[Other Sport] WHC CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS: Semi Final 1

[martin tyler]

Form is temporary, class is permanent. The Honey Badger always digs deep to get the result in the end.

I said that once about Locadia when he scored against Arsenal. Unfortunately for him it was the other way around

I can see this going the way of the Brexit thread into the bear pit.

All this anger about a fantasy contest Think I need to get a gang of friends to create an account each ........

Would it be too obvious if they were called friends of animals from the warmer climes 1,2,3 etc?

Come on light hearted fishing.
But if you are going to do that at least have creative names like HB2 and HB3 nothing to obvious hey

 

[Pint of Ale and a Burger]

Incorrect.

A Honey Badger's claws unlike a Polar Bear are designed for digging not shredding and piercing.

So already the Polar Bear is equipped with an extra weapon.

Honey Badgers are also restricted in its ability to come from different angles of attack.

The Polar Bear can fight on four and two legged stance. The Honey Badger cannot.

Then there's the intelligence levels, Polar Bars are smarter than Honey Badgers so are capable of assessing a fight situation to a far higher level.

I agree with everything except the intelligence in which I think they are evenly matched but the honey badger has better problem solving skills.
But I will also add despite the honey badgers reputation fearless ferocity to take on lions,hyenas etc they do often lose and get killed.
The honey badger relies on the lion or hyena not wanting to lose an eye in a meaningless fight so it is unable to hunt.
But if the lion is hungry enough or grumpy enough the honey badger will generally be killed and eaten.

 

[Wait there's a shrimp?]

It is a very strange form of democracy you seem to have in England. I see that the fearsome Mantis Shrimp accumulated the impressive sum of over 1m votes, obliterating the opposition, and yet it does not appear to have made the semi-final.

It would seem that some form of skullduggery is afoot. Skullduggery akin to that witnessed in votes recently completed in other developing nations, such as the US.

It is clear that the beneficiaries cannot benefit from such underhand tactics.

Accordingly, I cast my vote for the Polar Bear.

I leave you with my now customary greeting: Piss Off, Timmy. It's just a shame he will not see be able to see my salutation.

FFS! Not the bloody Honeybadger again.

It's like the Burnley of hard animals. It's so bloody stupid and boring.

To be fair, dull though they might be, if there was a world's hardest EPL teams, Burnley would also make the final year after year.

Whereas the Polar Bear has only one threat. Mankind.

 

[Surf's Up]

Hmmmmm, as ever I sniff Mod involvement and the use of 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th accounts....sad the extent to which some people will gout it goes to show what a truly intimidating hard nut monster the badger is

As magnificent as the polar bear is, it’s got the run of the place. While it has impeccable hunting credentials, there’s nothing challenging it. It never really has to have a good old fashioned dust up.

The honey badger? One of the smallest kids on the block in an environment packed full of killers and it’ll pick a fight with any of them. Proper bampot is what it is.

That's why they don't get killed by the apex predators often , they taste like crap.

The Polar Bear has to face the worlds most dangerous apex predator, man.

Just over 30 minutes to go. If you haven't voted already do it now!

The Polar bear leads by five votes in whathas been an EPIC semi final. Once the H.B got his nose in front I didn't think he'd relinquish the lead but P.B has been relentless and is now half an hour away from the final.

Does the Honey Badger have one last push in him or is he done?

Not long until we find out...

 

[maltaseagull]

Polar Bear for me. Will track you for miles and miles if needed. Relentless.

That's because there are few alternative food sources though.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Excellent contest. Respect to the Badger for a valiant fight, but the Hardest Animal was victorious.

 

[midnight_rendezvous]

The irony is, a regular sized Honey Badger would still have a go at a regular sized Polar Bear if it got the chance. I’m not sure the Badger would win but the Polar Bear would be scarred (both emotionally & physically) for the rest of it’s life.

But is picking a fight you can’t win ‘hard’ or just stupid?

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

It's over!

And what a contest it was. Polar Bear looks back to his best defeating the peoples champion by 82 votes to 77. An incredible effort by both combatants but there can only be one winner and this time it was Polar bear marching into his fourth final. It should be pointed out that P.B has NEVER lost a final...

Please show full appreciation as both beasts leave the arena.

Now for semi final 2!

 

[Audax]

Damn it, only just seen this thread despite being on a few times in last 2 days. Oh well, my 1 vote for HB wouldn't have changed the result.

 

[MattBackHome]

Fix

 

[Commander]

Usual conspiracy against the HB. Absolute bullshit.

It should leave and set up its own competition away from the corruption and vote-rigging here. Just like England should with FIFA.
