[1992-04-03-RINGS] Tengiz Tedoradze vs Koichiro Kimura

[superkix]

This was a lot of fun. Tedoradze throws some badass suplexes -- I mean, he doesn’t do much else, as in his strikes look weak and he isn’t that good on the mat, but boy, he can hit a deadlift German or a deadlift Olympic Slam. He’s fired the heck up right out of the great, press slamming Kimura like he’s nothing. Kimura takes advantage of Tedoradze’s lack of ground skills with an early takedown into an armbar. He also throws a pretty sweet suplex himself and isn’t afraid to kick, which Tengiz almost cartoonish-ly oversells toward the end before Kimura submits him.
