Recap: In a battle that was 15 to 20 minutes longer than it should’ve been and was suddenly interrupted by Tink Da Demon literally throwing up backstage midway through his round 1, a mercurial Th3 Saga uses a boatload of God-fearing raps, stealth punchlines/wordplay and some shiny haymakers to beat back an opponent fanatically rich on diabolic behavior and witty barbs, but mostly underwhelming on angles that hit on Th3 Saga’s spirituality. For Th3 Saga, oft-elongated and unnecessarily combative at times with a crowd that went ham on his more eminent raps, coming off a raucous Chess battle that saw him stay competitive but humbly lose, a 3-0 here makes for the perfect bounce back.
Verdict: Th3 Saga (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Th3 Saga – “I get the call in, bodies disappear, I’m trying to leave the Matrix!”
