"Beat someone hands down" = đánh ai khiến họ phủ phục hai tay dưới đất -> cụm từ này nghĩa là đánh bại ai một cách dễ dàng và dứt khoát.

Ví dụ
"We began to play our first game, and that first game Jackson beat me hands down, and I thought, 'Okay, some beginner's luck on an 8-year-old's part,'" Sutton said.

“If he boxed me he would have beat me hands down, but I took that away from him, I put fear in his eyes and took his boxing away from him, which is what I’m going to do – I’m putting fear in your eyes.”

There are only two or three guys in the class. The rest are young, middle-aged and older ladies. And it doesn’t matter what stage they are in their lives, they beat me hands down in the exercises, which we do for about 55 minutes.
