Fidel Castro vs Horatio Nelson: who would win in a fist fight?
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.
Horatio Nelson
“Hero of the Nile” · United Kingdom · 1758–1805 · about 5′5″ (165 cm), about 132 lb (60 kg)
British admiral who destroyed the French and Spanish fleets at Trafalgar in 1805 and died at the moment of victory. Fought on after losing the sight of one eye and most of his right arm.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Castro by TKO. Castro wins by TKO in round two. Nelson hoists the signal that England expects every man to do his duty, then does his against someone 26 cm taller and 30 kg heavier. The referee, expecting nothing further, stops it. Castro never even changes out of his fatigues.
Fair fight? Tie Castro's right arm behind his back to match Nelson's, so the admiral at least faces a man with the same number of punching arms.
