Recap: Gotta roll with the crowd on this one as the seeming lack of excitement during this KOTD title match between Cortez and Head I.C.E. was totally understandable in what was mostly a snoozefest. Indeed, as lengthy as pretty much each round was here, while one can appreciate the effort put in from both battlers, judging from all the dry spots and filler, neither emcee was on their A-game. Still, considering it was a rematch from their controversial bout way back in the days of the Lionz Den, the irony of Cortez receiving another loss to I.C.E. when the opinion here is that he hit with enough hard punches, personals, angles and rugged heat to easily take the first two rounds against an opponent who was all over the place with his rhymes, super long-winded and too often lacked any spice with his punches, shouldn’t be loss on anyone, especially the hosts.
Verdict: Cortez (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Cortez – “I told y’all I ain’t playing with I.C.E, if I air [ear] one then it go one out the other, I ain’t take his advice!”
