...hm. Also weird. So Fedor started by doing a little bit of damage...and then he kinda went ape shit and in about 3 seconds, Fedor shredded all of Sylvia's massive health. I would not be surprised if there was a bit of "flash KO" going on, but it was still good, clean shots that finished Timmy.

but I think it was a mistake for Big Tim to wanna play with Fedor on the ground... bad call, decent fight though.
lol
