Recap: From Bags and Bodies, imagine one of your weaknesses (in Ave’s case, a rep for being nothing but a one-trick pony when it comes to his punchline game) coming back to help you win a battle? Well that and a basic difference in skill level was certainly at play here. As after an opening round that saw the off-the-dome heat and gang of witty and mocking personals from A. Ward combine to edge a pretty solid and punch-heavy, but elongated and not quite as efficient round from Ave, the Norfolk, VA vet immediately turned the tables in a way that might have been even a little surprising to himself and was enough to handily comeback and gain the win. Ave flexing with the versatility in both of the latter rounds, while using a boatload of righteous darts, gritty street lines, wily personals, fly religious-themed zingers and of course, a shitload of nasty punches to beat back an opponent who practically admitted in round 2 that outside of the usual assortment of jokes and personals we’ve grown accustomed to seeing against Ave, he didn’t have much to offer except for some hit-or-miss punches and (tho he did have a dope one midway through the 2nd) freestyles…oh the irony.
Verdict: Ave (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Ave – “Bro what the fuck, you use religion like a damn fraud, you pull back then cross over, how you gonna sham God [ShammGod]?!?”
