Recap: Well, Mack Mel certainly had to earn this one. That’s how robust with the punches, (“Without a pound on you, you as good as dead…weight [wait]!”) wordplay and set-ups Cable Guy was here. Indeed, a spitfire match throughout. A head-turning (“I don’t do too much talking clown, I just run up with the baby like ‘Look who’s talking now!'”) 1st by Cable Guy was only beaten by a braggadocio, haymaker-drenched, (“I get grimy, rusty can top, turn buck-50s into 1.90s!”) performance-heavy and (“Spine shot, man his chest poke out…like when cold water hit ya back!”) gun-savvy turn by Mac, before Cable Guy proved his mettle was unshaken through the likes of a just as fire and (“See, I’m like a Menace to Society, so he oughtta knew better then giving me burgers!”; “You known for being bun, so I don’t get what’s so special about the Sauce!”) punch-heavy 2nd round that beat back a (“I pull out shooting two, And 1, Ayo, I’m Sik Wit It!”) solid, but not-as-flexing turn by Mac. Split going into the 3rd, Cable Guy came through with another pronounced turn of witty personals and dope schemes. Still, for all of Cable Guy’s word symmetry throughout, it was Mack Mel, showing that he still had plenty left in the tank via a fierce 3rd that featured a plethora of stifling punchlines, gritty street chatter and slinging gun bars, altogether enough to edge the final round and get the win.
Verdict: Mack Mel (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Mack Mel – “Everybody always saying they connect is named Pablo or Chico right?, well my connect name is…head shot, that’s what I get if I say names!”
