Round-by-Round
A-Class set the tone early with strong penmanship, while Deadman's opening, perceived as a 'lecture on racism,' fell flat and was widely panned by the audience.

Analysis

The Don't Flop stage played host to a clash that saw A-Class once again solidify his position as one of the circuit's most underrated pens, outmaneuvering The Deadman in a bout that left little doubt for the judges. A-Class brought the heat with a barrage of intricate multis and clever wordplay, consistently hitting the mark and showcasing why he's earned a reputation for not taking L's in recent years. His bars flew over some heads, but the replay value is undeniable.

On the other side of the ring, The Deadman wrestled with a combination of delivery challenges and content choices that failed to connect. His opening round, kicking off with an angle on racism, was widely perceived as a misstep, draining the energy from the room.

Despite the clear differential in performance, The Deadman did show flashes of potential in his writing, even if the execution didn't always hit. The crowd energy was noted as sleepy, and the battle itself stirred up the ongoing debate regarding the overall quality of Don't Flop USA events.
