1-2 Punch Season 27 E-Zine: Volume 4
Intro
Well last week was a complete shit show. People no showing, and like 3-4 of you didn't vote, even though you won the battle. We're back down to 4 battles from the 8 we had last week. With that being said, let's make this a dope week. We've started Contenders and Champ matches, so let's see who can hold onto that top spot.
Battle Summaries
Belooshka vs Krucial Th1rt3en
vs
This really was a closer battle than the votes are saying. Krucial had a decent self name play that had the correlations it needed, but it wasn't directly dissing his opponent. Dumbed down it basically reads "doesn't matter how good you get, you won't beat me". I think you need more sting added to really resonate with the voters. Belooshka had a cool little name play, which you would have to know who dagel is to get it. Krucial has the mechanics down though, so I can see him being a threat in the very near future.
Smog vs KnowP
vs
I'm gonna be honest, thought Smog got robbed here. KnowP had a generic throat slashing punch which he used sliding dms as the correlation/entendre. It's okay, but Smog had the personal factor in their which should always get the dub if punches are close.. The voters felt differently however, and KnowP ended up taking the win.
Joe Boston vs plethora
vs
Joe Boston needs to learn how to write more with less. Always has stretched lines and it takes away from his impact. He had an okay punch but could have been executed much better. plethora had a pretty decent punch with his lager / log her joint and took the win comfortably.
The Villain. vs Viral
vs
nothing
I dunno why the fuck dagel even signed up for this. His bar was stretched as fuck, had no impact and he included a long winded expo for his shit bar. Viral is a faggot for no showing. Dagel is a faggot for not voting (among other things). Fuck you both.
Witty vs Basic M
vs
nothing
I dunno what happened to the homie Basic, but it's unfortunate to see him go. Witty had a decent punch that coulda been executed better but decent nonetheless. Then he didn't vote on shit and got booted from the league.. smh
Smash vs Alphabet
vs
nothing
I was stoked to see alpha come out of the woodwork, then he no showed smh some people never change. Smash obviously keyed his punch because it was very lackluster conceptually and the way it was executed was blah. And then smash didn't vote on shit and got himself booted. later bitch!
Crack Morris vs Allen Knight
nothing
vs
Allen Knight had a cool name play that would have probably got him the win anyway, but then Crack Morris no showed like a bitch. Good shit AK. Fuck you Crack!
Requiem vs OG Maestro
vs
First off, why the fuck is OG praising Smash for his wack 3 bar style and then using that as a diss against Requiem? Fucking guy... It made sense with his haiku concept but the contradiction kills me. Requiem could have had this with a little cleaner wording. He's gonna be a problem in the very near future..

Week 5 Match Ups / Predictions
Champ Match: KnowP vs plethora
KnowP is gonna have to bring back his old self to compete with plethora. Can he do it? I think he has the experience and the skill to do it. But plethora is dropping crazy shit consistently these days.. I'm gonna have to give the edge to plethora here.
plethora: 60 | KnowP: 40
Contenders Match: Requiem vs Belooshka aka Zunto
This one could be close. Zunto is a troll but he also has the basics of battling down. Requiem is doing his thing though and has been putting work in and perfecting his craft. I think once he clicks he's gonna be a beast. We'll see what happens, but as is I gotta go 50/50 on this battle.
Requiem: 50 | Zunto: 50
Barcotic vs Bomb Bard
Bomb Bard is a decent battler but Barcotic is one of the best battlers to ever do this. He has many notable wins under his belt and he rarely drops anything that isn't worth talking about. Bomb Bard is gonna have to hope for a no show or to catch him sleeping if he's gonna take this one.
Barcotic: 80 | Bomb Bard: 20
Joe Boston vs Krucial Th1rt3en
This should be an interesting match up.. You never know what Joe Boston is gonna come up with; I have seen him drop dope before believe it or not. But normally he just doesn't put enough thought into his shit or something lol I don't know. Judging by Krucials bar last week and Joe's last few bars I'ma have to give the edge to Krucial this week.
Krucial Th1rt3en: 60 | Joe Boston: 40
