Ivankov should think about turning a few of those tyres round his middle into muscle if he wants people to take him seriously as an athlete.
Amazon has managed to work for a loose triangle. I think Ivankov should be able to defend this one pretty easily though. Oh, Amazon has tightened it up now! Ivankov should have reacted faster there - he's in big trouble and yes, he's tapped out! This one is all over!
