Cemetary Bomb Confusion

Say I had 1700 lifepoints. It's now my opponent's battle phase and he has a "Elemental Hero Bladedge" on the field. My field is of course unprotected. He attacks, only to find me activating my "Cemetary Bomb." He subtracts 3200 lifepoints from his 1400.

This is pretty much a real scenario, except my opponent claims that we tied, because his monster's attack still continues. It is my belief that the first person to reach 0 lifepoints loses, and since I chained "Cemetary Bomb" to his attack, he should lose. But in reply to this, he stated that we both reach 0 at the same time. I'm confused on all of this. Could someone please help me make sense of it?
 
Since a card effect has resolved and your opponent's LP is 0, he loses.

You can only declare a tie if and ONLY if a card effect simultaneously knocks both players down to 0. In this scenario, his LP was 0 first, so he loses.
