Fidel Castro vs Barack Obama: 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.
Barack Obama
“No Drama Obama” · United States · b. 1961 · 6′1″ (185 cm), 175 lb (79.4 kg)
44th President of the United States and commander-in-chief during the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden. Serious pickup basketball player. A natural southpaw.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Obama by Decision. Obama's basketball-honed legs keep him circling away from the bigger man all night, popping that southpaw jab while Castro lumbers forward in oversized fatigue-style trunks. El Comandante keeps trying to close distance and clinch instead of box. Judges score it wide for the disciplined pol over the winded revolutionary.
Fair fight? Stretch it to six rounds so Castro's superior size and legendary stamina finally overwhelm Obama's early speed advantage.
