Recap: Exciting Banned Legacy 2 battle between Ryda and Stuey Newton is high on the action, mayhem, punchlines, pontifications and gun bars. And if that’s not enough, Stuey also displayed a nice rebuttal game, while Ryda supplied plenty of witty personals to add some levity to the scene. A competitive battle throughout, it’s Ryda, coming back from a subpar performance in his last URL battle against Th3 Saga, who gets the win with a sublime 1st and 3rd rounds in which he flexed his versatility with nary a dry spot. And while the always fiery Stuey came hard with the punches and ringing wordplay throughout the match (esp. during a spitfire 2nd round), the West-coast vet hurt himself a bit with elongated turns in the aforementioned rounds that couldn’t keep up with his opponent’s overall potency.
Verdict: Ryda (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Ryda – “So I don’t wanna hear all that Black power shit that you be blabbing out ya mouth, because you can’t be on this stage screaming ‘Black Lives Matter’ when it’s ‘All Lives Matter!’ in ya house!”
