How can anyone vote for a creature whose name is synonymous with puniness? This country.
That's a bit harsh. Soft, cute and cuddly they may be, but I wouldn't call badgers puny.

This competition is sooo corrupt. Hope you badger mongs are happy now, you got your wish

It's a travesty. I wouldn't be surprised if the shrimp refused to take part next year
It simply HAS to be the honey badger.
FINALLY, after years of this competition, we have a final that is WORTHY because at last, people have come to understand the point of the competition. I just wish the propaganda would stop - there's no need to try and discredit one or the other, or vote tactically, just judge it on its merits.
I have for many years been pro badger, but the shrimp has won my heart this year. A tough call.
In a pound for pound fight, the shrimp has all the attributes of a SUPERHERO. Human-sized, it could punch a FERRY over the MOON. It boils the water around it, it hits so fast. It's basically the LOVECHILD of THE FLASH and THE HULK, wearing JOSEPH'S TECHNICOLOUR DREAMCOAT and SCUBA GEAR. That is flair, and me likey. However, I'm not sure about its mentality - IMO this competition is also about a willingness to fight, or even a love for it, as well as the ability to do well in one. I'm not convinced the shrimp isn't just a pacifist with a karate belt.
The HB on the other hand is the bar brawler, he goes out looking for trouble and bloody loves getting stuck in. The sort of bloke who'd get his pint spiked and still KICK someone through a WINDOW before KNOBBING their wife, just BECAUSE. The sort of guy who loves a SCAR because life's too short not to have stories. We've also seen him take punishment from bigger animals, venomous ones even, but he just SLEEPS IT OFF and GOES AGAIN. He's the FROCH of this fight - not technically the best and takes a lot on the chin, but has the heart of a WARRIOR, and just keeps getting up.
Aaaarrgh, so tough, it's 50/50. But after much deliberation I vote HB, because I think it's finally his turn, I admire the longevity and enduring appeal. The Shrimp will be back bigger and stronger next year and is an inevitable future winner. That said I'll be happy either way, dream final, worthy winners the pair of them. Thank Christ this year the HARDEST went FURTHEST, not the BIGGEST, and it didn't descend into a Lion/Tiger or Shark/Orca FARCE like previous years.
A reminder why the SHRIMP is the Daddy
Sake. Didn't work - just go here:

If the shrimp was equal size to the badger, it would also scare away a pride of lions. YOU KNOW THAT
I submit that on the basis of passion, aggression, will-to-fight and sheer don'tgivea****ery - the Honey Badger deserves this.
Honey Badger versus 6 LIONS

Is there a clip of a shark being stupid enough to take on a mantis shrimp?Yes, six lions (ok lionesses) but the HB takes no guano from them. Is there an equivalent clip of a shrimp seeing off 6 sharks?
Wow. Shrimp is making a REAL contest of this.
