The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Genghis by DQ. Lincoln, 23 cm taller, has the better of the early rounds until his frontier wrestling instincts kick in. In round two he hoists Genghis for a throw, and the referee disqualifies him. Genghis wins by DQ, having mostly been a very small, very airborne passenger.
Fair fight? Move the bout to a wrestling mat with throws legal, so Lincoln's Hall of Fame habit is a skill instead of a foul, and let Genghis bring a much bigger team.
