The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Little Mac by TKO. Saddam is 47 kg heavier, but Mac has spent a career dodging opponents twice his size, and Saddam's fitness comes from palaces, not roadwork. Mac jogs circles, lands a Star Punch, and the referee stops it in round two while Saddam looks for a body double.
Fair fight? Give Saddam a real training camp with Doc Louis on the bicycle, or make Mac fight blindfolded. Otherwise the 46 cm height gap is the only thing keeping this from being a massacre.
