The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Lincoln by Decision. Lincoln's rail-splitting arms out-jab Castro all night, but with grappling throws ruled a foul, the Hall-of-Fame wrestler can't just toss his man out of the ring. Castro, heavier and stubborn, absorbs it and keeps swinging into round three. Judges give Lincoln a workmanlike decision on volume punching.
Fair fight? Make it a catchweight bout: have Castro shed the 8 kg edge so Lincoln's height and jab aren't fighting a heavier man too.
