Pick the winner and how they win (TKO, DQ or decision), then see how everyone else called it.
Horatio Nelson
“Hero of the Nile” · United Kingdom · 1758–1805 · about 5′5″ (165 cm), about 132 lb (60 kg)
British admiral who destroyed the French and Spanish fleets at Trafalgar in 1805 and died at the moment of victory. Fought on after losing the sight of one eye and most of his right arm.
Ryu
“The Wandering Warrior” · Street Fighter · 1987 · 5′9″ (175 cm), 187 lb (85 kg)
Wandering martial artist who lives only for the next fight. Master of the Hadoken, which he has been asked to leave at home tonight.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Ryu by TKO. Ryu wins by TKO in round two. Nelson advances with "England expects" spirit, but one Shoryuken from a man 25 kg heavier ends it and the referee stops the fight. The ring doesn't rock, so Nelson can't blame seasickness.
Fair fight? Tie one of Ryu's arms behind his back so both men fight one-armed, and make Ryu give Nelson a 10 kg weight allowance in the form of a heavier gi.
