The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Lincoln by TKO. Alexander charges in from the front, as usual, straight into Lincoln's jabs from a man 23 cm taller and 12 kg heavier. He has survived many wounds, but by round three the referee has seen enough and stops it. Lincoln's rail-splitting shoulders do the work.
Fair fight? Let both fight with cavalry broadswords, the terms Lincoln chose for his 1842 duel. Alexander gets to cut something, and Lincoln gets another chance to call the whole thing off.
