98 Mile: VOTE Jon Wallach Vs. Marc Bertrand

BOSTON (CBS) -- The final first-round rap battle took place Wednesday morning, and it was a doozy.

Morning headline man and reigning 98 Mile champion Jon Wallach squared off against midday host Marc Bertrand. And things, as always, got a little ugly.

This was perhaps the most-hyped battle of the first round, as Rich Shertenlieb heard both raps ahead of time and promised they were exceptional.

They did not disappoint.

Bertrand -- a former headline man-turned-host -- went hard after Wallach. "Been wasting most of your life reading off the Sports Hub headlines," Bertrand rapped to Coolio's "Gangsta's Paradise."

Wallach went with "The Humpty Dance" as his bed, shouting, "Are you aware your career is all because of me?" while also throwing in some UMass digs.

The winner of this match will join James Stewart, Rich Keefe and Fred Toucher in the second round.

We are unable to post the raps due to copyright restrictions, but if you heard them on T&R, vote below!

Thanks for voting! Jon Wallach won this battle with 56 percent of the votes!
