Recap: One of the punch-heaviest, dopest and competitive 1-round battles you’ll see, Ru Bando and Chris Mills both bring their A-game’s to a We Go Hard match that should’ve gotten a lot more attention in 2017. Bando, a stickler for sheer mayhem and rapidly punching with plenty of vigor, head-swinging gun bars and short, but perfunctory punchlines, rarely minced words. While Boston spitter Mills, kept the scoreboard lit with a boatload of thrifty wordplay, fire-set-ups, real street shit, some ridiculous name flips and suave (“I got a mean jab, speed bag, see how I roll with them punches?!”) punchlines that had the crowd hype. A tight one with an almost equal amount of haymakers, what Bando lacked in versatility was made up for with slightly less dry spots from his opponent, thus, we call this one a draw.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Ru Bando – “It ain’t a firm handshake when I squeeze the grip, ‘cuz I’m wilding with the sub like the teacher is sick!”
