The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Little Mac by DQ. Mario is 22 kg heavier, but Little Mac has built a career punching up. Midway through round two, Mario does what Mario does, triple-jumping into a stomp on Mac's head. The referee disqualifies him, and Doc Louis celebrates by pedalling his bicycle around the ring.
Fair fight? Glue Mario's boots to the canvas so he can't jump. Then it's a plain punch-up between two short men, which is exactly the fight Mac trains for.
