Recap: From Street Talk Ent, funny how you can sometimes get less potent with each passing round, but still manage to hold on and pull off a win. Such was the case here with Chess, who in a 3-round battle that took place outside on the street against Kev Bless, used a gang of gritty punches, solid wordplay and fiery gun bars in a much more consistent and condensed opening round to take things there. However, admittedly a bit lethargic from battling so often of late, while still earnest and full of grit with his bars, a mostly pedestrian round 2 from Chess would still get the checkmark thanks to yet another elongated and mostly subpar turn by his opponent. Thanks in part to Chess cutting his final round short only a minute in, a turned up Bless (witty and hard-hitting at times, but drenched in too many wily pontifications and resident name flips in the earlier rounds) would put it all together, lace the crowd with a pretty solid punch-fest and handily take the 3rd to avoid a shutout.
Verdict: Chess (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chess – “You said you was in group homes and stuff, well I could make you so viral from this battle, that nigga I could get you and your folks in touch!”
