User blog comment:El Alamein/Venator vs. Giant Short-Faced Bear/@comment-8012490-20130808153445

Short Ranged: The net and whip are not very lethal weapons and will only annoy the bear. The bear's jaw will crush bone and kill people. Edge: Bear.

Mid Ranged: The spear was a great weapon and the original weapon used to fight the short faced bear. The bear's claws don't have as much range. Edge: Venator.

Abilities: The Venator's armor is no match for the overall abilities of the short faced bear. Edge: Bear.

Psychological Warefare: The bear cannot be out-psyched weheras the gladiator can. Edge: Bear.

Stratagy: The short faced bear is not that intelligent compaired to humans. The gladiators have better tactics. Edge: Venator.

Combat Experience: The venator and short faced bear both may have faced numerous foes before. Edge: Draw.

Endurance: The short faced bear wins. It has inhuman endurance. Edge: Bear.

Intelligence/Creativity: The venator, for having human intelligence, wins. Edge: Venator.

Weapon Use: The venator wins due to actual tequniques and training. Edge: Venator.

My vote goes to the short faced bear.
