Recap: Arsonal and John John da Don are pals outside the ring, but that side note seemed to have more an effect on JJDD than da Rebel during this battle as John John struggled to stay consistent with his personals, set-ups, aggression and bars, all which cost him in the end. What with pretty much a debatable 1st and 3rd round, it’s Arsonal who gets theatrical and distances himself in the 2nd, cleverly taking one of battle host Snoop Dogg’s lines from Baby Boy to set up a nice mix of stifling (“I give a fuck if ya daughter was with you, I shot the both of ya, what you thought I was only gonna hit you and not the stroller?”) gun bars and disrespectful shiners. Overall, not the best showing from either battler, but it’s Arsonal who definitely came more prepared.
Verdict: Arsonal da Rebel (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Arsonal – “You told niggas you was signed for real?! Nigga, Bow Wow pay you to suck dick and lip sync, that ol’ Ashanti deal”
