Recap: Part of JC’s greatness is the fact that he always shows up, something that shouldn’t be taken for granted in a battle world littered with choke artists. Add that factor to having one of the best pen’s in the game, when one talks about a ‘beatable JC’, surely they’re going no lower than ‘B’-level on the game mode. And that what’s a little disappointing here: witnessing a Shotgun Suge getting off to such a raucous, heavy-hitting, mayhem-dishing and gun’s-a-blazing start in round 1 and letting the attentive Philly crowd down with a mostly pedestrian 2nd round (which he could’ve beat considering what was for JC, just a solid turn) and then Suge cutting short his 3rd round (in the face of fans who had to be anticipating some electric ‘What His Life Like?’ bars) after apparently forgetting his lines. And while it should be said that JC’s 1st and 3rd rounds were both sublime, gun-bar lit, punchline/metaphor crazy and witty with the personals, Suge delivering a stronger 2nd round definitely could’ve made a difference here.
Verdict: JC (W) 2-1
Favorite line: JC – “I’m not the one to get gruesome with, double-jointed, put a big body in a small box…see if he really been thru some shit!”
