Pick the winner and how they win (TKO, DQ or decision), then see how everyone else called it.
Fidel Castro
“El Comandante” · Cuba · 1926–2016 · about 6′3″ (191 cm), about 198 lb (90 kg)
Guerrilla commander who seized power in Cuba in 1959 and ruled for nearly five decades. Survived the Bay of Pigs invasion and, by Cuban count, more than 600 assassination plots.
Ulysses S. Grant
“Unconditional Surrender” · United States · 1822–1885 · 5′8″ (173 cm), about 134 lb (61 kg)
Union general who won the American Civil War, then 18th US President. Slight of build, a superb horseman, and famously calm under fire.

The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Castro by TKO. Castro wins by TKO in round two. Grant stays calm under fire and keeps the cigar lit, but he's 29 kg lighter and 18 cm shorter, and his high-jump record doesn't help without a horse. The referee stops it while Grant is still politely advancing.
Fair fight? Move the bout to an open field and give Grant a horse. Castro, in his fatigues, would be chasing a West Point high-jump record holder on foot.
