1st fight:
"They played games together and in those games the Pandavas would usually emerge victorious. Off all the boys, Bhima was the strongest. His voice was like a roar of an animal and when he jumped, it felt as if the earth was crashing. He would sometimes drown his brothers in play. He would grab big trees which would get uprooted by his grasp. Duryodhan used to be worried. A child with this strength, what will be become once he grows."
2nd fight.
"Yudhistira became an expert in handling the chariots. Duyodhana and Bhima were experts in handling the mace."

Duryodhana said he would go ahead."

FINAL BATTLE.
[quote]
The fight between Bhima and Duryodhana. The two were shouting and trying to hit each other like two bulls fighting. Bhima hit Duryodhana many times and Duryodhana fell, but got up again swiftly. He then struck Bhima who fell on the ground and was unable to get up. Yudhistira asked Krishna about this. Krishna said "Duryodhana is stronger than Bhima." Yudhistira said "Does that mean we will not win?" Krishna said "Calm down" Bhima got up.
Krishna, in a playful manner slapped his thigh. He reminded Bhima about his promise. Bhima remember this. He also remembered that Balarama had said while teaching him, that he was never to strike anyone below the navel. He was afraid of Balarama. Then he decided to try that ignoring the fact that he could become subject to the anger of Balarama. Bhima jumped in the air with his mace. Duryodhana thought Bhima would strike his head. Bhima swung the mace and hit Duryodhana on his thigh. He then struck on the other thigh. Duryodhana fell with both his thighs broken.
[end]
My opinion.
Ironic that Bheem won all duels excluding the finale... where Duryodhan somehow outshined him edespite losing just 1 hour before that (during shakuni vadha). It does not make much sense.
