2nd pin wasnt a pin. Commentators could tell.

[@EverlastGX]

Bad commentators. They should say clearly it was not valid

[@MADMAN-bg3zj]

Even Barboza could tell

[@AtTheSourceStudios]

I agree but I think Marcio was gonna take it either way. Just going off the third match I think he would've won another round if there was one.

[@davidbarber7436]

To close to call I think. Just like the commentators said. Could have been, but also could not have been. Soooo close. But those other pins were very very good.

[@davidbarber7436]

Just a question with all due respect, how do you think it would have gone if they had to restart on the second? I was thinking about this alot myself.

[@michael2305]

Marcio: I thank my family they are here with me win or lose, it means everything to me. Interviewer: So tell us what does it mean to you to have your family here?

I am from Bulgaria and I am sure that the second round wasn’t pin for Marcio...

[@DropkickNation]

In other words: I am biased and here to say so.

[@Dmgolfer22]

Either way. They couldn’t reverse it. Too close to overturn. Couldn’t really tell on the replay. Flip it around, if they didn’t call the pin and reviewed it, they wouldn’t of overturned it to a pin. Although, Marcio did had the advantage in that match before the pin call.

No matter how strong he gets he has to work on his table IQ or he will continue to lose to people like Devon Larrat and Michael Todd that know where he is weak. You can't just hook everyone unless your name is Denis or Levan.

@@mumpygumboo8554 Yes, and what people don't realize bigger muscles hurt your endurance because those huge muscles are fighting for blood and lactic acid builds up more quickly.

[@mumpygumboo8554]

@@rileyneufeld7001 And, they're likely fast twitch muscles, anyway. Not slow twitch, endurance kind. And, perhaps what you outline is one of the major differences between the two kinds of muscle. Interesting, though, Matt Mask, and how fast he moves with such power. But, on the other hand, not much for endurance (but improving, I think), nor brute strength, compared to Barboza or other beefed up competitors. I find WAL much more entertaining than boxing or MMA fights; it's more about sportsmanship and healthy rivalries, and it's so much fun to watch the facial expressions up close and hear the trash talking before the matches (as well as the praise afterwards).

[@haroutnajarian777]

Best match of the night

[@freeflowme]

As a casual observer of the sport, I don’t know what exactly constitutes a pin. It looked to me like the back of Konstantinovs wrist touched parallel with the plane of the pin. Like exactly parallel but no more. Does that constitute a win?

[@yellowpanda738]

Yup it was

[@BrewCityRider]

Good to see Barboza finally win one!

[@Grant-vk6zo]

Kras looking great at Zloty. Strange how much format changes things. Supermatch is slow burn but tournament is a Drag Race.

Also, I think the travel jacks you up too. When Americans go east, they under perform. When Easterns travel to America, they under perform.

[@Joncka]

The first slip was a clear pin for Marcio, but Bart called straps.

[@ratonautonomo8963]

Great arm wrestlers in my book, Marcio more versatile IMO. Kostadinov stronger pound for pound, but he may not be a real heavyweight, since he started at 90 kg I guess, and Marcio has always walked above that weight. IMO that pin ruined a beautiful display of arm wrestling.

[@NSB25445]

It doesn't matter what the call was. Krasimir got outarmwrestled. I love Krasi because he gives hope to people of our size, that we can compete with the best. But this time, Marcio was stronger, had a better strategy and better execution. He recognized Krasi's weakness, which is pulling with his wrist loaded, and exploited it. He didn't get pulled in a deep hook which Krasi was trying to do, and he won the match. The second round doesn't matter.
