Recap: If Emerson Kennedy has a flaw, it might be stamina, as his habit for shortened 3rd rounds grow to be stigma. Here however, against a Madflex who didn’t get in his bag of fiery wit and performance-heavy punches until the 2nd round, EK, after easily taking the 1st with a punch-heavier turn, doesn’t hold up with enough consistent weight to keep his lead. 3rd and deciding round goes to Madflex, who with a gang of amusing personals and visceral wordplay is able to best what was a hard-hitting and profound, but awkward-timed turn by the normally apolitical (in the ring) EK.
Verdict: Madflex (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Madflex – “He walks up to women in the club like [extends hand out] ‘I’m Obama’s brother’!”
