From the jump, Scandalis put his distinct flavor on full display, dropping "harder hit punches" and real-talk bars that had the crowd buzzing, particularly in the opening round. His originality was undeniable, a breath of fresh air in an arena often dominated by familiar flows.
Tycoon Tax, despite showing flashes of improvement from past performances, found himself navigating choppy waters.

This contrast in delivery became a central theme of the battle.
The second round saw a significant moment when Scandalis stumbled, openly acknowledging his "f*** up" with a choke that swung momentum and the round in Tax's favor.
