Is it really realistic that Oliver can throw around Clark?

I have a friend who teaches martial arts. There is a 14 year old girl in the class that manhandles guys twice her size. My friend also weighs around 165 and spars in Judo with guys around 250. The big guys think they have the advantage until he tosses them around. Size is not always the key to a fight.Comment

True, but the fight that Clark had with the guy before Ollie was very real and Clark won so I did see what Clark is capable of. Ollie had a free pass when it came to Clark so no proof as to what Ollie can actually do with that kind of fighting.
There is a little bit of info that came to attention in the spoiler thread some time ago. Tom accidentally broke a stunt man's nose so I wonder if this was the occasion with him fighting in this episode. Could that have been real blood on the fighter that Clark beat? Just a thought.Comment

I wouldn't want to spar with Tom...LOL!! As big and strong as he is, if he did accidentally hit you it would hurt like the dickens. And I've sparred with big guys....but he looks like he would enthusiastically throw everything he had into it.Comment

We were also wondering why Clark is such a wuss just cause he doesn't have his powers. He is still quite a strapping man!!Comment

I know that Oliver can fight. The question was just that Clark is a pretty big guy. He probably weighs around 220 pounds, it just seemed weird and unrealistic that he could just throw him around like that. And Oliver isn't that big either. I can't imagine him weighing more than Clark.

Bruce Lee could probably kick Clarks ass!!!

Doubtful that was real blood. I work on sets on occasion and they would have instantly cleaned up the injured man. There are too many diseases out there that are blood-borne so they are pretty careful about that.

Tom has had some training in boxing or kick boxing, so I think he would know what to do to put a hurt on someone if it came down to survival. He also makes fighting look real so again the training might play a part in that. But, yes, I wouldn't want to be the other guy if Tom connects with his punch.Comment

Like Bri, I have also done a little Judo (5th degree black belt). While it is highly unlikely that anyone could throw someone the same distance as you see on TV and the movies (people in real-life aren't hooked up to wires!), it is indeed possible for smaller people to throw larger people with a fair amount of "air time". It is more a matter of balance (keeping yours and off-balancing your opponent) than strength. Given that Ollie has trained extensively in unarmed combat and Clark was not fully resisting (he knew Ollie would have to "win"), it is certainly believable that Oliver could throw Clark through the air. Clark just wouldn't have had quite the same "air time" if he weren't hooked up to wires.Comment

Well its not like Oliver was throwing clark around, he got one good throw on him, and Oliver is a pretty big guy, not as big as clark, but still pretty strong. mabey it was all a plan to make the fight look more engaging so zod would fall for it!Comment
