Now starts the most important battle of the night. Krasimir Kostadinov from Bulgaria is one of the best pullers in heavyweight division. He has been winning the Worlds and Europeans for some years already and his second place finishing in Nemiroff Superheavyweight class was very unexpected. He also beat John Brzenk in Turkey couple of years ago. Only 3 weeks ago he won the worlds in Malaysia in 242 pounds class. From other side Tim has been considered amongst the best superheavyweight. He has wins against most of the best super heavyweights in the world. I have already written my opinion about this supermatch before so I am not going to repeat my thoughts.

Waiting for the athletes to step up to the stage..Slip happens.. Now the strap time.. Wow.. Tim just curls his wrist and pins Krasimir and Krasimir could not resist at all.. I knew that Tim would be the one who would be the one to attack first, his pronation and wrist strength allows him to have great advantage.. Krasimir's only chance is to stop Tim somewhere high.

Round two Krasimir tries to hook Tim without strap but he just can not, then he tries to go for an outside move but gets an elbow foul. This time Krasimir directly tries to go outside and he seems to be succesful enough to get out of Tim's hand. Tim gets an elbow foul during the slip. At the third start of the second round athletes go outside battle once again. This time Tim holds on and pins Krasimir after about 10 seconds long match. Krasimir's front wrist drops during this hand battle. Tim is too big for Krasimir and Krasimir fights good for his size.

Round three is about to start, another hand battle and it ends with a slip..Now athletes go for the strap match same as the first round..Krasimir seemed to be going for a side move but his wrist is toprolled and then he quickly switches for hook but it was too late to recover from such position..It is now 3-0 for Tim. I must say that the strength difference between the athletes is bigger than what i was guessing. Tim esspecially in strap looked untouchable for Krasimir.

Tim's pronator strength is too much for Krasimir's wrist. Krasimir's interview before the match showed me that he kind of misjudged Tim's strength and abilities as he said intead of hooking he should go more for side way but Tim's pronator is too solid to be flashed or controlled that way.

They go for round four, they directly go for the strap as both athletes agree about it. Krasi seems to be getting ready for a toproll now but he just got flashed by Tim. Tim is clearly too much for Krasimir.

To me if Krasi has any chance then that is going for a deep hook right way to catch Tim before the pin pad. But honestly even that does not seem to be possible tonight. And yes Krasimir tried that move and hooked and resisted good to stopped Tim but then went for toproll again and received an elbow foul. Re-start he did the same thing and hooked Tim and continued there but Tim's pronator was too strong for Krasimir. Now it is 5-0 for Tim.

The last round is about to start, i know that it is an upset for Krasimir who is young has big dreams. Krasimir hits side way but they end up with hand battle and Tim gets an elbow foul. Re-start Krasimir hits side way gets stopped by Tim and Tim pins him comfortably.

Tim seems to be in a great shape and he looks like ready for Alexy Voevoda. Of course that Alexy will be another story but Tim showed that he is a very serious opponent for anyone as of now. The final score of the Vendetta is Tim Bresnan 6- Krasimir Kostadinov 0.
