This is a tribute to The Mask of Zorro. Zorro is a pretty decent fighter although he certainly got old and started losing more fights. I’d say he still looked good enough to earn himself a win. Bud Macintosh is one of the more unlikable film protagonists. The guy doesn’t know when to get serious and he certainly can’t fight. Even an elderly Zorro would likely be able to beat him quite easily. Zorro is a fencing master after all so he’s used to taking on all manner of opponents. Zorro wins.
Unless Bud can get a gun (from a straw dealer or not), what’s to stop Zorro from cutting him like Jambon?
Yeah Bud would absolutely need a gun here in order to stand a chance. Otherwise Zorro’s just way too good
