Benito Mussolini

The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Hitmonchan by TKO. Hitmonchan wins by TKO in round two. Mussolini strikes a bare-chested harvest pose, then finds the punches arrive faster than any photographer's shutter. He is 29 cm taller, but that just gives Hitmonchan a large, well-lit target, and the referee steps in.
Fair fight? Let Hitmonchan fight with one hand tied behind its back, and swap Mussolini's photographer for an actual boxing trainer for the whole camp.
