I appreciate how goofy this fight is. It's like the Three Stooges, except there are only two and they're both intelligent animals. Intelligent respective to their species, anyway.

Definitely, seemed like it was a good opportunity for Mali to stretch the comedy muscles again ala the Hercule vs Dan OMM.
Little salty about the kill though. seemed a bit petty.
 
As for the actual question, I'd say something like this.
Round 1: Knuckles, he has many more super forms than just Hyper Knuckles in this one and quite a few stronger, With IIRC Enerjak being a literal god. Not to mention he's legitimately smart as opposed to Sonic Boom and sometimes the games. Chaos Knuckles or Enerjak stomp.
Round 2: DK has shown stronger moves than Knuckles. Unless we consider the Knocking the Super out of Sonic thing to not be an outlier, Knuckles ain't chuckling this time.
Round 3: Enerjak or Chaos Knuckles still stand too tall compared to DK.

I just accept that they have a hard time deciding how to actually end it so at some point they just decide "this move kills" since the animations don't actually influence the result.
