To me, this is akin to a boxer thinking Maybe if I just let the other guy punch me in the fact for 10 rounds he'll knock himself out, a battle plan literally adopted by no boxer ever.

Ironically, a slight variation of this strategy (he kept his hands up to protect his face) was called the Rope-a-Dope (that’s the ironic part). It was used by Muhammad Ali to defeat some of the toughest boxers in the world.
