The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Lincoln by DQ. Lincoln's old frontier footwork and longer frame keep Patton missing all night, and the general's temper — the same one that got him reprimanded for slapping soldiers — boils over. Patton snaps, hurls Lincoln to the canvas with an old-fashioned throw, and the referee disqualifies him on the spot.
Fair fight? Give Patton a corner man whose only job is holding his arms down between rounds, so the ivory-handled temper stays out of the fight.
