As the title implies, I will be fighting a fat guy in three days (Saturday). Don't try to talk me out of it, it's definitely happening. I have to fight him for my honor.
So, here's some facts. The guy is about my height, maybe an inch taller, and he's like one-hundred pounds heavier than me. I'm pretty sure he has bad cardio, he doesn't do sports or anything besides lifting weights. He does play basketball occasionally, so he at least can last a few minutes before being exhausted.
I, on the other, run track and in much better shape and I'm pretty sure I'm faster. Other than the occasional push-up/sit-up/pull-up etc session, I don't do much muscular training so he probably has a muscular advantage.
So, do you guys have any advice on how to approach this guy? I was think I would start off dancing around him, throwing a few jabs, not really trying anything. This is just to get him tired because I know I can last longer than him. After that, I go in for actual punches. I'm not going to stay in his distance too long though because he could use his superior strength to grapple with me. After he's really tired, then I'll go in for the power punches and hopefully end the fight right there. What do you guys think about this strategy?
Anyone know a weak spot for fat guys? Of course, you go for the face, but I don't wanna get too predictable. I was thinking about striking his solar plexus to confuse him before going with the face shots. Any more weak spots?
For the next three days, I'll be eating a lot of protein and watching some UFC so I can tone my mind/body for the intesities. Anyone have any dietary advice?
Any more advice? I'll check back here Saturday to let you know how the fight went.
Thanks |
Muscle mass increases metabolism and burns calories, thus preventing one from becoming fat in the first place. Most fat people are not as strong as you would think, especially in terms of upper body strength. The best advice I can give you is to fight aggressively as you likely have a physique more suited to fighting. Also, if he tries to get pushy, redirect his own momentum and throw him. Get some help with basic throwing and grappling if possible (watching UFC does not count, sorry). Remember to strike fast, hooks and uppercuts are slow and leave you vulnerable. Use jabs, crosses, knee strikes and elbow strikes. Practice your striking before the fight to help yourself become comfortable with these techniques. This will have the added benefit of allowing you to increase your speed and build muscle memory. No dietary advice is necessary at this point, the fight is too close to worry about that. The only thing I can recommend as far as what you eat is to consume a fairly light meal before the fight consisting of eggs, toast and plenty of fresh fruit. This should provide the simple sugars and carbohydrates needed for the fight. Good luck, remember that you have an advantage that if properly utilized, will allow you to attain victory.
