Audie Murphy
“To Hell and Back” · United States · 1925–1971 · about 5′5″ (165 cm), about 110 lb (50 kg)
The most decorated American soldier of the Second World War. Won the Medal of Honor at 19 by holding off a German company alone from atop a burning tank destroyer. Later a Hollywood star.
Yoshi
“T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas” · Nintendo · 1990 · about 5′3″ (160 cm), about 132 lb (60 kg)
Friendly green dinosaur and Mario’s loyal ride since Super Mario World. Swallows enemies whole with a long tongue and turns them into eggs. Nintendo has never published his measurements.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Murphy by DQ. Yoshi flutter-jumps around the ring, but Murphy, who once held off a company alone, just waits. Yoshi finally ground-pounds, which is a stomp, and the referee disqualifies him. Murphy wins by DQ without ever being knocked down.
Fair fight? Make the ground-pound legal for this bout only, so Yoshi's signature move stops being a foul. Murphy, 10 kg lighter, would also need a stool to reach the flutter-jumping Yoshi.
