outduels

Wins the showdown

To outduel is to defeat an opponent in a duel or duel-like competition.

The word appears most often in sports journalism, where pitchers outduel each other in low-scoring baseball games or quarterbacks outduel in shootouts: Martinez outdueled their ace through seven scoreless innings.

Outduels is the third-person singular present tense.
