heavy-hitting

German translation: schlagkräftig

English to German translations [PRO]
Cinema, Film, TV, Drama / Anna Nicole Smith Show
English term or phrase: heavy-hitting
Anna brings in a heavy-hitting friend to trade blows in the pink ring with the reigning king of luxurious furniture, Bobby Trendy over the quality of his product.

Geht das in Richtung "schlagfertig"/"schwer zu überzeugen"?

Mein Vorschlag bisher:
Anna bringt einen schlagfertigen Freund mit, der sich mit Luxusmöbelkönig Bobby Trendy einen Schlagabtausch über die Qualität von dessen Produkten liefert.
