Abraham Lincoln
“Honest Abe” · United States · 1809–1865 · 6′4″ (193 cm), about 181 lb (82 kg)
16th US President and commander-in-chief through the Civil War. As a young man, a feared frontier wrestler said to have lost only once in about 300 matches. In the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.
Ryu
“The Wandering Warrior” · Street Fighter · 1987 · 5′9″ (175 cm), 187 lb (85 kg)
Wandering martial artist who lives only for the next fight. Master of the Hadoken, which he has been asked to leave at home tonight.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Ryu by DQ. Lincoln, 18 cm taller, out-points Ryu for two rounds. In round three his Hall of Fame instincts kick in and he hoists Ryu off the canvas mid-clinch. The referee disqualifies him, and Ryu wins by DQ in the same white gi he arrived in.
Fair fight? Switch to wrestling rules, where Lincoln's Hall of Fame skills are legal, and Ryu has to work out how to uppercut a man who keeps taking him to the mat.
