Hello, teachers!
Tom was a good boxer, and in you he finally met his match.
----->
I don't understand the last part -- and in you he finally met his match.
Why was "in you" used? Is this a special way to express something?
Thank you in advance. |

In this sentence, "In you" = his match.
It is a way of saying you are better than Tom is. |
