Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Hussein by TKO. Nineteen centimeters and fifteen kilos of pure mass difference win this one early. Mussolini's fencing and riding poses look great on a postcard but do nothing against a bigger man leaning on him in the corner, and his corner throws in the towel once he stops answering back.
Fair fight? Cap the ring at Mussolini's height so Saddam can't just lean down and smother him from above.
