Recap: Not this time. With a growing rep for choking away 3rd rounds, yet winning a battle anyway, Tsu Surf couldn’t be blamed for thinking he had this one. After all, a versatile, performance-hitting and punch-heavier Surf (assisted by a Rum Nitty mid-round slip-up) clearly took the 1st round here and came through with a pretty solid 2nd that had its share of haymakers too. But well-prepped from the jump with a boatload of eccentric gun bars, feisty punchlines that mostly landed, seething wordplay and some telling schemes/personals, after a pretty moderate (for him, anyway) 1st round, Nitty would turn it up in the latter rounds with enough consistent heat to edge the middle round, before practically being given the deciding 3rd round what with his opponent’s aforementioned failings.
Verdict: Rum Nitty (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Rum Nitty – “I got Champion status, what’s happening, get pressed for real, a whole nigger get revealed, had a whole neighborhood showing they true colors…like Pleasantville!”
