Anyone who saw that fight would see it's obvious that in a straight up fight Oberyn was superior.

Dude, Oberyn absolutely destroyed Gregor, he could have easily finished him off but he wanted to keep him alive long enough to make him confess and that combined with his arrogance allowed Gregor to surprise him and kill him.Anyone who saw that fight would see it's obvious that in a straight up fight Oberyn was superior.
Under ideal circumstances maybe, but I'm not ignoring his CIS and taking that into account The Mountain was obviously going to win.

The Mountain was not *obviously* going to win, and even with Oberyn's arrogance and need to keep the Mountain alive just a little longer, it wasn't at all a given that the Mountain would be able to turn the tables. It's easy to envision a scenario where Oberyn keeps his guard up and doesn't get taken down because at that point he had every advantage.

If it wasn't for Oberyn's squire having an extra spear, Gregor would have killed him sooner.
Game of Thrones doesn't operate under A>B>C logic, so you'd have to be a piss-eating cock-sucking retard to use it. Both Gregor and Oberyn are in the top tier in the setting. Though Oberyn was showboating at first, he had several close calls in the fight and it was clear that a single mistake would cost him his life. And did, in fact.

Though the size difference between the two is not as drastic as it was in the books, Gregor should still be stronger. Perhaps more importantly, he's a trained knight, whereas Bran is a crippled boy with no combat experience.Gregor should win pretty easily.
This. Right. Here.
Even equalizing their strength, it's a well trained warrior vs a boy in terms of skill. Who ever thinks this is a close fight is an idiot assclown.
