outmatching
Proving clearly superior
Outmatching is surpassing or defeating someone by being superior in skill, strength, or resources.
The word implies direct competition where one side proves clearly better: The veteran boxer kept outmatching younger opponents.
It suggests not just winning but demonstrating dominance—being more than a match for the opposition.
