Theodore Roosevelt

Led the Rough Riders at San Juan Hill in 1898, then became the 26th US President. A keen boxer until a punch in a White House sparring session cost him the sight in his left eye.
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)
Roosevelt by DQ. Zangief dominates on size, but Roosevelt, 35 cm shorter, keeps walking forward through everything, like a man who once finished a speech with a bullet in his chest. Midway through round two, Zangief clinches, hoists him skyward and spins. The referee disqualifies the Red Cyclone.
Fair fight? Move it to a wrestling ring where throws are legal, so Zangief can't be disqualified for his favourite move and Roosevelt can answer with the judo he practised in the White House.
