Emerson Kennedy defeats Big Kannon


Recap: Emerson Kennedy was on to something here. Because for all the blistering personals and (gotta admit) hilarious disses on EK’s commensurate ‘Hickory-Dickory-Dock’ flow patterns tossed at him by Big Kannon in this Born Legacy matchup from URL, BK’s subtle reaches and penchant for some pretty mediocre bars (which from his facial expressions, EK clearly noticed) would get lost in the midst of Kannon’s more high-ranking moments. Still a close one, what with EK’s solid 4-bar setups, fiery wordplay and versatility with his punches working well to offset his opponent’s more idiosyncratic attacks, especially in round 1 which a punch-heavier EK would edge for the win before the two split the latter rounds.

Verdict: Emerson Kennedy (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Emerson Kennedy – “The first shall be the last like a snake draft!”
