General opinion is that the Bear (Russia, ie, Putin) has always shied away from full frontal confrontation with the Eagle (USA, ie, Obama). But let's look at a champion vs champion match.
As we've said before, Putin has experience in Sambo, Judo, Karate and not to mention what's cooking in KGB labs. So it's fair to assume his ground game is strong. But Obama's the taller, rangier man and media outlets have reported that the former POTUS is a cardio machine. Obama also played his share of basketball and that ingrains a certain amount of athleticism from driving and precision from shooting - meaning footwork and striking accuracy. So we're expecting this to go down like Whittaker vs Romero, with Obama keeping Putin on the outside and picking his shots en route to a UD.
