Oh God
Hound vs Brienne

HBO GGRM is just the ultimate troll :D
He know how much fans are into X vs Y trying to apply every story detail to create elaborate theories about why one will "surely"win, even that short exchange of Eddard vs Jamie causd massive shitstorm even without have a clear result/winner and being very short
"NOOOOOO muh book Jamie will have decapitated Ned at 2nd attack! GRRM said he's teh awesome shit with a talent level 9000 when eddard is average wtf lulz eh!!1 "

I've even liked that Ned vs Jaime scene. There you see what imho a lot of fans/readers don't get: there is no dragon ball z power levels in GRRM world, there's not absolute invincible hewillwin10out10 best (aside maybe Arthur Dayne wich is is part of the past, so he can be the iconic legend without disturb to much the story being an actual character).
Ned was fucking war veteran who fought many battles, killed many men and he is (was) still there, he was just the most humble dude of that universe, ever ready to say how everyone else is awesome compared to himself, if he was allowed to change Stak motto he will switch from "winter is coming" to "hi, i'm Ned and i'm average at best" :D
Meanwhile Jamie wa the rich, goodlooking, Lannister only true lion ever into tourneys and jousters who fucking love the spotlight and brag about "Arthur Dayne teach me Shoryuken".
Don't misunderstand, Jamie had his battles and was truly that good, but give a sword to two very skilled and experienced warriors and there is not "100% sure" about who will be the one to last standing... for a "draw" after a short study exchange the shitstorm was priceless :D

But man, dat Hound vs Brienne
GRRM (hbo will not do shit without his approval) took th ultimate terminator alpha revenge badass "fuck water fuck the king" and make him lose a duel to Brienne
Not even a duel
An ultimate berserk brawl survival fistfight duel
They made her "win" fair
Then let him trick his way to round 2 when she was'nt in the mood to do a fatality
Let him go full mount with a 150kg of man+armor unleashing an almost Fedor-approved ground and pound, punching and headbutting without get teh KO, TKO, doctor stoppage or even causing visible face damage

Then she recover Rocky style and goes for total asura's wrath destruction, just to remember tha she want be Arya's babysitter when the hound is still rolling down the mountan :D

Now it's the time of the "but she had a rock!" and "but he got that infected bite wound" and "100% healthy Hound win it in 10 secondz"

Deal with it, you got trolled

Even with my jimmies still rustled i applaud you, Mr. Martin

Good point about the realism. Very few supah powah in GoT. Couple exceptions though.
1. Barristan Selmy. Haven't read the book or anything but he's supposed to be god-like. That episode when he drew his sword in the throne room. Lannister & Co. all had genuine looks of concern on their faces lol. OP status unverified, but dat's how you quit like a bauss.
2. Serio Forel. 5 or so killing spree wit wooden sword? Dat's pretty OP.
3. Jaqen H'ghar. Maybe he's got some Navy SEALS and Green Berets on his payroll. Either way the stuff he does (too fast, too stealthy) would be impossible IRL.

On the subject of fights. Bronn vs. Ser Vardis was classic Dark Souls PVP. Hit, run, flask, troll, Praise the Sun. Heard the book version was more equal tho.

Edit: On that note, why the fuck didn't Serio pick up one of dem real swords? He definitely fast enough.
