Lancer vs. Max Sterling (from the Robotech comics)

The top pilot in the RDF from Macross vs. the crafty intelligence officer/singer (and cross-dresser) from Mospeada (New Generation). Who would win in hand-to-hand combat?

I think Lancer is probably tougher in hand-to-hand combat, Max would take it in the air of course. But I recall Max holding his own in a fight with Mirya.

What do you think?

I can only comment on battlesuit fighting. And max is the baddest of the bad. He would annhilate anyone in combat. I don't know about hand to hand for either one.
