Recap: Granted, he was helped by a shitload of Presidential Dubz dry spots in the latter two rounds. But after getting served by his opponent’s more consistent and visceral shiners throughout the 1st round, the normally name-flip swinging and rapid-punching Ru Bando would make a workmanlike effort in mounting his comeback. The Bed-Stuy, BK, rapper mixing in some astute personals and rigid wordplay to his noted repertoire to edge a 2nd round he didn’t seem to have much chance of winning going in. Bando would then take advantage of another solid, but oft-redundant turn by Dubz in the deciding 3rd round with a more versatile, consistent and slightly more condensed turn that would edge him the win.
Verdict: Ru Bando (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Ru Bando – “I’m mad humble, but truthfully, Prezzy what the fuck was you thinking you was gonna do with me?, Ruger squeeze, off his top when I shoot the piece, they won’t recognize the 3rd for nuthin’…Martin Luther King!”
