I slutet av filmen:
Charlie Kenton (Hugh Jackman) takes control of the robot as it is put into shadow boxing mode. He then sits there and just continuously blocks, saying he is waiting for the right moment. Then by some miracle the other robot has some sort of power loss. How did he know the robot would suffer a power loss?
Det kan vara en legitim strategi i boxning för att låta din motståndare bära sig ut och sedan gå på offensiven, men det här är robotar. Det är inte som om robotar någonsin blir trötta.
Eftersom han vet att Zeus strömkälla inte är obegränsad.
Denna lösning är en välkänd boxningsstrategi som kallas " Rope-a-dope "
The rope-a-dope is a boxing fighting style commonly associated with Muhammad Ali in his 1974 'Rumble in the Jungle' match against George Foreman.
Technique
The rope-a-dope is performed by a boxer assuming a protected stance, in Ali's classic pose, lying against the ropes, and allowing his opponent to hit him, toward the end that the opponent will tire and make mistakes which the boxer can exploit in a counter-attack. By leaning against the ropes, much of the punch's energy is absorbed by the ropes' elasticity rather than the boxer's body.

Charlie Kenton's idea to wear down Zeus's power supply by allowing him to repeatedly land blows on Atom was in fact a technique used by real life professional boxer Muhammad Ali. Nicknamed the 'rope-a-dope', Ali utilized the strategy to tire fellow boxer George Foreman, a much stronger opponent than himself, and eventually gain victory. Ali famously angered Foreman with phrases such as "Is that all you got, George?" during the fight, mirrored in the film by Kenton's taunting hand gesture.
Detta är också en teknik som är starkt associerad med Rocky Balboa, mer exakt i Rocky III , Och det finns många andra länkar du kan göra mellan Rocky-serien och Real Steal.
