Deathblade's "The Lord of the Rings vs The King Under the Mountain" edges

LoTR Sauron vs Book version of Smaug. Let's start.

Weapons: Sauron. A mace, the Ring and a sword against scales, claws, teeth and fire? Not hard to decipher the winner there.

Abilities: Sauron. His master Morgoth created dragons and Sauron can control fire. He also has near limitless power so yeah not much of a battle against Smaug.

Winner: Sauron. Better weapons + Better powers = Better warrior.
