No DQ match: Ivan Komorov vs. Henry Clayton

Ivan managed to grab Cronos's neck after the exchange of blows and even managed to move him a little. But this didn't last long, since Henry began furiously hitting his chest with elbows. While it's true that felt really good strangling his opponent, Ivan had to thnk about himself too. He shouldn't risk too much in fight - he shouldn't risk throwing away all the advantage he built before.

So Ivan released Cronos after few hits and moved away few steps to give both of them some breathing room. However, Ivan didn't plan to rest for too long - he could smell the blood already. He lunged back toward Henry and tried to bodied him into a corner with a spear.

Henry's elbows did the trick and made Ivan release his throat. After being released, Henry drooped over a bit as he tried to catch his breath after the choking. Even though Ivan gave him a moment, he couldn't do anything to recover before Ivan.

Ivan ran up to him and tackled him into the corner. After hitting the turnbuckle, Henry collapsed and sat in the corner as he had to get his breathing under control again. The pain could be somewhat be ignored, but it was apparent that he was hurting.

It turned out that keeping up the pressure was a good move for Russian giant. Ivan managed to land the spear and whole ring shook a little after two giant's collided in corner. It was notable, that Henry's resistance wasn't bit weaker than it used to be at the beggining of the match - Ivan liked that a lot and this didn't mean that he'll go any softer with attacks.

Ivan grabed Henry's body after he collapsed down, turned him around and tried to place the front of his neck onto bottom rope. He would start pushing Cronos' head down to start choking him on rope, and leaned closer toward him to whisper him. "How do you like that?"

Henry rolled over and felt Ivan's boot on the back of his head as Ivan choked him with the bottom rope. Of course the ref wouldn't stop Ivan from doing this, unless they thought his life was in danger.

So knowing he couldn't rely on the ref to get him out, Henry decided to feign passing out. Henry grabbed the bottom rope and pushed off as he resisted. He kept this up for a few seconds before dropping down and going limp.

The ref watched this for a moment before rushing over to try to get Ivan off of Henry so that they could check on him.

Ivan felt some struggling from Cronos as he was keep choking him on the bottom rope. But he had no intention to release him and he pushed him back down every time Henry managed to get little breathing room. Henry eventually passed out - at least he was sure this was the case - but Ivan didn't want to stop so soon. He had way too much fun torturing other giant to back off now.

He simply pushed referee away with one arm and kept the boot on the back of Cronos' head. He backed away when he heard referee saying that it's vital to check on Henry and that he might actually kill him if he decide to keep strangling him after the pass out. Being little angry, Ivan stepped off his opponent and sent one kick into ribs of seemingly lifeless body.

Henry's plan worked for the most part, but Ivan ruined it by kicking him in the ribs. Well at least he didn't have to fake the pain and stirring back to life after being kicked.

He told the ref that he was able to keep going and held his ribs as he got to his feet. The ref did stand between him and Ivan, but it wasn't like either one of them couldn't easily overpower them. Henry just eyed Ivan from where he stood and knew from this point on he wouldn't leave anything to chance with him.

Ivan already raised his arms to celebrate the victory after Henry stoped moving and referee sent him away. But what followed was a not so nice surprise. Henry got back on feet - admitingly he didn't look too good - and said he can continue. "YOU! You're dead..." Ivan screamed across the ring while pointing finger to Cronos.

It was good for referee that he moved away, since Ivan would probably knock him down together with Henry - he was too mad right now to care. Ivan walked toward Cronos, grabbed his head and went for headbut - trying to hit Henry's nose with his forehead. He'd try to do it one more time before finishing with elbow in his head.

Cronos just smiled at Ivan's response and waited as Ivan began to move. He waited for Ivan to grab his head and threw an uppercut as Ivan moved his head forward to hopefully catch him off guard and give him a moment to gain momentum.

He would then throw a quick kick at Ivan's left knee, hoping to big the other giant down before throwing a right hook at Ivan's face.

Ivan was really strong - but what was he missing was brains and common sense; at least little of it. While attractive for fans and usefull if it connects, headbut is bit risky move to perform. And he just felt that at first hand.

Uppercut cought him offguard and forced him to move one step backwards. He lunged back toward Henry, but was intercepted by a kick and a right hook which sent him back again. Ivan was just getting more and more angry at this point. Ivan raised his arms and put them infront of his face and start moving forward. Once being close to Henry, he'll shot his arm forward, trying to punch him in the chest.

Henry's punches were landing, but he didn't know what kind of damage he was doing. He should have capitalized when he had the chance with a bigger move, but Ivan was able to fight back.

Ivan came at him and punched him in the chest. Henry was pushed back into the ropes behind him. Rebounding off the ropes, Henry threw another big right hand at Ivan's head. If Ivan wanted to start a slugfest with him, then he was ready to keep the punches coming.
