Audie Murphy

The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Amin by TKO. Murphy was once turned down by the Marines and the paratroopers for being too small, and now meets a former national light heavyweight champion who is 60 kg heavier. He keeps coming, bravely, until the referee stops it in round two. Amin awards himself a new title.
Fair fight? Fight at a catchweight: Amin drops 30 kg, Murphy gains 30 kg. That turns Murphy's odds from hopeless into merely brave.
