Recap: From Don’t Flop, a versatile Real Deal, scoring with a variety of stifling punchlines, witty personals, solid off-the-dome heat and spicy storytelling bars, puts up enough points (esp. during a killer opening round) to beat back a mostly competitive effort from a mayhem-lit and punch/personal heavy at times Syd Vicious, who after getting edged by RD in both of the early rounds, was on his way to at least taking the 3rd if not for a couple of slip-ups.
Verdict: Real Deal (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Real Deal – “And this is Syd from Atlanta?, this for the ’92 Pirates, no way I could let him slide!”
