Zen secured a dominant victory through sheer consistency and lyrical depth. While F-Don had moments of energy, his performance was critically undermined by significant chokes and stumbles in multiple rounds, particularly the mic drop in the second. Zen delivered three clean, lyrically complex rounds that, according to fans, were largely too sophisticated for the live crowd but undeniable on playback.
In a clash that became more about professionalism than punches, Zen delivered a lyrical masterclass that solidified his reputation as one of PenGame's most intricate writers. The battle against F-Don was largely defined by the latter's struggles with performance, as repeated chokes and a critical mic-drop in the second round crippled any momentum he tried to build. While the live crowd seemed slow to catch Zen's dense wordplay, online viewers hailed it as a dominant and clinical performance.
