was going to box with his very strong opponent.

What does the word 「ものかねえ」mean?
> 「なんとか打{う}たれずしてすんなり負{ま}ける方法{ほうほう}は **ないものかねえ** ！」

The pattern:

> 「[Noun] + は + ないもの + かね/かな/だろうか, etc.」

is an informal expression meaning:

> "I wonder if there really is no [Noun]"

The noun phrase here is 「なんとか打たれずしてすんなり負ける方法」, meaning "way to lose easily
without getting punched somehow".
