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.
Saddam Hussein
“The Ace of Spades” · Iraq · 1937–2006 · about 6′2″ (188 cm), about 209 lb (95 kg)
President of Iraq from 1979 to 2003. Launched wars on Iran and Kuwait and brutally crushed opposition at home. Found hiding in a hole near Tikrit in 2003 and executed in 2006.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Castro by DQ. Saddam is 5 kg heavier, but Castro is 3 cm taller and has dodged over 600 assassination plots by Cuban count, so one incoming right hand is routine. In round two a suspiciously fresh-looking Saddam climbs through the ropes. The referee spots the body double and disqualifies him.
Fair fight? Check both fighters' identification at the weigh-in and again before every round, so the only Saddam in the ring is the real one.
