Fighting empty-handed against someone at least 1.5x your size - Some real Little Mac business

[Zero Day Defense]

What would be the logistics of fighting bare-handed against someone nearly twice your size (and conversely, fighting against someone that's about 50 to 60 percent of your height) while it's forbidden to attack the groin or eyes?

Get a good liver shot in.

Fighting, with rules? What kind of wrassling bout is designed around mis-matched opponents?

Doesn't the smoller wrestler usually gain allowance to grab metal chairs from the audience?

(In the USA, you just shoot again. Not sure about these nerfed logistics.)

 

[TypicalSemite]

If you're faster and in an open environment you could just hit them and then run away until they're exhausted.

You (the spectator) don't want the fight to end too quickly, after all.

low kick to the shin and hope the pain is enough to bring him down or scare him away
but there's really not much you can do in a situation like that. you're gonna get bodied.

Hit below the belt, treat it like a speed ball if you can reach it that is

Remember that scene in the first Sherlock Holmes movie with Robert Downey jr where he is drunkenly fighting that big guy in the ring? That’s a good place to start find a way to disorient them and then try to do maximum damage while they are distracted

Big guy wins unless the little guy is a pro at martial arts. If he’s double your size he most likely wins anyway. The biggest determining factor is probably how much of his body mass is lean muscle vs amerifat blubber.

You lose. Like, if someone is 1.5 times stronger and bigger than you in a fists only, no groin fight that is simply what happens. Its why women consistently lose in every physical competition with men.

The only chance you have is to try and use an out-boxer style of fighting where you quickly dip in and out with light jabs to force the big guy to chase you. Essentially your trying to layer on minor amounts of damage and exhaust the opponent. But if the big guy ever gets a hold of you, because this isn't a boxing match and he is allowed to do that, your as good as done.

Either try to kick in their knee, hit their liver, use a rising headbutt (your crown into their mouth/nose), nutshot, or if you know any jujitsu try and snap something small like a finger. I wouldn't recommend much else since there's almost no chance you're so much faster than them you can dip in and out. It has to be quick and brutal. You've got to be like a honey badger attacking an ox.

If you're the bigger guy and the other person can't fight you can probably windmill and haymaker them or toss them around, a throw will end most people. Just watch getting hit in the nose or eyes, and don't discount a smaller man's hits too much because concussions can sneak up on you.

Ultimately humans suck ass at fighting and are cringe.

I think the a brute gladiator ruleset could match opponents "pound for pound" by creating teams of each kind.

The solution would be to find the common denomination of weight between say pandas and squishybears, to determine the ideal ratio of panda:squishybears battle royale.

Try HER for size then.

 

[Lemmingwise]

Not quite that size difference but I've won a fight like that. I was quite buff at the time. I picked him up, put him on the ground. He then held my legs in a vice grip and I slowly squirmed out while throwing palm strikes at his face to disorient him. Then I brought my knee in front of his face twice without connecting and asked him if he'd had enough.

If he even had a little bit of training though, I'd be fucked. There are ways to overcome size disadvantage, but only if you have significant and multiple other advantages.

But like all these conversations, people think of them as honest duels or something, but in practice you get into a fight when it's violence which isn't like a cagefight at all. The best way to win that is to have a weapon, or a car to drive them over with, or more friends nearby. For that reason you're never secure either, because you don't know where and who his friends are or what they might be carrying in their pockets.

Not bare handed though. If you have a spear or gun you obviously have a better chance against a physically larger opponent.

 

[Butterschmalz]

Dont fight bro. Best self defence is just moving to a good neighborhood. Boom problem solved.

Who said there were any rules to fighting, man?
