This was a highly debatable, preference-based battle that split the fanbase down the middle. Big T gets the narrowest of nods due to his veteran performance, stage presence, and impactful haymakers that resonated strongly. While Gemin1 came with dense lyricism and arguably longer, more complex rounds, Big T's charisma, smoother delivery, and key moments like the 'Heroin a casket' and 'Trust Fall' bars seemed to control the room more effectively. Many fans scored it 2-1 for T, seeing his experience and performance as the deciding factors in a classic clash of styles.
