Owen Hart died in a wrestling ring at an event called Over the Edge

This is a close one. Both done nicely. Will come back. 

Still deliberating this one. Will come back. On first two listens i have this deadass even.

This one is very close. One had better mic presence and delivery with some nice bars, other had a more laid back cadence and mic presence with some nice bars also. My winner brought what i felt stood out more. Props to both, best of luck to whoever goes through. 

I've listened to both multiple times and it's dead even for me. Going to edge delivery and impact to DeadTRI on this one. Fucking dope battle all around GL to whoever moves on.

SMACKDOWN! MF'z 

Dexter had some good lines I feel like he came off strong in the start some of those lines really hit. DeadTRI had some strong punches I really liked how this guy used time control knew where to take his breaths knew when to speed it up and when to slow it down while landing the right punches. I've got to go with DeadTRI on this one man no hate fair vote I listened to this like three times and had to break it apart. Good battle all around it was close.

Felt like Dead should've use the whole 2 minutes. the last 15 seconds could've been used to string together some impactful lines. Deff could've made a differnece. Dexter had the better lines so i got him. Canvas line was tuffff good luck yall

Got my winner here both brung punches to the table I think one was more creative with it and executed his opponent good GC battle fellaz may the best 1 elevate 

I'ma come back to this one. Very dope battle especially for Round 1.

after a couple listens i have one taking this but not by much. felt both were pretty on par with one another as far as technicals go. one threw a few more punches than the other. this really comes down to preference.

Solid drops from both here. Punches from one were more clean and executed better but the metaphors and projectery both brought were dope!

Dope battle. Detri nice drop. You did ya thing. I've heard way better from ya in the past but you had some nice punches. Ya ending was solid as well ya opener. dex.first time actually hearingbya. And ya definitely a threat to be reckoned with. Overall you killed it in every category battle wise. Got my winner by a couple notches here.

Pretty even here. Felt one had better set ups which helped the punches land more .

Bar complexity and a slight edge in delivery got my vote here. Winners delivery was consistent while I felt like his opponent didn't really get cookin until about halfway through. Not a bad approach but you gotta bring more to the table lyrically to go that route successfully. Good battle and gl to the winner
