Recap: At least this was one (the 3rd in their controversial trilogy) was a lot closer, so much so that we could call it a draw in lieu of Real Deal stepping it up from his last bout against Chilla Jones by displaying much more versatility, consistency and potency with his bars. Loaded too with plenty of mentions regarding their last battle and a boatload of wit as well as breakdowns of each other’s style from each side, for its competitiveness alone, Jones vs. Deal 3 is easily the best match of the series. A slightly more punch-heavy Jones edges the first round before a (“So when I beat you, fans that loved us both turned on me too, cause you’re such a nice guy, you’re awesome dude, but every face needs a good heel that’s why I’m curb stompin’ you!”) personal-heavy Deal returns the favor in the 3rd. The deciding 3rd round, for all its fiery 4-bar set-ups, stinging personals and flashy schemes/punchlines, can go either way what with a condensed turn by Deal matching an elongated turn by Chilla when it comes to bar efficiency.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Chilla Jones – “Go ‘head, make mockeries of my passion and purpose, but I will leave you in grave [engrave] and I’m just scratching the surface, how ’bout a bullet in ya eye Deal [ideal], that would be perfect!”
