Pick the winner and how they win (TKO, DQ or decision), then see how everyone else called it.
Idi Amin
“Big Daddy” · Uganda · c. 1925–2003 · about 6′4″ (193 cm), about 243 lb (110 kg)
Military dictator of Uganda from 1971 to 1979, whose regime killed an estimated 100,000 to 500,000 people. Earlier, Uganda’s national light heavyweight boxing champion for most of the 1950s.
Kirby
“The Pink Puffball” · Nintendo · 1992 · 0′8″ (20 cm), about 4 lb (2 kg)
Round pink hero of Dream Land who inhales enemies and copies their powers. Officially about 20 cm tall, and far tougher than he looks.

The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Kirby by DQ. Amin, the former light heavyweight champ, spends round one bending double to hit a target shorter than his shin. In round two he tries a stomp, and the referee disqualifies him. Kirby, headband on, bobs away unbothered. The self-styled Conqueror of the British Empire loses to a puffball.
Fair fight? Put Kirby on a chest-high platform so Amin can punch straight ahead instead of bending over or stomping. It's still not fair, but at least it's a boxing match.
