mogged

/mɒɡd/

Common

Clearly outshone or dominated by someone else in looks, height, or physical presence.

The passive-voice framing matters. You do not just lose; you get mogged by a specific person in a specific moment. Self-mogging (applying it to yourself) is usually self-deprecating humor.
