[GrimmReaperZ]

Doubt youll show or appear in the ring...and by the wayz it's looking
ya might as well stop this before even hearing the *ding*...like microwave cooking

[Bomb Bard]

Listen...
Have U Broken Down in the Street, Cos I’m hating this chump
It’s either I shoot this Retarder they’ll be pulling pieces of skull out the breaks of my truck

[Greedy]

Vote bomb bard.
Grimm- great wording. But ur concept is super old. Ur wording made it decent enough.
Bomb- this was fire imo. I had the opposite feeling about wording, didnt love yours. Clean enough wording. But the brake retarder concept tho. Man thats mean. And u executed it well

[YG]

Thought Bomb had a more creative and harsh punch than Grimm

I've seen that timer going off concept that Grimm used & even tho it was an alright flip it didn't do enough here

v/Bomb Bard

[Networth]

So yea, I looked this over a few times.
Thought both lines had medium sting, with equally odd structure.
It came down to the concept and the delivery. Grimm had a weaker concept but a better flow/delivery,
while Bomb had a stronger concept with a weaker flow.

I had an easier read with the 'ring' and 'ding' lines, but the broken down in the street/ retarder;brakes wordplay punch took it hEAr for me because of its edge in complexity.

V/Bomb and^^Notice how I spelled that wrong hear/ instead of here/ similar to /breaks instead of /brakes can make a difference in reading quite dramatically sometimes. BE clear on word placement for future sake

[Ryno]

v. bomb bard ...i didnt like grimms bar at all tbh. not really that creative. bb had the harder hit

[MV]

v/bomb
i didnt think Grimms punch was bad. the idea was a bit dated tho unfortunately bomb dropped a pretty viscous punch this week. at the end of the bar i actually said eww and gave it the scrunched up face +headshake. good shit

[Phalanx]

Vote - Bomb.

Grip got caught slipping. Always a risk to make the assumption you can take the foot off the fas. It was an okay jab. But that was it.

Bomb had a more creative concept...and despite misspelling brakes...(in a punch about brakes), he managed to keep his wording clean enough to make it hit. I feel like it was a more effective jab than your opponents.

Decent match. But Bomb took it.

[CleverWordz]

I think Grimms punch was cool, but overly slept on via opponent. The microwave concept has been used on several occasions or flipped into a better execution rather. Bomb the only problem I have is the wording of break/brake connection. I understood your meaning just lacked the transition a bit. Creative approach nonetheless.

Overall: I have to give Bomb as the more creative sting this battle. Good stuff guys. Grim next time don't underestimate the timeline of you're opponent.

Bomb wins
