AI Verdict
While Skelly brought a commendable aggression and had the home crowd behind him, Pass's superior technical skill and versatility were the deciding factors. His second-round double-time flow was a show-stopping moment that Skelly had no answer for, and it created a clear separation in a battle that was otherwise competitive.
In a classic clash of styles at KOTD's Blackout 2, the West Coast's technical wizard Pass faced off against Canada's own aggressive puncher, Skelly. The battle was a tight contest defined by the stark contrast between Skelly's raw, in-your-face delivery and Pass's slick, multi-faceted lyricism. Skelly came out strong, leveraging the home crowd's energy to arguably take the first round with hard-nosed bars.
But the tide turned dramatically in the second. Pass put on a clinic, unleashing a blistering double-time flow that became the talk of the battle, a clear display of elite-level skill that left the audience and Skelly shook. That momentum carried through the rest of the match.
