Recap: Sporting a plethora of showmanship, wit and rapid lyrical aptness, Madflex matches bars with the always flexing wordplay and fiending punches of Xcel for 3 rounds on the KOTD stage. A solid and spirited battle throughout, a fire middle-of-the-round (“…when his LIFE come out his chest like the shirt on his skin!”) freestyle by Madflex allows him just enough room to match a versatile and fire (“You not the truth, I will rock your roof like stalactites!”) turn by Xcel. The 2nd and 3rd rounds however, sees each battler out-maneuver the other what with Madflex’s more consistent darts and finite (“If I offered you a featherweight fight, you look light, you’d bring a pillow!”) penmanship beating back a less potent turn by Xcel in the middle round, before the Team Homi vet comes back with a more punch-heavy and surmisable in the 3rd for the draw.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Xcel – “You wanna try angles, but got the wrong hypotenuse!”
