[Boris]

The 25lb weight difference will be marginal help at best. A good wrestler will not let you get on him. Plus a good wrestler will know how to use his weight so he feels far heavier than his 150lbs.

This is a sport of all technique. I would wrestle above my weight class all of the time and it would change very little.

Your best bet is to get lucky with a headlock or something. Unless you have weeks of training you are not going to be able to really do crap. I would suggest learning one throw (headlock is probably the easiest), sprawling/cross face, and one pinning combination and just hope you can pull that off.

Most likely you will be flopping like a fish though.

This is fairly pathetic on your part. You should have been able to flounder for more than 15 secs.

Did he throw you or just take you down and put you right on your back? Did you give up your back instantly?

You will get rocked. I used to watch my 150 lbs. friend who wrestled in high school take down my 200 lbs. friend over and over and over. Small Asian guy vs big white guy. White guy was a very strong swimmer, soccer player, and crew rower. Trust me, you won't stand a chance.

If you've never wrestled your done. D O N E done. I was a below average wrestler in high school, never worked out in college and 3 years out of high school i (5'10 180) was able to beat guys in my fraternity sig bigger than me. The biggest was a 6'7" 230lb basketball player who was in good shape and fairly atheletic. Any bigger and i lost but i could put up a fight, anyone smaller who had no experience i worked pretty easily.

you are going to get owned.

In high school, I was fat but surprisingly athletic. 5'7", 214 lbs. No wrestling training, but I could beat all the other fat kids in gym class.

A kid in my history class was the State Champ at 114 lbs.

We were each convinced that we could easily beat the other. Never found out.

tl:dr: Don't take the bet

Let me add to my previous post. I was a defending state champion at 145#s. At the start of my senior year we got a new assistant wrestling coach.

The year before he had finished 5th in the NCAA (division 1 - all-american) He weighed roughly 135#s.

We had a thing we did in practice where everybody on the team lined up in order of weight and the smallest 2 guys started wrestling, with the winner wrestling the next biggest guy. He jumped in at his actual weight and crushed everybody on the team.

This included about 6 state champions and runners-up (including me) who were 10-50#s heavier than him. We had no chance.

The kicker was when he threw our heavyweight (future starter on the University of Alabama D-line 300# plus - Go Hoover, see Two-A-Days thread) on his ass.

You need to get at least 30-1

U have no chance.
