Yoshi
“T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas” · Nintendo · 1990 · about 5′3″ (160 cm), about 132 lb (60 kg)

The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Little Mac by TKO. Yoshi flutter-jumps, legs pedalling, which keeps him off the canvas but leaves his chin wide open. Little Mac, fit from years of chasing Doc Louis's bicycle, times a Star Punch uppercut under the hovering dinosaur. The referee waves it off in round two.
Fair fight? Ban the Star Punch uppercut, and Yoshi's extra 18 cm and 12 kg could carry a points win, provided he stays on the ground.
