Recap: So what if Kaboom and some in the crowd couldn’t always tell the difference between a freestyle and a rebuttal? Showing off some solid off-the-dome heat, taking full advantage of his elongated rounds, dropping some witty barbs, out-punching and displaying more versatility with his bars in the opening rounds, a smoking (literally and figuratively) and name flip/personal-savvy Kaboom edges round 1 and 2 of this Battle Academy 3-rounder for the win, before a condensed, gun bar waving, punch-heavier and more bar efficient Chef Trez (who also came through with some quality rebuttals/freestyles throughout the match) edged the 3rd to avoid the shutout.
Verdict: Kaboom – (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Kaboom – “Shit real, he fake beefing…Impossible Whopper!”
