Recap: Yunno, can’t really say that I get all into battlers wardrobe’s while on stage. Sure, some battlers are known for always being fly (which is fine) and some battlers can be pretty dusty (which they have to know will be used against them in future battles), but for the most part I could care less, it’s just all about the bars here. Which leads me to the befuddled reaction towards this Kid Chaos vs. JC battle as for all the love and reaction Chaos has gotten for being such am energetic and versatile spitter of late, seeing him so hellbent on getting personal with JC–for all 3 rounds–just didn’t make any sense. Whether it was a supreme focus on JC wanting to battle Lux (what’s wrong with that?!), JC’s lack of looking spiffy on stage (as long as the guy is clean, what does anyone care if he likes to wear T-shits with baggy pants all the time) or the recent chatter surrounding JC looking rather gaunt (and possibly on drugs) of late (ok, since that topic did receive quite a bit of talk online, one can understand an opponent going there, but then going back to when he battled Chilla, JC has always been a small guy), when it came to personals, too often Chaos (who granted did have some solid schemes and wordplay mixed in) just went overboard while acting like he was the vet in the ring and not his opponent (one loss to Loso doesn’t wipe out JC’s entire resume). And to Chaos’ chagrin, judging from this battle JC was clearly paying attention to all the gossip surrounding him of late as well, because this was a clear 30. Spouting God-like synergy throughout the bout, whether he was dishing a gang of eccentric haymakers in a boastful, flawless and punch/wordplay-lit round 1 and just continuing with more of the same to go along with fire name flips, well-aimed personals of his own and steely gun bars in the latter rounds, for all the talk of how close (and in some cases surprising) the Rookies vs Vets battles have been in 2020, all the vets should be thanking JC for this one.
Verdict: JC (W) 3-0
Favorite line: JC – “See me and you? Nothing alike, you hold the door when I’m comin’ in, I’ll pull the plug to end your sufferin’!”
