Felt stricc got this one. Felt delivery and punches from him were just a cut above what Merge brought, which was also incredibly solid. Just felt stricc outclassed him a bit here. Fair's in.

Dope battle. Stricc is a tough opponent and wasnt gonna roll easy. Appreciate merge for stepping up. Hope to see him back sometime. 

This was really dope from both.  One came stronger conceptually to me and had amazing delivery. Very smooth overall. Respect the FV. 

This was a dope battle but IMO pretty one sided.  Being direct with your opponent for me is such a huge part of what entertaining about a battle.  I feel my winner from the gate was on his opponent.  Whereas my other felt like he was using an anybody verse which might have won against alot of people but wasn't against his opponent.  Dope battle the Napoleon Complex prolly my line of the battle.  Worthy of a main event for sure.

fire shit yo ... i'd say Stricc stayed strong with the punches up unitil the last portion of the battle where he went a bit too indirect but then finished strong with some fire bars 

Merge was on the slow boil, but started bringin some mad heat as the verse went on nice finish too , dope shit man 

both had some big punches but overall i got stricc outlanding merge however this was very close 

Both came nice with it, Stricc on the next level without even flexin tho.LoD fool. 

Striccy went fucking nuts. Felt like there was a couple dry spots but overall that round was crazy fire. Merge came back swinging, again, some filler and some dry spots here and there but punches were original and heavy hitting and made this a great battle. I really enjoyed the spar between these guys, overall i felt Stricc was a bit more polished with his round, i liked his angle. Merge was dope i felt his punches were his strongest element, but it just wasn't enough on the day. Fair's in. 

Stricc opener was funny.. midget tossing was hilarious..you had so many fire punches..and dope concepts..my favorite line was Napoleon complex..fire.. you stayed consistent and threw punch after punch..nice mic presence and performance... first time hearing midget on drugs..you had a great verse.. crunch time punch was cool..29 but this is 30 for me was cool.i felt your best punch was the snoozy button line..and nice ender..as much as I like midgets.. felt you fell short if ya verse and punches to stricc.. overall great battle

This was definitely a dope battle, both have done something's and got their name out there. Enjoyed this 1 live, hope to hear these 2 again in the ring! Fv always I thought Stricc really did his thing and showed a bit more superior.
