Text Heavyweight Championship Match
Celsius Vs Rai
The newly minted Text Heavyweight Champion Rai defends his title against the perennial underachiever Celsius. Rai comes into this battle off the back of a definitive victory over one of the golden era's Grand Champions - Olde English. Celsius also enters after an important victory over REZN, who previously had defeated Celsius in a Grand Championship final. Celsius's penmanship has never been in question, just his temperament in these big match settings.
Betting summary: While Celsius probably has a slightly more impressive CV of scalps than Rai, there is no question that Rai is the man in form and has won a number of big battle match-ups over the years. With that the betting edge has to go with Rai.

Rieper Vs EtH
Rieper returns to battle card action after unfortunately missing the inaugural Text Heavyweight Championship battle. He returns however against the in-form EtH, who is fresh off of a "Verse of the card" award. This mixture of styles will put Rieper punchlines against the storytelling personal style of EtH that saw him defeat long time Letsbeef heavyweight Rican. To add to this match up is the long standing history of the two members, of being big parts of the Hall Of Fame crew: Turnbull AC's. These long time teammates clash to be the King of the Turnbulls.
Betting summary: EtH's rise towards heavyweight level in the text arena has been one of the stories of 2019. However Rieper has been arguably the sites undisputed number one battler for probably the last 3 years. EtH no doubt has the ability to win, but Rieper will enter as a strong favourite to hope back into title contention.

REZN Vs Rican
A fresh match-up here pits two of the sites best, yet perhaps most inconsistant battlers against each other. REZN is a former Grand Champion with a slew of big name scalps, while Rican is a former Grand Champion finalist, who has threatened to win the "big one" on numerous occasions. REZN comes into this match off of a disappointing loss to Celsius, while Rican had perhaps a harder pill to swallow, losing both of his battles on the last card, in which he wrote 64 lines in total. This is a perfect chance for both to bounce back.
Betting summary: Very difficult to decide who enters with an advantage. On there best form they are both world beaters, so based off of activity levels alone, Rican will enter as the small favourite in this one.

O_G Vs GRizzEAT
This exciting battle sees the resurgent O_G face off against the returning GRizzEAT. Grizzy already has had a number of big name battles in the short time since he returned, and will be matched up against O_G who has leapt into the forefront of the site with his recent exploits. Both have a similar style and will really mesh well to produce a possible battle of the card candidate.
Betting summary: O_G has been accused of quantity over quality over the years but has made a change as of late which has seen his stock rise. Grizzy on the other hand was knocking on the door of full blown heavyweight status prior to his hiatus and has continued where he left off. Due to more big profile battles, Grizzy enters as the favourite here.

IIAM Vs HAWTTLANTA
IIAM enters fresh off of his win over Colossal on the last card, and matches up against the returning HAWTTLANTA, formerly known as SwiftKeys. This will be IIAM's biggets battle to date against a former GC challenger. HAWT likewise has a chance to reaffirm his place in the Letsbeef hierarchy.
Betting summary: While IIAM enters off of a win on the last card, HAWT's previous pedigree makes him the bookies favourite.

Machiavelli Vs Fidel
Return to THC action for the promising Fidel, who faces the controversial Machiavelli. Mach has attempted to rise back up the ranks, while Fidel also is on a path of rebuilding. This will be a fresh match-up for both, and will hopefully kickstart one (or both) of there careers into the new year.
Betting summary: Fidel has been publicly lauded as a future heavyweight with good reason. He should be too much for Machiavelli, who will strive to cause an upset here.

Saxx Baba Vs OGxCERBERUZ
Saxx's third appearance on the THC comes after two close losses that dont tell the whole story. He attempted to get back into the win column against Back Hand Click's Cerb, who has shown spots of potential without managing a defining victory yet.
Betting summary: Although he is still searching for his first THC victory, Saxx should be considered the favourite here.

ColossalMini Vs Nyvilly
Colossal returns after an interesting performance against IIAM on the last card, with a unique raw style that has yet to be defined. Nyvilly has had a few battles but still not much is known about him. A sleeper battle we dont yet know what to expect from.
Betting summary: Based off of there recent battles, Nyvilly is probably the slight favourite due to a more conventional style.
