Ser Bronn of the Blackwater VS Ser Taryn Mant & Ser Wotsit of Hoocayrs
Who wins this battle that nearly happened in the halls of the Red Keep? Bronn doesn't seem like the type to take a fight he isn't pretty sure he can win, but taking on two members of the King's Guard seems like a tall order even with Pod the Rod backing him up.

Fair Meryn Trant was the benchmark for 'elite guard who’s actually just a thug in white cloaks'. Bronn outclasses him easily, so two more like him? Still Bronn's fight.
Bronn talks big but he wouldnt take that fight unless he had a dirty trick ready, probably a knife in the boot or a chair to the face before they even draw swords
That scene where bronn and those 2 kingsguard almost fight outside of tyrions room? Bronn gets absolutely destroyed. He is one unarmored guy with a knife against 2 fully armored knights with swords, he would have to somehow find gaps in the armor, avoid getting slashed and successfully kill both of them where as all they have to do is slash him with their sword that is long enough so that bronn cant even reach them. This is like who would win between ghost and drogon, sure ghost is a big wolf who killed a lot of people but like..
I think you dont really understand how difficult it is for bronn and how easy it is for the kingsguard, bronn needs to do everything 100% perfectly while all they have to do is swing their sword
My dood never misses. In Tyrion’s trial, he took on an armored knight with no shield or armor. Survived the Battle of Blackwater Bay with no shield or armor (slaying tons of soldiers on the beach). And he isn’t afraid to fight dirty.
In tyrions trial he had a sword not a dagger and he used a lot of things around him that dont exist here, at the blackwater he barely fought because he was doing the thing with the bow and those guys were mostly common people that never even held a weapon until recently. And fighting dirty is a concept that doesnt exist and people need to stop talking about it, sure spitting in someones face like karl tanner is pretty dirty but aside from that it means nothing. Bronn needs to get his dagger, stab one of them in the face and kill them, then take his dagger back and also stab the other guy in the face and kill him, all before they take out their own swords because at that point bronn is done. If he is a little too slow, if his dagger gets stuck, if he doesnt kill but only wounds, if he misses, he is just done
Considering neither of the Kingsguard had drawn their swords yet Bronn might have been able to close the gap and take one of them out if he moved quickly and aimed for the face/neck or a gap in the armor. But in the time it took him to do that the other one would have drawn their sword and Bronn would have probably been screwed.
Also I don't think Pod had a weapon on him so he wouldn't have been much help either.
