Welcome to Gaia! ::

As the first fighter, a heavily tattooed young man with blond dreadlocks, makes it to his feet, he catches a Big Boot to the skull, sending him sprawling to the arena floor. The second crusierweight, a masked luchadore, attempts to flee, only to be hauled into a fireman's carry. He struggles desperately for a moment before his legs are thrown backwards in a spin, and the Giant drops to the mat, driving his shoulder into the lighter man's throat.

Mathias stand tall in the center of the ring, staring at the entrance ramp, and beckoning anyone to come out and face him. The Texas Terror has evil intentions tonight.

Mathias, not surprisingly a man of few words, shot his ham-sized fist forward sharply. If it connected, Bane would find himself on the receiving end of a George Foreman-esque right hand, with enough power behind it to sprawl the lighter man out.

Whatever technique Bane might have had, he was simply nowhere near large enough to inflict any serious damage, or any real discomfort to the 450 lb wall of muscle. Mathias winced from the initial sting of the blow, but didn't budge or otherwise seem to notice. His massive white hand closed like a vice over the smaller man's shoulder, and his watermelon-sized head shot forward, smashing into Bane's forehead.
Clearly, Bane could not hope contend with Mathias on strikes.


(Sorry if that seems a trifle unfair, but from a simple physics standpoint, there's no possible way that a one hundred-sixty-five pound man at five foot nine could possibly hit a four hundred fifty pound man at seven foot three in a thickly muscled area hard enough to seriously hurt him.)

(Uh-huh. Sorry, but no. Aside from nerve holds, or certain throws that rely on a gyroscopic motion, a size advantage is very, very difficult to negate past a certain point. There was no 'tap'. What you saw was either a nerve-targeted blow, or a demonstration of the 'One-Inch Punch', which has never been definitively proven to be anything other than a show concocted by Bruce Lee's immediate circle of friends and students. There is simply not enough weight behind a shot from a man less than one third the weight of the target to do any serious damage unless he put his whole body into it, and even then, it's hit or miss. I'm not saying it's impossible, just that the possibilities are infinitely remote.)

(Much as I don't agree with your particular view, I didn't mean to come off as a jerk. I've been having trouble with identity theft, and I've been diagnosed with carpal tunnel, and I guess it just filtered into this. The whole point of this is to have fun, and I'm really not having much fun lately. Sorry. ^^;; ))
