The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Ryu by TKO. Hitmonchan's blurry jabs land, but with Fire, Ice and Thunder Punch banned, it's a 140 cm boxer with a Jackie Chan pun for a name. Ryu, 35 kg heavier, absorbs the flurry in his same old white gi, lands one Shoryuken uppercut, and the referee stops it in round two.
Fair fight? Hand Hitmonchan back its Fire, Ice and Thunder Punch, and only Hitmonchan. That would help offset a 35 cm and 35 kg gap.
