Whether you admit it or not, this face-watching world isn't very friendly to fat people.
When Ao Ri Gele, a 188-centimeter-tall and 150-kilogram "kung fu panda", appears in front of the public, people will always be attracted by his endless belly and forget the horror of his fists.
7 seconds KO Wang Yanbo, 24 seconds KO Kim Jae-hoon, 39 seconds KO "American Beast" Bob Sapp...
Ao Rigle's time in the ring is measured in seconds.
But when it comes to not playing, Ao Ri Gele is like his nickname, like a lazy panda, the biggest hobby is eating, and it is difficult for you to associate him with the king of the ring.
Shouldn't all ring killers be muscle men? Ao Rigle is not alone.
In fact, in the world's top ring, Fat Boy has never been a supporting role. Let's reveal from the four perspectives of attack, defense, explosiveness and physical reserves, how terrible the fat man is for the ring.
1 Offense
The confidence and confidence of the fat man to step into the ring comes from Newton's second law of motion: force equals mass multiplied by acceleration.
Quality is weight, and under the explosive force that can produce acceleration, the heavier the weight, the heavier the punch. Muscle is not the determining factor for a hard blow, it is weight and explosiveness.
Ao Ri Ge Le has been evaluated as rough in technology, but this does not affect the weight of Ao Ri Ge Le's fist in the slightest. Hitting fast and slow, punching and killing the teacher is his style of play.
"My punches are fast and powerful, and I strive to hit them with one blow, so that the opponent has no strength to fight back."
When the roaring fist carries a weight of 150 kilograms of potential energy, the hit person is like being hit by a truck, so it is not strange to kill KO in a second.
In MMA ground combat, weight is also a weapon. With a huge weight to crush the opponent under the body and beat it wildly, it is a common shot in the competition of Ao Zhi Gele.
At this time, the audience can read the despair in the eyes of the opponent, can they get up after being crushed by such a huge belly? It's a curse from gravity.
2 Defense
Roy Nelson, who also has the nickname Kung Fu Panda, has sagging, a huge belly that rivals a pregnant woman's, and a heavy punch to kill his opponent in seconds — he once KO 2.11-meter-tall Dutch giant Stefan Struv for 39 seconds.
During his three years at the UFC, Nelson set a record: he was hit 487 times, including the iron fist of former UFC heavyweight champion Santos. But Nelson was never KO, becoming the most resistant tough guy in the UFC, pure.
Fats have the effect of buffering and protecting internal organs. 183 cm tall and 120 kg of Nelson has a thick neck, wrapped in a fat layer, the relatively soft body produces a strong anti-shock, becoming a boxing "tumbler".
Nelson never envied the muscular machos, and he even slapped his huge beer belly to mock his opponents.
"The value of muscle men is to attract spectators, not to win games."
"I hope big stars like Tom Cruise will come to the game, so that there will be more new audience attention, of course, the one who wins the game is not necessarily the most handsome one."
3 Explosiveness
The 183-centimeter, 103-kilogram Fido was almost the smallest heavyweight, but it took him only 26 seconds to squash Zulu, the 2-meter-tall, 185-kilogram "Black Giant."
Tim Sylvia, who is 2 meters 03, has twice dominated the UFC heavyweight class, but only supported 36 seconds in front of Fido, which shows that Fido's Russian swing punch is full of explosiveness.
Fido's lack of well-defined muscles, even a slightly bulging beer belly, has been jokingly called "a refrigerator with legs", which is largely related to his failure to do heavy weight training. Fido's daily training is based on explosive exercises of his own weight, such as boxing, sit-ups and pull-ups.
The only weight-bearing instrument he uses is a 34-kilogram long-handled hammer that uses a sledgehammer to smash tires to strengthen the muscles of his legs and back.
He does not deliberately increase muscle and lose fat, but focuses on developing the flexibility, elasticity and explosive speed of the body, wrapping a large amount of muscle under the fat layer.
To tell a negative case, former IBF world champion Fernando Vargas, extremely muscular, 22 of the 26 winning matches were KO, but has never been able to rank among the top boxers.
Mark Hills, the coach who coached Roy Jones, pointed out Vargas's problem: an excessive focus on muscle gain and neglect of flexibility training.
"The success of a boxer is not about how much muscle you add, but about how much more you can boost your blood's ability to deliver oxygen and reduce the amount of lactic acid in your muscles."
Vargas's overdeveloped muscles during the match with Hoya were sought after by boxing fans, but they reduced their physical elasticity, and although his fists were heavy, his single punches and stiff movements could not catch the experienced Hoya. After five or six rounds of the game, Vargas could barely swing his arm. ”
It can be seen that muscle flexibility, elasticity and explosiveness are the keys to success. In terms of percussiveness, a flexible fat man is far more terrifying than a stiff muscular man.
Explosive force requires the highest contraction speed and maximum force in the shortest possible time.
Training points:
1. Weight-bearing training: use 40-70% of the maximum weight to experience the maximum speed and maximum force during training, or hold a light weight barbell/functional instrument (kettlebell, war rope, elastic rope, etc.) for rapid exercise of special actions, requiring the accuracy of technical actions.
2. Non-weight training, characterized by continuous movement and explosiveness.
Kong Handong, a heavyweight Chinese boxer at MMA, said of the strength and physical training of big-level boxers:
"Strength training is generally divided into absolute strength training and core strength training, and now the mainstream is core strength training, which mainly develops physical stability and trunk strength."
"In the comprehensive fitness training, we use more jumping boxes, battle ropes, kettlebells, etc."
4 Physical reserves
Fat is the storehouse of energy in the body, but when there is too much fat, the excess meat will bring a huge burden, so obese boxers generally choose to fight quickly.
Because of their larger weight, heavyweight boxers are more likely to injure their knees while running. Kong Handong said, "Sometimes running too much knee discomfort, will use rowing machine instead of running", another way of physical training that does not hurt the knee is swimming.
In doing these exercises, they are not murdering fat, but are strengthening their cardiopulmonary function in order to support their huge bodies for long fights.
So conversely, is it that the lower the body fat, the better the physical reserves? Contrary.
Fat is a double-edged sword, proper body fat is a must, when the body fat is too low, the boxer's physical reserve will be a problem.
Boxer Evander Holyfield was once voted the most toned boxer with extremely low body fat. But his size was questioned by boxing physician Philip Homansky:
"Hollyfield is not a natural hunk, he does not have the explosive power of a one-shot kill, because his body fat is too low, his body storage is insufficient, he will quickly run out of glycogen reserves, resulting in a lack of offensive strength in the middle of the 12-round game."
In the 10 games that Hollyfield lost, 8 of them were 12-round point losses, and the other 2 draws were also 12 rounds of points, which shows that Hollyfield is indeed not good at playing protracted battles, and once the game is dragged into the second half, his winning rate will be greatly reduced.
Seeing this, you should understand that a flexible fat man may be the most terrible killer in the ring.
