Recap: Often criticized for lack of bar potency, in this long-awaited 3-round match versus Tay Roc, Hitman Holla proves the naysayers wrong, utilizing a wide array of piercing punchlines along with flexing personals, scintillating name flips and some head-ringing gun lines to take the first two rounds and win this battle. Indeed, while his opponent suffered from way too many redundant gun lines, the usually performance-heavy Hitman seemed bent on taking out Roc with a consistently fiery punch-game. And he did so, which not only kept the crowd buzzing, but even included a fly 2nd round rebuttal. Ironically, it wouldn’t be till the 3rd round that Roc (who long requested this battle) would earn his keep, finally mixing it up more with the heat, but also scoring with some rugged punchlines/personals to edge a solid turn by Hitman and salvage the final round.
Verdict: Hitman Holla (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Hitman Holla – “I’ll knock Tay out, then pull a K out, and light the whole Cave up like I’m trying to find my way out!”
