Pick the winner and how they win (TKO, DQ or decision), then see how everyone else called it.
Kirby
“The Pink Puffball” · Nintendo · 1992 · 0′8″ (20 cm), about 4 lb (2 kg)
Round pink hero of Dream Land who inhales enemies and copies their powers. Officially about 20 cm tall, and far tougher than he looks.
Little Mac
“The Kid from the Bronx” · Punch-Out!! · 1987 · 4′8″ (142 cm), 107 lb (48.5 kg)
Seventeen-year-old boxer from the Bronx who punches his way up the rankings against opponents twice his size, coached by Doc Louis. Listed at 4′8″ and 107 lb in the original Punch-Out!!
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Little Mac by Decision. Little Mac, 47 kg heavier and 122 cm taller, spends nine minutes stooping to hit a floating pink target. His Star Punch uppercut finds only air. Kirby puffs up and drifts away, too tough to stop, but Mac's steady jabs sweep the scorecards for a decision.
Fair fight? Make Mac fight on his knees so the punches are level with Kirby, and let Kirby wear the Fighter headband for a bit of technique.
