Recap: Wack move by Arsonal, knocking Iron Solomon’s cap off at the end of the battle, is a bit ironic when you consider that this KOTD battle between two ‘legends’ was ‘ok’ at best what with Arsonal’s penchant for filler and uneven angles and Iron, who when he wasn’t dishing a load of subpar bars, made some pretty lame attempt’s to mimic his opponent’s ‘disrespectful’ palette. That said, in what was easily his best round, Arsonal uses a nice variety of flexing punchlines to take the 1st before Solomon dishes a load of witty/pointed personals and astute angles/punches/wordplay to even things and take the 2nd. Last round saw Arsonal deliver a load of disrespectful race lines and other real life struggle bars with his usual flair. But starting out with a fire rebuttal, Iron’s 3rd round, consistently nice with a mix of fire personals, nice self-deprecation bars and aggressive shiners were more than enough to take the round and the win.
Verdict: Iron Solomon (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Iron Solomon – “You see, Ars’s pen is average, that’s why everything you say is mean, you’re not nice!”
