Meaning of かませるワンちゃん


Context: boxer A tells boxer B that the president of the gym, who is also
boxer B's father, cannot come to watch boxer B's match. Boxer B doesn't have a
good relationship with his father.

> Boxer A: 会長はマッチメイクでタイにいる。来れないそうだ。
>
> Boxer B: フーン… かませるワンちゃん見つかったな親父… ハハ！

What is the meaning of かませるワンちゃん? I think the verb is 噛む. I understand the
literal meaning, but not the actual one. Is it an idiomatic expression?
Something like `a dog to give orders to` or `a dog that talks for him`? My
translation attempt:

> Boxer A: The president is in Thailand to organize a match. It looks like he
> won't come.
>
> Boxer B: Ha! My father found a dog that talks for him. Ah ah!

Thank you for your help!




I think "噛ませるワンちゃん" implies "噛ませ犬". I don’t know a dogfight system though, I
guess the word comes from them. In a combat sport like boxing, it is not
uncommon that a match-maker chooses the opponent which their boxer definitely
wins in order to get his boxer confidence.

It is very similar to ”underdog” in English though, while the underdog is used
when a team always lost regardless of making an effort, かませ犬 himself often
doesn't intend to win from the beginning.

Edit:1

Sometimes 噛ませ犬 makes an upset in a boxing match. Say, a match-maker prepares a
world championship between ex-champion which seems already passed his best
time and an undefeated-prospect for the future champion. An ex-champion seemed
噛ませ犬 by a matchmaker though, he showed his pride and won the match. So, 噛ませ犬
has a broader usage.
