Benito Mussolini
“Il Duce” · Italy · 1883–1945 · about 5′7″ (169 cm), about 176 lb (80 kg)

The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Castro by TKO. Castro wins by TKO in round three. Mussolini opens bare-chested, striking fencing poses for imaginary cameras, but lunging up at a man 22 cm taller means eating jabs all night. The referee stops it when the harvest-photo physique stops holding its pose.
Fair fight? Make Castro fight the first two rounds on his knees to cancel the 22 cm height gap. Mussolini keeps his fencing footwork, and the photographers stay ringside.
