Recap: Yes, A. Ward’s rebuttals are crazy (and his ability to freestyle is nothing to sneeze at either) and with some able wit mixed in, when added to a versatile punch-game, Ward has long shown that he can compete with anyone. That said, you have to really appreciate Da Kid Clutch here as the West-coast emcee uses a steady fleet of gritty punchlines/gun bars, fiery/witty personals more associated with his opponent individually than his Christian faith, fierce set-ups/name flips and racial angles that for the most part hit to beat back a pretty solid, punch-heavy at times and off-the-dome-savvy, but not quite as consistent effort from Ward in rounds 2 and 3 (call the 1st debatable) for the win.
Verdict: Da Kid Clutch (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Da Kid Clutch – “And your attire is part of the reason you will never last, ‘cuz he show up to battles looking that one track coach that was never fast!”
