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.
Machamp
“The Superpower Pokémon” · Pokémon · 1996 · 5′3″ (160 cm), 287 lb (130 kg)
Fighting-type Pokémon with four muscular arms. Its punches can send an opponent clear over the horizon, but anything delicate gets its arms tangled.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Machamp by TKO. Castro once talked for four and a half hours at the UN, but this ring only allows nine minutes, and Machamp's four arms don't wait for sentences to finish. Midway through round two the referee stops it, with Castro's fatigues still trying to catch up to the horizon. Machamp wins by TKO.
Fair fight? Restrict Machamp to two arms, taped to his sides, so it's a two-fisted fight and Castro's 31 cm height edge might finally count for something.
