leütésperc

leütésperc is a Hungarian term that translates to "knockdown" or "takedown" in English, commonly used in the context of combat sports like boxing, kickboxing, and wrestling. It signifies a situation where a competitor is forced to the ground by their opponent.

In boxing and kickboxing, a leütésperc is typically a result of a legal blow that incapacitates a fighter temporarily, causing them to touch the canvas with any part of their body other than their feet. The referee then begins a count, and if the fighter cannot rise and demonstrate their ability to continue before the count of ten, they are declared defeated by knockout.

In wrestling, a leütésperc refers to a successful maneuver that forces an opponent to the mat, often for the purpose of gaining a dominant position or scoring points. Unlike in striking sports, a leütésperc in wrestling does not automatically end the match but is a crucial part of the strategic engagement between competitors. The term emphasizes the forceful nature of the action, indicating a decisive move that temporarily overcomes the opponent.
