Recap: Haven’t seen much of Cortez on the battle scene lately, but here in this 1-rounder from the Gates, the Brooklyn, NY, vet uses a bunch of solid name flips, some gritty punchlines and flexing street aesthetics to score enough haymakers and handily take this bout from a witty at ttimes, but mostly subpar with the punches Chuck Book.
Verdict: Cortez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Cortez – “Sucker, stupid muthafucka, yellow tape and homicide, you in the gutter, and I know you dead, the white sheets gonna help me judge Book by its cover!”
