Syphax just wasn't downed. He's been established as being able to match Juno blow for blow under the right circumstances, thus the repeated reference to Lesser Sky Juno a few weeks ago.

By this logic and the Angelic advantage over Demons, he would win against an injured Ira and isn't necessarily in a critically dangerous position. Sure if he got as overconfident as Sliske on your average Tuesday he'd be screwed, but he's someone that keeps his wits about him a good 98% of the time.
