[@stepxstepdance]

What a great battle! Both incredible dancers

[@mkim64]

Dj plays the same song for 2.5 sets and Thesis kills the new track? All dope sets but tad unfair for Niek :/

[@kevinbaculi]

I was thinking that too

[@Angelo-uo2gj]

Man even I'm still salty after all these years. Niek man he was killing it all night.

[@teekomeeko]

Well, that was a shock. As much as I love Thesis, I honestly think he didn't quite bring the energy and consistency on the beat that Niek did. But hey, a good battle is a good battle, and at least this was arguable - I hate obvious blow outs.

[@deo.strengthspan.project]

Congrats to Thesis!
I think both Thesis and Niek have a great balance of musicality and moves. Great final!

[@hotdoggy84]

niek for me!!but it was in the usa right? :-P

[@cyberex7]

Wow I thought Niek took that

[@cyberex7]

***** True definately a close battle but I thought Niek was cleaner

[@alexmpyun]

***** yeah it was close. thesis came out strong but started slipping towards the end

[@zusamin1]

***** well niek was very musical too, though not as much as thesis. i dont understand the decision

[@kenyonr]

Niek was clean but "basic"

[@marcelofbc]

Niek took it

[@ctubeguy]

Dope battle! I honestly felt niek did better. He came in harder and every one of his moves was on point! Although Thesis had musicality, his moves didnt stand out like Niek's; thesis seemed to be a bit relaxed in his moves! Just my opinion. Round for round, Niek took the first 2 rounds and Thesis took the 3rd. Good battle tho!

[@thekosk]

Niek was on point and on beat through his rounds and then they switch to an awesome beat and thesis wins the last round and the battle, not fair!

[@roadto2k199]

Daniel Cha i dont fucking get it anymore,are we talking abt dancing or just mvoves that we can throw?

[@thekosk]

Huh?

[@roadto2k199]

nvm me

[@kenyonr]

Haha what?

[@NicanorMercado]

It's always dope seeing these two battle.

[@bastilastalky]

2:37 knee knee big hooters

[@minhquan2326]

Help Fist songs Please ??

[@Luciole151]

I feel like niek did better but still props to both of them

[@YRFILMSCOL]

how is the name of the first song?

[@patrolli3085]

Name of the song?

[@botasbeatyt6175]

congrulation my favorite bboy thesis (y) (y)

[@karinalopez-mz9nc]

I could be trippin...but I swear I heard the "Mighty Ducks Quack" at the very end...

[@noahbrackenbury]

Thesis is so dope here, I just feel like he needs more punctuation in his rounds. A few good freezes in the right places would make him stand out more, to me.

[@masteryas21]

Dope battle... I love those two bboys... They should be part of the bc1 all stars... but i prefer Niek if i had to choose! so impressive those 2 cats reach the final and have that energy, stamina, some crazy sets to drop. peace.

[@pauladrianadriano1748]

What is the first song please?

[@troychiefari]

in korea where we can see what judges score. niek would win.

[@ittiechuman7991]

what i really like about thesis, despite beeing damn good, is: he never signed to red bull, monster or whatever bullshit there is! Huge Credit for that, he stays on top for pure skills.

[@Fabregas200788]

I'd add he stays CLEAN in breaking, if you know I mean

[@TheMightyPirateTm]

That was some intricate footwork by Thesis, nice battle

[@kodozer]

Thesis also made it to the quarterfinals in the 3v3. He burned alot of his good rounds in those battles. Incredible how he still had gas left to win this let alone enter.

[@s_pick420]

thesis has a shit ton of moves and gas.

[@ZuluZombie]

Kneefur I know you meant well with that comment but it just sounded funny to me. lol

[@i8myrice2day2]

He still used the same moves during the 3v3's. The event is separated in different days so the competitors won't get fatigued and gassed out.

[@tremainemoss9455]

I was here. The crowd was hyped for Thesis all night. He was putting in major work in the cyphers, nobody was touching him that night. Y'all don't even know though saying Niek gets no respect from outside his country? He was loved in the cyphs all night, if you weren't there I could understand how you feel online but that's not true. You had to be there, plus people were straight winded in between battles to be super hyped each time.

[@davidebria8170]

HELP MEEEE, BRAND T-SHIRT thesis, it is beautiful!!!

[@motuscinema3979]

Watched the battle read the comments watched again THESIS all 3 rounds. He's DANCING and he's DANCING like no one else = originality = can't be beat. Those judges know this.

[@BboyADHD]

Yo, what's the song at 3:33???

[@mythking541]

Yo, Thesis was on some Avatar shit, being one with the music. Literally every move he made was a different section of the song.

[@louistim_]

I love the first Song! what's the song's name?

[@Fabregas200788]

Niek was so clean but he lacked in some strong flow or blow-ups
Thesis had water flow, his sets were unbreakable and like one continious flow; plus he had some very original transitions like in the very last set
I think it's 2:1 for Thesis, tiebreaker would be out of line imo
dope battle either way, props to both bboys

[@FFmaxxx]

This. Thesis remembered it's a dance. Not about the moves. He flowed in and out. Niek had cool moves for sure but he didnt connect to the musical better than thesis.

[@evil_proof]

Name of the songs please))

[@dppss92006]

3:33 song name please! !

[@EneaMelaj]

what is name of first song please?

[@Hasharu]

Niek got the first two rounds, but Thesis got the last one for sure. Both did great, but I think Niek should have gotten this one.

[@orangeOHJAY]

To those judging online: if you weren't there, you didn't feel that the energy was more towards Thesis.

[@danyrock1337]

song???

[@brightlighthorizonnn]

Thesis is so dope in such a fucked-up way, incredible...

[@BboyAjKill]

[@iBillEgaming]

[@Ostblock_Coaching]

wtf niek lost ???????

[@bine952]

Você entende de break??

[@LaFamilia047]

So dope battle! To me it was tie!

[@ariDeMon7479]

5:01 hell yeah, that's the attitude

[@mikmoon5050]

Thesis is a big inspiration and RESPECT for this great Bboy but...Get Robbed... i think... Batlle in USA Is everytime the same thing. if a american bboy didn't won. is not right and people don't make some nose for a bboy from a another country. Bullshit

[@GunBlade666]

1st round: Niek
2nd : Thesis
3rd : Thesis for sure, niek was looking tired by round 3

[@timiland5881]

nah man, Niek killed that shit. thesis didn't win man. Strong finish and an aesthetic round was Niek every time.

[@alanjuanchobboy8518]

pff mamasela

[@bboystancho]

Niek was much more smooth and with great flava to watch. :(

[@reezyrocks12]

[@BBOYSOKU]

They both went 2 rounds each with the same song. Dj come on

[@kalmaros28]

[@mattbagel10]

For all those who don't know Thesis is returning to red bull bc one this year

[@zusamin1]

[@alanjuanchobboy8518]

[@Maajkelo]

[@nothinbutflavah6009]

Damn! Thesis!

[@ittiechuman7991]

4:19 smooth

[@joskax5182]

This one should have been for Niek but... biased judging.

[@Bboy51fiftyone]

Mike Shinoda is that you?

[@tlyang7992]

Poor song choice for a final battle, crowd was dead...and I love Thesis but Niek robbed.

[@Breakdancesogamoso]

Meh, Niek took this.

[@dinoedsonmclean4077]

[@davidopazo8958]

[@Braselton21]

Those girls are looking at Niek like 0_o :D Mr Steal Yo Gurl

[@jonathansantiago8601]

thesis was def more on beat

[@thaDavieDougie]

Some of Niek's flows/combos remind me of Wing, anyone else notice 0.obtw Niek killed this battle

[@throwmeaname]

LMFAO flexum!!

[@kose1016]

Niek isn't my favorite but he won for me.

[@thegodfather4713]

The decision was very surprising, the winner (Niek) had to be
Winner Just do it

[@kompak]

Eh what..? Niek was better.

[@alanjuanchobboy8518]

noob

[@stillclaimndp]

Alan Juancho Bboy noob nothing, Niek was more complete, rocked tons of beats, had more energy, had more fantastic blow ups... that was all Niek. Thesis seriously had a couple moments, Niek was 100% on it all three rounds.

[@alanjuanchobboy8518]

Thesis 100% originality
Niek do moves like others bboys

[@gymnasticabyjorgevegayalec2264]

Thesis was great but for me Niek took this one!

[@user-hm1vz2eu9m]

NIEK!!!

[@RACDANCE123BABY]

Those horns aren't 5 min material, Mr. DJ :P

[@HellYeahApocalypse]

no party or big noise for the announcement of the winner , i love thesis but here he clearly lost.....

[@JoaoPaulo-dp4eb]

Niek 2x 1 Thesis = Niek wins

[@BlitzIceShot]

I think thesis won because niek did use the same moves from last battles

[@55OmegA55]

Hahah Flexum at the end. That's wassup.

[@AppreciatingLife]

having a dark colored floor is a no no .....need to make it light and bright so people /judges can see the detail going on.
And..Im a thesis fan but he lost this battle.
