Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Machamp by TKO. Machamp wins by TKO in round one. Grant stays calm under fire, but he's 69 kg lighter and facing four fists, and there's no horse to jump. The referee stops it while Grant is still refusing to surrender.
Fair fight? Strap two of Machamp's arms to its sides so it fights with a normal pair of fists, and Grant only has to worry about two.
