The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Zangief by TKO. Knuckles' spiked fists hit hard, but Zangief has wrestled bears and is 103 cm taller, so he just walks through them. Knuckles keeps falling for feints, much like Eggman's tricks. In round two the referee stops it as Zangief's jab lands: a TKO.
Fair fight? Fight inside a tall cage instead of a ring, so Knuckles can climb the walls and glide down onto Zangief, who is 76 kg heavier.
