Explanation:
Atentie! nicidecum nu are sensul "este mult superior faţă de concurenţii săi din aceeaşi clasă"!!!!!!

Din contra!!!! Este exact opusul! Este aparent inferior, nepregatit pentru ceea ce intreprinde. dispune de resurse limitate dar indrazneste, si eventaul poate fi castigator!!!! Tinteste mult mai sus decat ii permit resursele, insa poate castiga.

Example sentence(s):
  • Someone from a lighter weight wouldn\'t be expected to have much chance if \'punching above his weight\' against a heavier fighter.
