[@ebinflo102]

Dope one rounder from both! Shame about the choke cuz EK material was fire as usual. Of course A Ward came w the heat as well. Really diggin this MMA ish, and I wish y’all nothing but success going forward. We need more leagues that prioritize quality. Salute!

[@micmasters801]

Appreciate that a ton bro, also dope breakdown! We're doing our best and will continue down that path! #Salute #BarsLetsGo

[@anonimus5996]

Yeah, EK's nice, but not nice enough to beat A Ward. He's got potential, I think he just needs to calm his emotions more and he would be a serious threat. Sometimes nerves and juice will make you stumble. Don't under do it, but don't over do it either.

[@thomasgooden]

EK got him. The oxymoron scheme did enough for me. I never understood why A Ward talks violence. He said he'd pull up to EK's set with a .38... 😕 20:33 You know what, idk if a little choke is worse than contradicting when all a man has is his word.

[@Ace-vf2uf]

That was never a little joke from EK and if he didn’t slip up, I certainly would have given him this battle. However, Ward was impeccable from start to finish with intricate bars, flows and lyricism with hard hitting rebuttals. Definitely too much for EK. Fire battle though.

[@thomasgooden]

@@Ace-vf2uf his choke isnt worse than a award contradicting himself.

[@TylerRoseSings]

@@thomasgoodena ward isn’t contradicting himself, he’s always publicly talked about having a gun and using it if he had to. And in this case, it’s just a Setup for a bar anyway.

[@thomasgooden]

@@TylerRoseSings its contradicting being a christian rapper talking about pulling up with a .38. so it makes EK's oxymoron scheme hit even harder and why he won.

[@TylerRoseSings]

@@thomasgooden a lot of rappers consider themselves Christian, people like A ward and saga just make it a bigger part of their content. Twork himself is a heavily publicly confessed Christian, and he’s not considered hypocritical for his gun bars.

[@AcEdaProdigy]

Great battle. Ward with a clear win. Rebuttals were incredible. That being said, he was also getting a lot of gas from the horsemen. And my fav bars were from EK. But the choke really killed his momentum and subsequent performance.

[@micmasters801]

Thank you for the breakdown yet again. This was intense in the building and a great way to close the event!

[@jared4034]

Even with the choke, I gave this to E. The bars he was able to get out cut so much deeper than Ward's superficial arrangement of kennedy's identity. Ward is so focused on the show that he cuts corners with his estimation of his opponents and takes too many liberties with half-baked concepts to be really convincing. He's made mountains out of mole-hills so often over the years that i just can't trust him anymore. I just hear a liar.
