The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Castro by Decision. Castro wins by decision. Churchill, the 1892 fencing champion, lunges gamely, but being 23 cm shorter means every entry meets a jab first. Castro, who once spoke for four and a half hours, treats nine minutes as a warm-up and cruises the scorecards.
Fair fight? Stand Churchill on a 20 cm platform for the bout. Then the old cavalryman can finally get his fencing lunge into range without running up the jab.
