Probably the hope of getting a full turn around and come down with the punch on the chaser. Making use of the slight elasticity of the ropes, and the addition of gravity, to make his punch hit that slightly harder. While also hoping the entire action would throw off the pursuers aim, and earn him "style points" with the crowd... Unfortunately it also means you have absolutely zero footing to actually dodge, or really even block well, should the opponent not have been 'tricked'.
It was a gamble, with minimal success chance, and truthfully very little gained even on a successful connection. (Afterall, he was not going to have the footing to follow up with anything useful should he have made contact and they didnt drop... So he was hoping for a knockout on it... but for the other person rather than the one he got on himself.) But people sometimes do stupid things, doubly so when adrenaline runs high, and triply so when already getting beat around the head a bit...
WWE isn't boxing, it's entertainment. It's like complaining about the Fast and the Furious movies when someone crashes in Nascar. It's not real, and everyone knows that.
Waaaaah people have different tastes waah.

I remember my dad and I going to a Toughman thing locally back in the 80's. Saw one guys tooth fly into the audience. And saw an idiot try to do something like this, to similar effect. Great night.
Don’t like this, boxing as a sport can only continue to exist because we aren’t blood thirsty animals, when a man says no, goes limp, taps out, TRIES TO LEAVE THE FUCKING RING, the fight is over, you’ve won, end of combat, the dude might have been genuinely hurt. This is shit behaviour from the offensive boxer and not in the spirit of the sport at all. Ok he tried to flee the ring, imagine getting punched in the face off a professional boxer, idk how the fuck I’d react but it wouldn’t tickle.
I don’t know a lot about boxing in particular, but I’d imagine they have a way to signal “Hey I’m out, you win” that isn’t turning and running from your opponent
That’s literally the universal sign of “I’ve had enough” you’re physically running away from the fight! Come on man, would you keep launching haymakers at someone who’s running away from you? Nah just take the win, end of bout
On the street, no I wouldn’t. In a PROFESSIONAL setting where it’s understood everyone fights until someone falls or the ref calls it? You bet your ass I’ll keep fighting.
Let’s also not forget the guy turned back around after getting on the ropes. Which to me says he was about to try and pull some wrestling bullshit on his opponent
Why?
It gets the people going
It's provocative
No it's not, it's gross

Not how boxing works, when you’ve had enough the round should end instantly.
They call that throwing in the towel.
That's also not how boxing works.

We don’t know and he don’t remember.
Hippie sonuvabitch.
He thought he was on Netflix. WWE is such trash
Well, the dumber it is, the more people like it... I wonder why...
WWE is literally soap opera for men
it has been a soap opera for decades.
Always has been.
wwe didn't do anything to make this happen
WWE isn't boxing, it's entertainment. It's like complaining about the Fast and the Furious movies when someone crashes in Nascar. It's not real, and everyone knows that.
Opinions are like assholes.
Everybody's got one, or two, and nobody likes another person's?
Everyone has one, and most of them stink.

Awe someones upset 😡
Higher ground is not always an advantage.
- Sun Tzu, probably.
The enemy of my enemy is just another bastard who might stab me in my sleep.
If you know yourself and know your enemy you need never fear not knowing anyone.
“Stop misappropriating my quotes to that crusty bastard”
- Also probably Sun Tzu
The key to victory is misdirection. Sun Tzu again, but awhile later.
Last thing a ref says at the beginning of the fight is: "Defend yourself at all times. Ok, fight".
He doesn't say "and if it gets tough and you chicken out, run away and try to do a tightrope walk on the ropes, it's the best defense".
In most fights you can quit whenever you want—but the ref still needs to stop the action.
It didn’t seem like he wanted to stop. He does it as a follow up move to dodging the punch.
Idk, jumping the ropes is never a “follow up move.”
I mean it didn’t look like conventional behavior. Might have thought intended a weird jump punch off the rope.
I don’t know is fleeing and diving over the ropes a standard practice I wasn’t aware of?
I’ve seen it in WWE.. maybe he was gonna go grab a chair
BAH GAWD THE HUMANITY
You're going to jump up like that?? How kind of you!
SMACK
And put your hands down on the top rope?
Here comes the chin music.
He thought this was WWF
Hello, fellow old person. I, too, still call it WWF, despite the name changing about 20 years ago.
I still have the t-shirt of a panda hitting another panda with a chair
Lol. I feel called out. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It does say Wrestling Island so he probs got confused
He was so dazed he thought he was a pro wrestler
"I am a pro wrestler! I've got the brain damage to prove it!"
I’m going to tell my kids this was the Anthony Joshua v Jake Paul fight
Basically.
Just from this small clip, it already looks better than Anthony Joshua VS Jake Paul
I find it hilarious that he kind of resembles Glass Joe.
Anakin! I have the OOF!
No edge guarding
The moment black shorts started running away, he already disqualified himself.
I watched it the first time, but why does he do it again twice more, including one of them in slow-mo?
Will he ever learn his lesson?
Hahahaha, what a goof ball.
"let me try spinning" ass maneuver
* This isn't wrestling fool!
Did he learn that move watching a cartoon?
What he was planning
I think as soon as he turned his back he'd lost by disqualification anyway, isn't that the rule?
Not anymore, you have to turn and take a knee. Running and jumping on the ropes confused everybody but his opponent.
Used to be, not sure about now
I honestly thought he was trying to forfeit.
He might have been concussed, but if he wasn't then he should have taken a knee
POW! RIGHT IN THE KISSER!
How Wolli fights would actually go.
This is the last place I expected to find a HnI reference lmao.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Wow as embarassing of a finish as it gets..geez
I remember my dad and I going to a Toughman thing locally back in the 80's. Saw one guys tooth fly into the audience. And saw an idiot try to do something like this, to similar effect. Great night.
Did he think this was WWE?
It’s over Anakin, I have the higher gr…..
Jake?
Hide and seek champion 2024 lost his boxing debut 2025
Bro thought he was Ray Mysterio
Brother worked himself into a shoot.
Jumped around and found out
Both those guys look like meth heads.
Can I get an “America! FUCK YEAH!!!” for those trunks?
He did knock him out
Dammit
Wheeling island casino is like 20 minutes from me lol figures
And it did not shock me at all to see that turnbuckle. Meth is a hell of a drug.
He was gonna swan ton bomb
Big Charlie Z energy on that guy
Target Acquired!
I don’t see a fight. I see one boxer and a fool that doesn’t belong in a ring.
Rex kwon do shorts
Dude got his boxing training from NES Pro Wrestling and though bouncing off the ropes would let him dona flying knee or lariat.
🤣🤣🤣
Bro wanted to run
Cameraman earning his pay lmfao
Bro thought he was in Super Punchout. 😂
Running to fog gate in ds2 be like...
Winner, by KNOCK OUT!
i have seen folded like a pretzel but not self-bola'd lol.
I will never understand why people find this to be entertainment.

Can we at least agree it might be better to just hit the deck and stay there to end the fight?
