The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Alexander by DQ. Snake is 12 cm taller and 5 kg heavier, but his close-quarters combat is a list of fouls. He throws, chokes, and gets disqualified in round two while Otacon nags on the Codec. Alexander, used to being wounded leading from the front, just stands there bruised and crowned.
Fair fight? Legalise grappling for this bout, so Snake's throws and chokes count as moves instead of fouls. Then Alexander needs a much better plan than absorbing punishment.
