Golpe a traición

I know he was "murdered", this is a big story. Read : The who killed Houdini, by Don Bell.

Answer 4

I'm not sure how to say this in Spanish, but for all of you who don't understand the question, a "sucker punch" is when someone hits you when you are not prepared, e.g., you are not looking at your opponent or are unaware that you are about to be hit.

A sucker punch is a blow made without warning, allowing no time for preparation or defense on the part of the recipient.

Please I'd like to translate this word in Spanish. Thanks
