The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Hitmonchan by TKO. Grant stays admirably calm under fire, which is unfortunate because he's the one being fired at. His record-setting high jump needs a horse, and the ring has none. Hitmonchan's boxer spirit works him over until the referee stops it in round three.
Fair fight? Let Grant ride a horse in the ring. Hitmonchan would be punching at hooves, and Grant could calmly canter away to a decision.
