Recap: Damn, talk about turning it up. After a pretty solid 1st round that still got beat back a more punch-heavy and versatile Geechi Gotti, O-Red goes into ‘savage’ mode and dishes two of the hardest rounds of his battle career. The Newark, NJ, vet getting downright nasty with it via a gang of strong-arm wordplay, steely verbal darts, brazen personals (esp. during a flawless and perfectly executed 2nd round = classic) and piercing punchlines. And while Geechi continued to compete hard with a variety of stinging personals of his own, some solid rebuttals/freestyles, dicey name flips, vivid storytelling bars and gritty punches to keep it close, this Champion of the Year vs. Champion of the Year SMACK Volume 5 battle would come down to a more consistently spicy and elevated O-Red edging both of the latter rounds for the win.
Verdict: O-Red (W) 2-1
Favorite line: O-Red – ” I drive-by in a G37, you gonna remember me, holding the .8, sideways, out the Infiniti!”
