This was a highly debatable classic that fans were split on. While Swave Sevah delivered a masterful veteran performance with unique angles, Twork's explosive haymakers and timely rebuttals had a slightly greater impact. The emotional weight of his 'kick a habit' bar and the cleverness of his second-round rebuttal were the most talked-about moments, giving him a slight edge in a battle where both stocks rose.
