In a battle widely considered a debatable classic and a 'mirror match,' B Magic gets the narrowest of victories. While Rum Nitty had a star-making performance and a monster third round, Magic's status as the originator of the style and his slightly more polished delivery in the first two rounds give him the edge. The fan consensus is deeply divided, with many calling it a tie, but Magic's foundational performance was just enough to withstand Nitty's incredible showing.
