The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Churchill by DQ. Lincoln, 25 cm taller and a legendary wrestler, keeps out-boxing the stocky, cigar-puffing Churchill for two rounds. But old habits win: Lincoln hoists him into a rail-splitting throw, and the referee disqualifies him on the spot. Churchill, still catching his breath, raises a fist and calls for a nap.
Fair fight? Hold it under catch-as-catch-can wrestling rules instead of boxing, letting Lincoln's actual skill decide it without a DQ.
