The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Zangief by TKO. Alexander charges in first, as usual, and collects his customary wound from a man who trains by wrestling bears and is 46 kg heavier. Late in round two the referee steps in and stops it. Zangief then dances, because of course he does.
Fair fight? Match the weights by having Zangief fight at 70 kg, so Alexander's tactical genius, rather than the 43 cm height gap, decides the fight.
