track, "Hands Down". ''Rope-a-Dope'' includes a cover of Dead Moon's "Graveyard". Critical reception ''Trouser Press'' thought that "as borne out by songs like the gently psychedelic 'Pine', araKey has settled into a wafting lower register that accentuates the spooky qualities of her voice; she's also found a way to channel some of her manic onstage attack." ''Entertainment Weekly'' deemed "Hands Down" "a wonderfully propulsive, guitar- and organ-driven bucket of noise." ''The Washington Post'' opined that "Key's piercing guitar lines are the group's trademark, yet the gentle, imHarris-sung 'Hardly Believe' has the album's most memorable tune." Greil Marcus, in ''Artforum'', noted that Ke ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
