Wait is Fatty Mcboomboom the one who has the energy sheild around him? The energy sheild guy is the one I'm stuck on.
I suspect you're talking about Packrat Palooka. I struggled with him just last week.

What I found was that the only way to defeat him was to get to him quickly and keep him away from the doors. I put fuzzles in front of the doorways, shot the electro-panels and the moment he stepped towards the computer, shot a boombat behind him to knock on him off the platform and on to the ground. Now, you can't depend on the fuzzles to keep him occupied; they'll only attack him for a few seconds and then he'll run in to the doorway. You have to run forwards and get between him and the door and shoot him with thudslugs and zappflies. Try to keep him stuck in a corner and not towards the centre of the arena. Thudslugs are the important thing here; they'll knock him on the ground for long enough for them to reload (as long as you have bought the reloader). And you need to keep him on to the ground because otherwise he'll run away and shoot you. You can only take two or three shots before you're killed so act fast.

If you follow this and are lucky, you can bag him alive without letting him run back on to the platform.
