Allen Ford does not look so strong but somehow he generates an incredible power with his lightning speed. Herman is a smart guy with very good tecnhical ability. He is amongst my favorite US pullers. Two technical guys' battle. Herman looked a bit nervous. Round one started with a slip and strap as i expected from these toprollers and as Cobra says STRAP NEVER LIES. Before the GO Herman looked like he depended on his hand control while Ford on his back pressure. Herman's hand control was too much for Ford and he just easily controlled and pinned Ford. It seemed like it is going to be the same way in rest of the matches as Ford's best move was very ineffective against Herman. I kind of expected a 6-0 score. But something very surprising happenned and Ford just easily beat Herman without the strap but there was a foul for Herman before the pin. Things kind of got exciting with that pin but they went to the strap again as Herman did not try to control Ford again without the strap.In
