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 |
1 question is he fat and fluffy or fat-BIG?? there is A LOT of difference there. As you put it, it is the second case, because he goes to the gym, and might have a good cardio. If he doesnt do much of aerobic exercise, dont under-estimate him, because if he grabs and to hits you, is game over, unless you have and outstanding endurance recieving punches in the face.
In 3 days you CANT have an overwhelming upgrade in your physical performance; but you can learn some fighting mover acording to your abilities. If you have a friend that practices martial arts/boxing, i recommend to go talk to him so he can teach you some stuff. Many of us can tell you different things, punches, techniques, but you NEED to see them, practice them, and have feedback if it right or wrong; just having a manual wont do the trick here, so follow my advice.
