The Don't Flop champ steps down.

I thought this battle was good. Definitely living up to both battlers abilities. But it actually felt like a mismatch to me. If Tony D beat Shotty, he wasn't going to lose to Unan. I thought Dialect would have been a better opponent. Suffice to say Unan did do his thing but his thing just wasn't good enough in terms of quality and it was pretty obvious after the first round the contrast and difference in skill level between the two.
Tony D easily took the first two rounds winning the battle. Unan got very personal in the third and could have got a slap from Tony D and it would have been justified considering the content. But cool as he is, Tony soaked it up and won the third to make it a whitewash.
What was interesting is that after winning this one so comfortably he decided to relinquish his title. I found that to be a bit weak. He should really keep going until he loses it in a battle rather then just giving it up. He had his reasons but as a fan of battle rap and great battlers continuing to showcase their skills, I don't think they were good enough reasons. Tony has lost the passion apparently but it didn't seem like it in the battle as he was highly on point. So I find it a shame he's just gonna give it up like that. But fair play, he has left a legacy as the only battler to successfully defend the DF title not twice but now three times. Congratulations to Tony, and I hope he decides to battle Chilla Jones in April. But don't count on it.

[My Verdict 3-0 Tony D]
