When it comes to fighting, size matters there is no question about it. With all else being equal, a larger man will possess a notable physical advantage over the smaller man.

However, with that being said that doesn’t mean the bigger guy is always going to win. If the smaller man has legitimate skills and training under his belt and the big guy does not, my money is going to be on the smaller man.

In this YouTube video from popular martial arts channel ‘fightTIPS’ we see Mr. fightTIPS himself Shane Fazen lace up the gloves himself to spar with a guy way bigger than him. 90lbs bigger!

What makes this sparring session a little different is that the big guy is not completely unskilled either. He has a background in traditional martial arts (taekwondo) where he achieved black belt status.

Though the session remains respectful as well as technical it is clear Shane has the better all around game. Also, though the bodybuilder may look way more intimidating and he for sure is going to be much stronger, Shane actually has the better build for fighting. That is because all of those muscles require oxygen which makes him tire quicker as Shane makes note of early in the sparring session.

Despite being massively out sized here (nearly 100lbs!), Shane is never in any real danger throughout the session and landed the cleaner strikes in each round. This video does a really good job pointing out that while size definitely is an important factor in fighting and martial arts, skill is vastly more important.
