Nor should it. The difference between Sandor and the Vale Knight is that Sandor is one of the toughest, most durable, most stamina having bastards in Westeros. He should be dead. No way around it. But he's just fine.
Sandor is also an insanely good fighter who knows how to use tactics and foul play to win. Like when he was teaching Arya about Needle and how it being so slender and tiny wouldn't get through plate armor. Then he kicked her in the chest because he was bigger and stronger and proving a point.
Bronn would be hard pressed to win this fight. And the ones he takes are more luck/f*ck ups on Hound's part.
1. I don't think he has thrown them at armored opponents but I was just stating that he does throw daggers so doing so wouldn't be out of character for him. I thought you were of the opinion that Bronn doesn't toss daggers but I it looks like we both agree he does. My bad. And yeah it's debatable how effective they might be
2. Someone posted the video so no need to dwell on this. I don't think Sandor would get rope-a-doped
3. Yes I know he has but current Sandor doesn't wear armor and hasn't in a min so I personally wouldn't consider it standard at this point. Now OP has stated he wants armor for Sandor so armor it is.
Understandable. Sandor looks like a dumb brute but he's actually a clever guy. I doubt Bronn would so easily bait him
Yeah but cunning won't help you much when you're in a straight up fight against a much better fighter. Otherwise nerds would wipe the floor with jocks in straight up fist fights.
The Hound is bigger and much stronger, plus he has superior combat feats. That knight that Bronn beat via trickery in Tyrion's trial by combat would have been cut to pieces by the Hound.
Bronn did defeat the Vale knight. But he got his ass handed to him by that Dothraki Bloodrider and had to haul ass out of there. Sandor's just got tons more fights and wins. Even his one real loss is extremely circumstantial. Brienne of Tarth would be dead if Hound had been 100% when they fought.
Yeah, if anything, Sandor consistently shows more common sense, intelligence and situational awareness than most GoT characters do. Granted, he does have the odd dunce moment (like throwing rocks at a zombie soldier), but those moments tend to be relatively rare.

Anyways, I back Sandor simply cause it's a duel. He's fought his brother briefly, he fought Brienne, he's fought wights, he's fought a tavern full of soldiers, he's fought those clowns in Season 6 that killed Ian McShane and co. He's fought with swords, warhammers, in duels, on battlefields.
With a duel setup like the OP here, Hound all the way.
In a battle or a duel in something like a warehouse with cover, concealment, and objects to use, Bronn.
