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

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.

He's not fluffy...but he's not particularly muscular either. If you saw him yourself, you wouldn't think he lifted wieghts. And I know he has poor cardio, I've seen him run. The only aerobic exercise he does is basketball but not very intensely, just enough so that he could last for a while without dying from exhaustion.

You're both idiots.

How so?

Organising a fight because you called him fat?

That's not about honour, it's just stupid.

Ehh... That's arguable.

big weight difference. 100lb is a lot in fighting. your punches will not be very significant to his body since he weighs alot more than you. what i recommend is you need to kick, not punch. go for his legs and do leg kicks. kick his leg and pull out, and do that multiple times to make him feel pain on his legs. you should not go f or his body. dont hit his neck or face, unless it is really necessary since he can counter you because arms are shorter than legs. you should watch out for a take down. he can charge you hard and slam you on the ground and god know what he will do. he can kick your face or throw punches here and there and you are done due to the size difference. street fight can be very different from UFC. use your elbow too if you can.

After kicking his legs long enough, how do I finish the fight? Will I have to get him down, or will the leg pain make him yield?

If he lifts weight most probably he will have concrete columns as legs (I know, because I have concrete columns XD), so kicking them is not a good idea. Also if you have NO experience in martial arts, I dont recommend you to kick, because kicks are way to slow for someone who doesnt practice them. Punches are always fast attacks so it doesnt matter previous experience. If you are going to use kicks the must be fast, accurate, and most importantly STRONG; ONE kick can end any fight if you know how to properly do them. YOU NEED A TEACHER!!! dont waste your time here, and go to someone you know that practice somekind of fighting sport.

Trust me, his legs are not concrete columns. His legs are probably smaller than mine. I wouldn't worry about him having strong legs, LOL.

hmmm.. You say no kicks and other say use kicks. I guess I'll practise them today and see if I'm comfortable with them.
