This is a highly debatable and controversial battle, primarily due to Amzilla's round being cut short. Based on the footage available, X-Factor gets the slight edge. He came out with an aggressive, high-energy performance full of punchlines that were tailor-made for a live crowd. His material was more direct and landed with more immediate impact. Amzilla's round was lyrically dense and complex, but the premature 'time' call by the host casts a massive shadow over the entire affair, preventing a definitive conclusion and making this a classic 'what if' scenario.

Round-by-Round
In this single, unlimited round, X-Factor's consistent barrage of comedic and disrespectful punches connected more effectively with the live audience. His performance was undeniable. Amzilla responded with more intricate and lyrical bars that might hit harder on re-watch, but his momentum was completely halted by the controversial stoppage. X takes it based on what was completed.
Analysis

In a heated one-round clash on home turf, Detroit's own X-Factor came out swinging against Queens native Amzilla. Riding the energy of the Motor City crowd, X delivered a relentless onslaught of punchlines, blending street grit with off-the-wall humor. Lines about snuffing his own son and his opponent's questionable Jeep decal had the building shaking, showcasing a commanding stage presence and a knack for bars that land instantly.

Amzilla, however, refused to be a simple stepping stone. He weathered the initial storm and fired back with a round full of complex schemes and intricate wordplay. His multi-layered bars, like the 'telepathic energy' and 'Alistair Overeem' setups, demonstrated a high-level pen game designed for the true lyrical heads.

He was methodically breaking down X-Factor with sharp writing that demanded the audience's full attention. Just as Amzilla was hitting his stride, the battle was derailed by a cloud of controversy. In what was billed as an unlimited round, the host unexpectedly called 'time,' abruptly halting Amzilla's momentum.

The Queens emcee's quick-witted freestyle rebuttal—'Gimme some more like my name is Busta Rhymes'—was a flash of brilliance in a frustrating moment. The premature ending left a bad taste in fans' mouths and forever stamped this battle with an asterisk, fueling debates about what could have been had Zilla been allowed to finish his round.
