[@undergroundheatcypher1091]

Balboa 3rd round was crazy 🤪

[@AntLive-lu5qx]

I had this DVD back in ‘05. I always liked Balboa better, his bars were more intricate and thought out. NH’s bars were more basic but he spit it with aggression so it sounds like he was killing him but if you judge bars you know Balboa was better!

[@war307wp]

Factor in, that it was a significant age difference between the two. NH was like 15-16 years old, other bull was a grown man. H still held his own! Jersey bull can rap tho, can’t take nothing away from em. Salute to both spittaz. #PHILLY 🤞🏽
