The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Hitmonchan by Decision. Hitmonchan wins on decision. Murphy, once rejected by the Marines for being too small, is finally the big one in the ring, but a title-chasing boxer's spirit outpoints him every round while he refuses to go down. Three rounds, zero knockdowns.
Fair fight? Cap Hitmonchan at one punch per exchange, so Murphy's 25 cm height advantage finally counts for something. Otherwise, hand Murphy a bell-ringing cornerman who shouts "just hit the small one."
