The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Zangief by TKO. Mussolini adopts his bare-chested harvest pose, but Zangief has bear scars and Mussolini has photographer's angles. The fencing lunge has to cover a 44 cm height gap to reach anything, and the referee stops it in round one as Zangief dances back to his corner.
Fair fight? Make Zangief fight kneeling to erase the 44 cm height gap, and give Mussolini a ringside photographer so he can at least look good while losing more slowly.
