The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Lincoln by TKO. Lincoln, a Hall of Fame wrestler who reportedly lost once in roughly 300 matches, clinches and man-handles Saddam against the ropes until the corner throws in the towel. Saddam, more used to commanding palace guards than absorbing frontier grip strength, has no answer once the fists start landing.
Fair fight? Let Saddam send in a body double first round to scout Lincoln before he steps in himself.
