Synopsis: I’ve always been of the persuasion that battling in front of your opponent’s home crowd can make it extra hard to pull out a win. After all, the guy battling at home is usually extra pumped to put on a great show and do well in front of his hometown fans, the crowd will almost always be biased for their guy and fair or not fair, it’s the road guy who has to come out and impress the most. That said, this was an easy win for Charlie Clips, who IMO clearly out-barred an amped up (and clearly gassed by his Chi-town fans) Big T in rounds one and two, while airing exquisite (those phone co. lines alone) schemes and personals with the same swag and confidence that we all saw earlier against Tay Rock and Aye Verb. Then too, all gassing up aside, this wasn’t Big T at his best, who tho he may’ve edged the third round with that “You know I be using barbers to pull hits instead of clips on these faces cuz’ clips get in that jam and they usually leave behind cases” line. Despite of all that when Clips gives you three prepared rounds combined with dope schemes, he’s almost impossible to beat.
Verdict: Charlie Clips (W) 2-1
Best line: Charlie Clips – “Now I know I shouldn’t crack fat jokes, but this nigga is really fat, the type to kill himself just to see Left Eye cuz she know where Chili (chilly) at”
