Recap: Although he’s still doing way too much intrusive shit while his opponent is rapping, one could argue that the version of Serius Jones we see here during this Smack Volume 6 matchup against JC, is the best we’ve ever seen from the Jersey veteran. Sure, Jones is still cocky as ever, his rounds were a little longwinded and he needs to get over the Math personals (hey, if they can still talk about JC’s infamous dance video then they can talk about ‘The Punch’), but for the most part the dated bars (‘tho that Martin bar in the 2nd round was sublime) and reaches were gone, the punches and schemes were much more substantive, the self-deprecation was humbling, he was still witty and righteous when needed and that rapid, more intricate and versatile flow with a mix of some killer personals/wordplay was especially dope to see, especially during what was a superlative 2nd round. That said, JC still edge rounds 1 and 3 for the win. The Michigan battler getting past a surprising 2nd round choke with a variety of crazy set-ups/name flips, gritty punchlines, piercing gun bars, well-executed personals and punch-drunk mayhem during two slightly more condensed turns for what was a close vic.
Verdict: JC (W) 2-1
Favorite line: JC – “Talking about ‘I shoot like KD!’, like it’s something spiritual, till you take the wrong shot, get tore up over a line and the Bucks will finish you!”
