My buddy, an out of shape slow moving but powerful 250lbs heavyweight, is entered in a fraternity boxing event tomorrow night. He is gonna have to go for a 1st round KO because he has no stamina to go two rounds. What strategy or novice advice should i give him to pull off a victory? any help before tomorrow would be a great help.

I recomend the jab. Tell him to relax so he doesnt blow off all his steam, let the other guy swing for the fences like in most of those type fights, I know i was in the same fraternity fight about 4 years ago. After he tires tell him right hand to the nose, The party will be over. Just relax and block, Dont get into and swing out..

Pull out, train him before throwing him into this.

Watch the Simpsons episode "Homer They Fall" when Homer become a boxer, classic tactics. If they worked for Homer they'll work for anyone.

stepping into the ring is nothing to play with. The toughman contests have been cancelled because of deaths that happened with people from lack of preperation.

Golf is a game, baseball is a game, even football is a game. Boxing is not.

This is a bad idea. He could get killed.

Has he ever had an actual bout?

This is a bad idea.......what is a fraternity event? Never heard of it.....if its more or less sparring with an opponent of equal skill and experiance then fine......Tell him to keep his hands up and wait for the other guy to tire out..then lay into him.......
If this is an actual bout where your actually trying to hurt each other then dont let him do it. If your his true buddie, u wont let him do it.

If i was out of shape and fighting i would kill the guy as soon as possable and go for a quick knock out. The longer hes in the fight the weaker hes gonna get obviously and then less chance hes gonna be able to knock the guy out. Or if hes out of his depth throw the towel in if he could get seriously hurt. Wtf is a fraternity fight anyway?

I don't think people know what you are talking about. This type of match is fine for your friend.

My guess is that if your friend is fighting someone alot lighter than him and unless they are even close to his weight he will kick their ass.

All you should do is a little shadow boxing with him. Make sure that he keeps his hands up and his eyes open and on you when he throws punches, lots of noobies **** that **** up. Also throw some light punches at him help him work on blocking.

If he blocks one of this other guys' punches and the other guy probably has no experience he will freak the hell out and probably quit right there.

are you serious? can't believe im trying to answer this question.
You got two choices, pull him out or go in swinging?
take your pick.

just go over and over and over technique with him and dont feed him on ****.

but a better idea would be pull out of the fight and train him till hes ready.

gud luck.

It's a faternity fight (that will most likely have already been), pulling out is never an option.

Yeah I know, that's why I hate this idea of "frat boxing". It's just dude's thinking they're tough and throwing on gloves, not boxing.

My buddy won a 4 round UD with three knockdowns against an ametuer boxer. And it turns out its ametuer boxing so we go back to fight again tonight. This also was the only fight that actually looked like actual boxing the whole night. He's actually in much better shape than i thought and two more victories and he's Ole Miss heavyweight boxing champ of the world. Lamon Brewster better watch his back.

By the way I need a better nickname for the guy. His name is Jimmy Morgan and he looks like bball star Larry Bird. So far all I've got is jimmy "the snake" Morgan, but thats pretty lame. And the announcer will read the nickname outloud so i need something good. any suggestions are welcome

Jimmy "Retro Bird" Morgan? no takers? ok i quit.
