The fan consensus, while overwhelmingly negative about the battle's quality, slightly favors Big Kannon. Viewers felt Kannon came more prepared with structured rounds and angles, whereas Charlie Clips was heavily criticized for relying on freestyles and appearing uninterested. Kannon's more solid material, particularly in the second and third rounds, gave him the edge in a low-energy affair.

Round-by-Round
Rd 1Charlie ClipsA debatable round. Kannon's angles about Clips' father seemed to throw him off, but Clips' ability to freestyle and land a few notable punches like his 'Saved by the Bell' scheme gave him a slight edge in a lackluster opening.
Rd 2Big KannonKannon took this round clearly. His material was more focused and landed with more intent. Clips continued to freestyle, and while impressive to some, it lacked the substance and cohesion of Kannon's written round.
Rd 3Big KannonKannon sealed the victory here with a strong angle, particularly his humorous bars about Math Hoffa. Clips' freestyle in the third had moments, but Kannon's preparation and direct attacks were more effective and memorable.
Analysis

What was billed as a potential standout clash on Go-Rilla Warfare's 'The Crown 2' card ultimately landed with a thud, leaving fans and critics largely underwhelmed. The battle between Big Kannon and Charlie Clips became a tale of two different approaches, set against the backdrop of a notoriously quiet Chicago crowd that offered little energy. Charlie Clips, a top-tier name, opted for a performance heavy on freestyles, which drew criticism for a perceived lack of preparation and focus.

While he delivered flashes of his signature wit, including a well-received 'Saved by the Bell' scheme, the performance felt disjointed. Big Kannon, on the other hand, came with a more structured game plan. Though his delivery was also critiqued for not being dynamic enough, his prepared material and direct angles, especially in the later rounds, proved to be more effective.

The consensus from the comment section was clear: the battle was a major letdown. Most viewers gave a reluctant win to Big Kannon 2-1, crediting his preparation over Clips' spontaneous but ultimately less impactful approach in a contest many felt should have stayed in the vault.
