Recap: Solid, bar-lit 3-rounder from KOTD sees battle vets Pass and E. Ness go at it for 3 competitive rounds with the only occupational hazard occurring during Pass’ 2nd round, a couple of slip-ups that along with a turned-up (“They say you’ze a douche-bag, he’s a real asshole, hit Pass with the combination, got the pass code!”) and witty Ness cost him the turn after the two battlers both had an equally seismic, punch-heavy 1st. But with the ever-confident Pass rarely losing his cool, the Bay-area maestro came back with a sizzling 3rd, fresh with feisty personals, some potent wordplay and dope punchlines to edge the round over a much less formidable showing from Ness and earn a tie.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Pass – “Fred got you famous from a headlock, arms wrapped your throat, now Loaded Lux ain’t the only one with a classic choke!”
