This was a pretty even battle here. Both had their ups ands down in their pieces. Both had some creative thought process taking place. Some of the thoughtout concepts worked and some others didn't. Nontheless, an enjoyable read from both. Good luck to whomever goes through. One edged it with the more creative concepts that worked. Fairs in, i'm out.

I needed extension. Thought I had posted it.

man i swear i think baron kinda underestimated his opponent or something here coz thats way far away from his best stuff !!

Bar - 1 - Swift

both were decent here the only difference being that while i felt baron was nice with lols swift had me going damn with lols!

Bar - 2 - Baron

moses and red and nile reference are more played than even da feet/defeat bars now, that shit was played even in the 90s. while i'm not sure i liked baron's tranquilizers play much but here gets this one for just being fresh.

Bars - 3 & 4 - Swift

i felt baron could have done more with this bar here but felt a little under done no punch really while swift the magician plays and the correctional one which were okayish but still had the higher number of punchlines here.

Bars - 5 & 6 - Swift

this is where i felt baron rushed his verse even more, he went for the taylor swift set up which felts reaching coz of the inefficient wording and did not have effective name flips whereas he could have while kale and limes was the only good thing in the whole 2 bars while swift took this one home with the flintstones bit though the smoke detector metaphor was a little reaching too but only a little.

Bar - 7 - Baron

i think thats pac in swift's avi but ur flip did not come off a set up which was related to pac in anyway which made it seem just a filler jab with good multis while swift had another overplayed concept in the delivery and abortion and even food joints bit which is just not something you should do in a tourney battle unless you relating it to a verifiable personal charactaristic of your opponent man. however imma give this one to baron for being more original.

Bar - 8 - Swift

baron this was the weakest in you whole verse man and this exactly made me confident that you either rushed ur verse or underestimated your opponent here. while swift had a better approach with a metaphor though not all that strong coz of a better set up but still came off as a punch.

Swiftkey gets an automatic L for biting his closer. See here: https://www.letsbeef.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1177439&posted=1#post1177439

and just like that somehow shodan still manages to drop the BOTB even i battles he aint competing in.

This was a very close battle I thought one barley took this one here my fair vote is always tossed fellas good battle

Far as I'm concerned this is an auto-win for -RED-BARON-... 

Not completely sure how X will handle this, but swift has been acused of biting part of his drop. That said, I hope it's not true, but the proof is spot on and it's almost a word for word bite. this will still be an auto win, even if X finds that the guy you bit it from is one of your multi accounts. That's recycling, which is also against the rules. Sucks man. Not sure why you bit or recycled, not like it was stiff competition. Maybe it's because you were short in time and needed a bar to finish, whatever the case maybe, goodluck to both of you. Baron, you'll need it next round, and swift,  you'll need it because of your current situation. This would have been a good battle otherwise. And swift would have received my vote. But beacause of current events, I have to give this to Baron. Thank you both for showing up though. Nice to see some battles first round.

Interesting read...

Swift key used his space well and structures some Punchs that hit nicer than I expected. Keep this momentum throughout his verse, could have been stronger but did what he needed to do...  

Red baron equally had some punches thrown but I felt the execution was sloppy with the flow not reading out the best from him... And use of smaller Dialect compared to his more normal extravagant verses filled with bloodshed... Felt it may have been a little rushed? I could be wrong.....

Very good battle to read with both coming at each other.. And was hard to choose off first read. Stronger fluent punches took this for me again close shit.... But my fairs is tossed.... 

Just to add didn't know anything had been bitten.... WOW this still happening? Jheeze
