This was a highly debatable preference battle that could have been called either way. Family Man Hays (Syah Boy) gets the slight edge due to landing more impactful, memorable haymakers that controlled the crowd's energy, particularly in the second round. While Bonnie Godiva was arguably more consistent and had a very strong third round, Hays' peak moments, like the 'Lonzo Ball's dad' line, were the biggest punches of the battle and likely swayed the judges in a close contest.
