Horatio Nelson

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.
Zangief
“The Red Cyclone” · Street Fighter · 1991 · 7′0″ (213 cm), 256 lb (116 kg)
Russian pro wrestler who trains by wrestling bears in the Siberian snow. Loves his country, his muscles and the Spinning Piledriver.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Nelson by DQ. Zangief, 56 kg heavier, dances around the ring in round one, then reaches for the Spinning Piledriver out of habit. The referee disqualifies him on the spot. Nelson, seasick even on solid canvas, wins by DQ. England expected, and the rulebook delivered.
Fair fight? Tie one of Zangief's arms behind his back to match Nelson's, keep the piledriver banned, and put Nelson's corner on a steady, non-swaying stool.
