How to Fight Someone Skinnier Than You (If You're Heavy)

Some of my favorite fighters are Mark Hunt and Hong Man Choi -- very big guys that prove you don't have to look like a supermodel in order to whoop some ass. Here are some tips to use your heavy weight to your advantage in a fight, and get the win. I'll let you in on a little secret, from us tiny guys: we're scared of opponents who are fatter than us. Seriously. Use that against us!

As a guy who is 270lbs, I can say Shane's tips are spot on. Fighting a smaller opponent, neutralizing their speed is the fastest way to end it. When I get my mits on a smaller dude, they're either going for a ride or getting mauled.

Back in 2006 I had a fight with a wanna be gangsta outside of my building. Biggest mistake he made was trying to grapple with me, as I had at least 70lbs on the dude. Picked him up, slammed him back first onto the pavement, sat on his chest and proceed to play whack-a-tool on his face. Never saw the dude in my neighborhood ever again.

Score one for the good guys.

I'd be afraid to wear the cheeseburger rash guard if the other guy had to cut weight for the fight...

Good to see tips for the big kids that are likely to be picked on at school, I'd like to see you make one for the weaker kids

Thanks for doing this video. I’m 6 foot 4 and quite muscular. I’m slow but powerful. Too little advice for people like me out there.

For Heavy People like Myself be unpredictable and over power them dont give them a pattern and try to immobolive your opponent, anyway if You have to twist a arm you minds we'll break it but remember violence only as a last resort

Thank you so much for this advice man, i'm 15 years old standing at 6 foot three and 220 pounds of pure muscle and this helps a lot

1. Don’t throw wild punches that miss and waste valuable oxygen. Don’t try to throw KO punches from a distance.

2. Protect your face at all times no matter how much weight advantage you have. Bare knuckles can mass you up way more than boxing gloves.

3. Wait for them to come to you first. Counter attacks work better than first attacks if you’re heavier.

4. Wait until you’re close and just kinda push them off balance with your fists. Even just hitting a lighter guys arm will knock them around. When they drop their hands to regain balance is when you attack with everything.

[waxworse]

[xpanda-c]

Thank u Shane every time I go around the internet I see how to fight a bigger guy how to fight if ur small they started making me feel as I was evil finally a video that teaches big guys how to fight

[angrymushroom]

Can confirm as a big dude that had people that did not learn not to fight me in highschool. Nothing says "We aren't fighting." like grabbing them and putting them into a wall or the floor. Amazingly having about 40-60 lbs on someone means you have a lot of leverage for a pin or a strike.
And no, didn't seek out fights but sure as hell stopped them.

Being a Big guy my whole life...you are spot on

Is there a video of you in a real fight? I'd like to watch it!

[PAPRHART]

Here's what I think are the best two tips to end a fight quick and stay out of danger. 1 double leg to a body slam, chances are they won't get back up. 2 Muay Thai clinch, a lot of people don't know what to do in the clinch so just hammer them with knees to the head and body until they drop.
