No he hasn't.
He 30d saga with a great angle on a topic that's been beat to death.
He got through all 3 of his rounds vs Ave. Ave won but Chess material in that battle was still really damn good and would of beat most people that day. Chess performance vs ave is still better then ANYTHING Mike P or Trez has done on URL.
He beat himself vs Roc. You stop Chess 3rd round before the police car segment and Chess wins clearly. And Chess first round is a top 5 round of the entire year.
Obviously he got smoked by JC.
Has Chess put it all together yet? No. But saying he's been choking since UFF is just wrong. Hell some of Chess best material came from him choking. His material vs DNA is still some of his best shyt to date.
I said choking and stumbling, 3rd round against Ave he stumbled.
Lets not throw Mike P and Trez in there because they were not given the same ceiling as Chess and neither are or ever been championed as the next greatest thing like Chess has.
The fact that you HAVE to cut his round short to give him the win against Roc says alot. The same way you have to ignore the throwing up in the DNA battle.
UFF was three years ago, he’s had more than enough battles to put it all together. I could see if he was infrequent as Wavy or a Ty Law but he’s not.
Chess is Surf jr, no matter how many debatables or losses this dude gets folks will still find a way to highlight dude.
1 convincing win since UFF....From a fan stand point NOBODY else has been given this many chances to prove their worth while increasing their resume with top tiers.
