The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Snake by Decision. Snake wins on decision. Murphy, rejected by the Marines and paratroopers for being too small, keeps marching in, but the 17 cm taller Snake's close-quarters jabs stack up. Snake is wheezing by round three, being a heavy smoker, yet still takes the scorecards.
Fair fight? Stretch it to fifteen rounds. Snake's smoking catches up with him, while Murphy, who lied his way into the army at 17, will happily keep coming.
