I just realized something Lux has never been the underdog in a battle.
Lux has always been looked at as the apex of lyricism.
Combined with all his other attributes (charisma, presence, etc) being elite
it's almost impossible not to look at him that way
Usually when a nikka had a ton of charisma his complexity of bars would take a hit like let's say a Tech 9.
Tech had authenticity and power to his bars to compensate which still made him a tremendous force to respect.
It's like 2K, the nikka Lux would be like 97
Compared to other nikkas that would usually be around 88 on average.
Where a Mook would also be up there at 95 (hence Mook being the underdog in their rematch)
I don't know how else to explain it, but I think you get what I'm sayin LOL
