Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Hitmonchan by Decision. Hitmonchan wins on the scorecards. Kirby puffs up and bobs around the ring like a pink balloon, bouncing off the ropes and refusing to stay down. He's too tough to stop, but Hitmonchan's clean, fast punches take all three rounds.
Fair fight? Make Hitmonchan fight on his knees the whole bout, so he isn't punching down at a target 120 cm below him, and let Kirby's corner bring a bigger headband.
