Romero got off to a good start and forced Finaly to use a rope break early, but Finlay quickly adjusted to the rules of the match and was more careful after that. Romero and Finlay know each other very well, and that helped make this a very entertaining back and forth battle with both guys thinking a few steps ahead. Romero seemed to have the better game plan throughout most of the match, but Finlay used his new leg submission (a modified Indian deathlock) to great effect late in the match. Romero was noticeably slowed by Finaly&#8217;s attacks, and that led to a very nice finish.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nA look at Matt Sydal and his mind, head, and heart game.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nA look at Delirious&#8230; with subtitles.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 2<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>ROH Pure Tournament Round 1 Match<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Delirious vs Matt Syda<\/strong>l<br \/>\n(referee: Todd Sinclair)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e5e69642b55','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e5e69642b55\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e5e69642b55\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Matt Sydal wins via submission with a cobra clutch<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 9:57<\/strong> (1 break)<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nGreat match. Matt Sydal wrestled with speed and agility, but Delirious&#8217;s chaotis style kept Sydal off-balance for portions of the match. It was fun watching Sydal react and adjust to whatever Delirious came up with, and after a while it seemed like Sydal was in control of the match. A few big moves from Delirious put Sydal&#8217;s control in jeopardy though, and that led to a very good finishing sequence.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis was another highly entertaining night of Pure Tournament action.
