[Irahl pitches his weight to the side, throws his arms to deflect the blows raining down on him and strike back, but-- yeah, he's not in this to win. He's in this to fight until he can't anymore. And with Vincent, he might actually reach that point.
With the shocking amount of power he's being hit with, it quickly becomes harder for Irahl to keep himself anchored and oriented to his place in reality. The universe careens around him. It isn't long before his defenses begin to noticeably weaken and become more aimless.
He continues to battle this onslaught that he invited, until finally something in his brain notices that he's maybe in trouble.
When it seems like Irahl's strength might be flagging as the sense is being beaten out of him, he suddenly puts up a more focused fight. A gear shifts. This time, when he knocks aside one of Vincent's arms, he continues the sweep until he can lock that arm up with his, and his other arm reaches out to grab instead of hit back. Claws fist up in Vincent's shirt so Irahl can haul him closer--too close to continue beating him.
Panting for breath, his bones ringing with pain, Irahl tries to grapple him still. Finally giving a signal that Vincent wins.]
