Lux v Hollow - Tough Call

I've had to watch this battle about four times to make a decision. With my final verdict I still feel like I may be wrong but here's how I see it. The first round was really close, I'd say Lux edged it, his Drake scheme was the business and he had some other hot lines in there. Hollow didn't have anything that quite reached the heights despite a gassed up crowd for him.
The second round I felt Lux was taking a little long to get to his punches. Hollow was more potent in the second. He started to break down Lux rhyme style with a 'Just because you don't understand him, doesn't make him nice' approach which worked really well because there's a lot of truth to that statement about Lux. So Hollow won the second round. The third is probably the most debatable. I kinda felt that Lux third was a lot like his second though, I wasn't hearing a lot of new stuff and for me it got a little boring if I'm going to be super critical. I wanted him to get to the point a bit quicker. It kind of felt like he was throwing and connecting with a lot of jabs but no knock out blows. Hollow was a lot more engaging. I thought he had a better angle on Lux. Where Lux went on a rant about Hollows supposed but I feel unfounded drug problem, Hollow came a little more realistic about Lux preachy attitude and broke him down that way. Not to mention a well timed human prop toward the end. For me, Hollow took it in the third. Just. Great, great battle. And a great job from the Dinananon to topple such a legend as Lux.

[My Verdict 2-1 Hollow Da Don]
