This was a highly debatable, back-and-forth classic that could have gone either way. Charlie Clips came out of the gate on fire with a vintage first round, silencing doubters. However, Shotti P weathered the storm and consistently landed heavier, more memorable punches in the second and third rounds. While many score it for Clips based on his explosive start, Shotti's consistency and powerful haymakers, like the 'depressed .38' flip, gave him the slight edge needed to take a 2-1 victory in a battle where the culture truly won.

Shotti P sealed the deal with a strong, consistent final round. Clips' momentum faded slightly, and his botched rebuttal confusing 'Happy Gilmore' with 'Billy Madison' was a stumble that Shotti capitalized on to take the round cleanly.
