Could a normal guy beat a amateur muay thai fighter?

could a normal guy who is fit and healthy beat a muay thai fighter who is a amateur. How important is strength in a fight?|||Yes he could, there%26#039;s always a chance, the chance increases/decreases depending on your combat experience and training.





Strength is one of the most important factors in a fight, others are: speed, experience, technique, conditioning.|||It%26#039;s doubtful but anything can happen in a fight. Strength plays some role but not always. To give you a perspective I was working with a heavy weight for the first time yesterday who has a black belt from another school and style. While I am sure that he is stronger than me physically his punches and jab were not while his kicks were stronger than mine. The reason is that he lacks the technique and relies to much on his shoulder muscles which are slow twitch type muscles. His punches and jab lack that speed and coordinated effort and there is little in the way of footwork and his body behind them or momentum. In short they are just arm punches. That will change with a little work and practice so that his punches and jab will have more speed and power just like his kicks do now.





Strength is important in grappling and wrestling but it is not near as effective if the person does not have their balance. Also overly relying on it can fatigue your muscles quicker and burn them out and render your greater strength useless. So a better fighter will also rely on leverage when and where they can and there are some techniques that require balance, leverage, and speed rather than power to use effectively. While a fit, strong, athletic type person might be able to win over someone like what you mention they are at a big disadvantage in so many other ways and the experience factor in all this is a huge factor even if we are just talking about an amateur.|||Anyone has the opportunity to beat anyone of any skill. It%26#039;s just gets less likely for them to. To say that it is impossible for one not to beat another, would be to tell the future. Because we don%26#039;t know what could happen in a fight until it happens.





If you%26#039;re fit, you stand a chance fighting someone, but remember, he has gotten comfortable punching and kicking. The more he does that movement the more confident he is doing it against you.





If you%26#039;re untrained and get in a fight with someone who might be, and you are fearful of losing your life or ability, don%26#039;t try to play his game. Attack them hard fast and unrelenting. Be confident in your movements and know and want to hurt them. You won%26#039;t shame them so don%26#039;t try, you won%26#039;t look good so just go, and you will get hurt so accept it.|||1- does the %26quot;normal%26quot; guy have a large height and weight advantage like 100lbs or more?





2- does the %26quot;normal%26quot; guy have a weapon?





3- is the mt guy in anyway physically impaired, drunk, asleep or has his back turned?





if the answer to all of these is %26quot;no%26quot; then probably not.





then again- it is an %26quot;amateur%26quot; MT fighter, you didn%26#039;t say that he was any good he could be 0-5 for all we know and just keep entering amateur bouts because his school does.





odds are I would say no.|||99.9999% of the time a skilled Thai boxer will beat a guy who doesn%26#039;t train to fight, who is just healthy and strong. The non-fighter would do well to pick up a beer bottle or a chair to defend himself and even that might not work. Muay Thai is nothing to be taken lightly, and it%26#039;s nothing to mess with. I can say the same thing about MMA.





Muay Thai is serious business. Those guys don%26#039;t mess around. They punish their opponents. If you can%26#039;t fight, you better run from a Thai boxer.|||certainly! everyone who becomes a great fighter was normal at a time! start classes and see how it goes





hell i am uncoordinated! i have no natural talen!, and have asthma and im winning tons of sparring tournaments! its because i work as hard as i can! its not about being normal, its about working hard and using what you have|||Anything is possible. I have seen seasoned black belts get caught off guard by new students that just had a different idea of how/when to move.





Strength only matters if the individual wielding it, knows how to do so.|||NO unless your a wrestler. because the only way to win that one is to take the MT guy out of his element. but watch out for knees or elbows going in for a double or single leg take down|||I%26#039;d say knowing how to fight is 1. Being quick is 2. How hard a punch you can take is 3 and strenth is 4 if i want to be nice to strength.


Youd get ur ### KICKED if he dose not suck|||In a street fight, anything is possible.





In the ring?





Not a chance.|||i am sure they would love to beat the hell out of a live punching bag
