Recap: It’s not unusual in lower league battles for the crowd to gas up the hometown fave and egg him on in the hopes of getting a win. But in this case, support or no support, Deal Tha Monsta edges Lotta Zay (and pulls off a minor upset) with hitting (“This man a queen, won’t let that hammer seen, he’d rather sing a song”) personals, authentic wordplay, aggression, more haymakers, a nice Lakers scheme and better overall delivery.
Verdict: Deal Tha Monsta (W) 1-0
