This is why battlers gotta be ranked. Bigg K is most likely going to beat Yung Ill.

This goes back to what I was saying. COTY is not based on strength of schedule. I’ll admit there has to be some credit for showing up on the big cards. I just think names like Rex and Yung Ill should hurt your strength of schedule.
Yeah I think clear wins supersedes level of competition on COTY voting.

The name rather than the quality of the performance means most. So Rex and Ill are big names, even with their current level of performance being not high, it holds more weight than beating someone with a lesser name but more talented currently (Like say a Real Sikh for example).

If I beat Rex, Reed Dollaz, Yung Ill, and let’s say Cassidy, that’s a champion of the year resume. Kind of crazy right ?

Plus Mook, so you know that's gonna carry crazy weight for the voters. The names gonna carry him to get high votes in COTY. I think Eazy will probably still win as long as he does good against Geechi and takes 1 more before the year ends. He's gonna have Hitman, Reed, Diz, and Geechi as wins. If he just gets 1 more respectable name, he'll probably win.

Even with Eazy stopping short in his 2nd he cooked Diz something serious

That was a 3-0 CLEAR. That mightve been the best Eazy ever.

nikkas really thought that wasnt a body? :what:

This depends because you know Bigg K is gonna get another name before the end of this year as well. Hell, he might take two more battles after Young Ill with the way he’s been going. Eazy will have finished the year with only 4 battles (1 per quarter) and the names Bigg K has are just as good cumulatively.

Would be dope to see them settle it vs each other in Nov or Dec, but they will hold that battle back until 2024

Eazy and Bigg K eventually gonna have to see each other next year.

I don’t think Bigg K can beat Eazy, but I do believe that Geechi can beat Eazy. Well within the realm of possibility. Gonna be interesting.
