Recap: Close, but a bit of a lethargic matchup between Illmaculate and Chilla Jones showcases some irony in that Illmac’s choice to go so hard on his opponent’s scheme-heavy rep is not only met with a versatile pallette punches, personal and schemes from (“Probably long nose, like it gotta be Gonzo, you’ll hear his [it] Pop so much, you would’ve thought it was Lonzo!”) Chilla, but Mac’s own standing for being one of the wittier battle rappers around, didn’t quite match his prestige here. Still, after edging the 1st round with steadier batch of punches and failing to take the 2nd due in part to Illmac’s comeuppance on the haymakers and dope (“Don’t Flop Chilla, or it’s no shots, you’ll get your soul swapper, Necrophiliac, dead-ass, you getting cold-cocked!”) wordplay, it’s Jones who edges the last, deciding round with a nice rebuttal and a more versatile alloy of heated zingers.
Verdict: Chilla Jones (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chilla Jones – “Nintendo Punchout the only time Little Mac was a star in the game!”
