I’m a boxing fanatic so y’all know this topic is right up my alley yo. Word.

Uni this verse started on some flexing type shit. Which is well rendered under that topic. Loved the first few lines, with the exception. Of “run me like a vet.” As I still don’t know what that means. Boxing is an art of fluidity and you got that in abundance. The Multics were peppered about like jabs, creating rhythm, subverting rhythm, i diggit. The inner rhymings were lomachenko type footworks. Redirecting and misdirecting. And per a Universe work, the concept was very high, Akin to a power punch. I believe the underlining idea here is to use boxing as a microcosm of what we do here, or Vice versa. I always appreciate your effort my man. No matter who u up again, u put in work like Floyd mayweather, allowing yourself to be enshrined with the other greats. While I believe there are still fighters in Netcees Promotions that can still give u a run for your money, you remind me of Errol’s Spence as he rampages through the welterweight division, kicking asses and chewing bubble gum at the same time lol. You talk that shit but you knock them kids. Likewise, I like how you didn’t tackle that gif in a direct way. But used it as a narrative of your overall stay in the Netcees writing squared circle. It was a cool verse man. I can only imagine the catharsis you got from writing it. Good shit cousin.


Broken. Cool. I think the lines were a little too long. Even though this isn’t audio I still read things with an internal metronome and yeah shots mad long. But if it makes u feel any better, my bars this week were longing too. Your writing (in this instance) is akin to an amateur boxer who uses excessive jabs without any end point. And when it finally hits, u be wearing baking mits. Felt deflated. But perhaps ur verse wasn’t about the straight right, or hooks or uppercuts but more so the ring generalship. You reframed the battle from a meta-ish approach of Universe to a straight forward storytelling. And there I spoke too soon. As I ventured further l, I somewhat picked up on the similarities to Uni’s verse.
“ now he's shadowboxing with shadows the pact won't let em leave”
Alluding to the many threats to leave the league, under current management, but that warrior spirit will not allow it. Dope. Later on it was confirmed it was a shot at universe as it was name dropped. Though there were much highlights, there were also lowlights like the whole steak thing lol. What was that? Anyways I rock with this verse and have to agree with Cereal that this may have been your best verse I’ve ever read. Appropriately so seeing who u were up against.

Vote, this was really a tough one. Both took similar approach, an allegory of sort. While one used the topic to muse on his journey, the other used it to deconstruct his opponent. This was as close as can be. But one thing that separated the two pugilists was the techniques. Concept wise both verses were brilliant but technically speaking one writer proved a bit more advance. So with that said I lay my vote down for Universe, who displayed a stronger technical display. This was definitely a Terrance Crawford vs Errol Spence bout. Well done guys. Best battle this week. But I can’t even hate on the results thus far cause Halo came with it.
