Recap: This was on its way to being a pretty dope battle until both Supastar Sal and Nuborn choked and slipped up in the 3rd round. Before that Sal was putting on a decent show, esp. scoring in the 2nd round with quips like “This is Brady verse McNabb, Mayweather verse whoever you can grab” and gutta lines like “Fuck Nuborn, I’m avoiding??? him, I’ll buck him and keep on trucking like Oregon”. Still, Nuborn rode into VA with some out of town heat, packing personals (“You know what your broad do? she be playing with my nuts ‘cuz I’m packing downstairs like my basement full of junk”), wordplay and punchlines (“He’ll put his lips on a mail, that’s a love letter”) with wanton regularity. Too bad for Sal, after splitting the first couple of rounds, an early choke would do him in and make it a layup for Nuborn to grab the win.
Verdict: Nuborn (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Nuborn – “He’ll get salty when I go ham, it’ll raise his blood pressure”
