FTB,

Its the ol' Muhammad Ali "rope-a-dope" tactic against George Foreman. We go into STL (ropes) with WN, while only distracting them long enough for us to build up LGA, all the while tiring them with their build-up and competition in STL.

Brilliant analysis also NU.

P.S. Extracted from Wiki - "In competitive situations other than boxing, rope-a-dope is used to describe strategies in which one partly purposely puts itself in what appears to be a losing position, attempting thereby to become the eventual victor."
