Recap: Chess pulls off an impressive road win, squaring up on this West-coast URL Traffic card against a very solid and punch-centric Rum Nitty, with an aggressive and noteworthy performance that was littered with clandestine wordplay (‘think about it’), potent punchlines, righteous (“That trey-fine, in L.A., like I’m holding Blake Griffin!”) gun bars and ferocious set-ups. It’s enough to take rounds 1 and 3, the yung’un only getting edged in the 2nd round (despite a handful of haymakers) due to a slow start and a more consistent and fiery (“I look at you and still see food…Jameis Winston!”) Rum.
Verdict: Chess (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chess – “The head shot was unreal like a fake I.D.!”
