The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Hitmonchan by DQ. Hitmonchan wins by DQ. It circles Roosevelt's blind left side, peppering him with jabs, until the president loses patience in round two and judo-throws a much smaller boxer over his hip. Throws are fouls here, so the referee disqualifies him.
Fair fight? Move the bout to a judo mat where throws are legal. Roosevelt gets his best move back, and Hitmonchan finds out what fighting someone 50 kg heavier feels like.
