Recap: Like a Mariano Rivera cut fastball, even if you know it’s coming, doesn’t mean you can hit it. That’s the theme here as a hilarious, crowd-pleasing X-Factor loaded up on the tooth jokes to help him come from behind and beat a versatile, but stamina-lacking DNA. Indeed, after (“Nigga, you so old when you battled Nemysys I had a tooth!”) out-snapping his opponent to take an all-around fire 1st round, DNA, while still solid for the latter two rounds, just couldn’t match X-Factor’s comeuppance, which included a multi-faceted, (“DNA stand for Dentures Not Around!”) punch-heavy 2nd round and a superb, personal/priorities-drenched and witty 3rd round that continued to rock the crowd and more importantly gave the Detroit emcee the win.
Verdict: X-Factor (W) 2-1
Favorite line: X-Factor – “If you walk into an executive office, they’ll beg your pardon…they’ll look you square in the face and say, that’s nothing we can market!”
