Recap: Cortez’s underrated wordplay versus Saint Mic’s boatload of stinging punchlines makes for a solid matchup on RBE. Competitive throughout, but for a huge disarray of angles and less potent punches by Mic in the 1st round, it’s not only Cort’s ability to construct his bars better in the opening and middle rounds (before a debatable 3rd, that was due in part to an elongated turn by Cort as well as Saint Mic displaying some ardent wit) that gets him the win here, but also a versatile palette of fiery name flips, sizzling set-ups to his punches, jocular shiners, fervent pontifications and flexing gun bars.
Verdict: Cortez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Cortez – “I’ll beat Saint Christ-like, I’m the face of sin, a Hellraiser, they all scared to face the pen!”
