Curious to know exactly what the thought process for Flea, Ronnie, and Jon was. Nino has no toprock to speak of, but super clean power to footwork flow as always, and of course power heavy with less footwork. Jeff was a beat monster with everything, more of a unique freestyle rather than any kind of sets, with massively impressive movement and control, and blazing fast at that. Even though his last set didn't have the energy of the first two, it was still clean and top notch. Hard to see the decision going to Nino here even with his rounds being as good as they were.

IMO it could’ve gone either way. I think we can all agree that Jeffro got the 2nd round and El Niño got the 3rd. The 1st round was the tossup, and who you thought won is dependent on your values of what you like as a bboy/bgirl. Big up to both dancers. And big big up to Break Free for throwing a fire event! 🔥

Play at .75x and tell me it was a close battle. Beats sound kinda nice too.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I know this situation with call out, but for me El Nino won. he got more completed sets.

great battle! fk the drama!

The zeku vs victor battle was the illest in my response. But ye I could see how jeffro was upset. He was over all original coming up with fresh moves. El finished strong but that shouldn't matter in my opinion. Overall from start to finish I would of voted for Jeff.

What's the last song?

If it was a two round battle I think the judges would have go with Jeffro, although el nino slightly had the second round. But Jeffro really came short and in my opinion didn’t secure the bag in the 3rd round. This made El Nino walk away with it. Even when it looks to me like he wasn’t really battling Jeffro. Both are 🔥 But looking forward to see Jeffro go at it again!

It was a close battle

Classic BBoy flava vs speed and blowups// I feel it was a very close battle until the end of the third round where Jeffro got heavy and sloppy bs pookies clean finish. I can understand why he would be upset but he could’ve went about it a different way after the battle in a cypher or some thing

I'm just watching this now.Both dancers we're awesome but I pick Jeffro for the win.Jeffro came to battle!

It's interesting to think about what exactly set off Jeffro in the first place. Losses happen all the time in breaking, so I'm sure he's used to this happening, so what set this apart? The day before, he told El Nino he needed new moves if he wanted to win, implying that he probably thinks he has a better range of moves. On top of this he has more flava and rides the beat better (my opinion but I think y'all can probably agree). Seems to me like he clearly thinks he's better based on this. Even so, El Nino told him he didn't find him a threat during this segment, and went on to beat him. Losing after a direct and public squabble like this probably made him feel more emasculated than usual, so this is what I suspect made it worse than a usual loss and pushed him to call the judges out. What do y'all think it was? Also I don't really blame him for calling out the judges in the sense that there have been so many judge callouts in the scene I can't even count. Being exposed to this for years definitely normalizes it as something that's okay, so people are bound to repeat what they see. I didn't even really question it until hearing the discussion by Havikoro and also Flea Rock. Which is why it's important that they're opening up the dialogue. Definitely opened my eyes about the ideal way to do call-outs.

last song please

So many judges in the comment section lmao

RAD should be acknowledged, anyone who says otherwise are trippin on themselves, (amongst healthy currents, all boats move).

was this the reason jeff called out the judges???

1. round: jeffro 2.round: jeffro/el nino 3.round: el nino

El nino: Round 1 and 3 Jeffro: Round 2 IMO

I got R1 to Jeffro just by a little bit, R2 Jeffro decisively, and R3 to El nino decisively. Honestly R1 could go either way though

I think Jeffro won the first two rounds. His mistake was in thinking that he had it in the bag and relaxing too much on his last round. You were battling El Niño, who’s no slouch and had some of his friends judging, you should have finished him Jeffro, not underestimate him. I think we won’t see El Niño winning any big comps anymore in the future, but we’ll see Jeffro win. Look at Zebulon. How many years of work has he been putting in and not winning, and now he’s starting to win?! Congrats Zeku!

With all due respect el nino did great but i feel like with his style hes not on beat as much.very original with speed and control.but honestly my vote went with jeffro and its basically because he also has speed and control AND more musicality.i feel like he has more to offer than the 4 fundamentals.im no judge but i get more energy out of watching jeffro break and hes more unpredictable and keeps you watching every detail.

Jeffro was lookin a lil tired in round 3

close battle I think jeffro won but he he didn’t torch anyone like he said he did, it was very close

IMO the first round could've went either way, depending what judges were looking for. Jeffro had second round decisively, and third round was El Niño's. But overall Jeffro had more energy and originality, I would've gave Jeffro the win but I'm not a judge.

For me 1st round Jeffro. 2nd Round I would chose Jeffro but I see how El Niño could have took that round as well. Last round El Niño .. The only thing I don’t agree with Jeffro is when he hopped on the mic to say he “torched” El Niño . In my opinion no one smoked anyone it was a close battle and a lot of people think it was a close battle too, regardless both Bboys are dope👏🏼

Jeffro won that, on beat with some original moves. El Niño did his thing but he clearly lost the first 2 rounds.

Neguin 💯

I see what happened fully now. This justifies Jeffo even more.

El Niño round 1 w close Jeffro round 2 w El Niño round 3 w IMO

TORCHED bruh. TORCHED. hahaha

Jeffro was so clean

They should fight in the parking lot

i liked jeffro's approach more, but el nino looked more solid. had it either or tie or jeff on the first round, second def el nino, and el nino took the third. i'd respect however the judge voted for it. far from a robbery.

Its clearly EL NINO takes it ROUND 1 AND 3 CLEAR FOR HIM 🔥

i prefer jeffro cuz he is more raw and original. (footwork>explosion>footwork>powermove>freeze> FIREEEEEEE) classic traditional bboy style from el nino.(powermoves>footwork >freeze) respect and love them both. sike i hate both of them. i love myself.

Was this before or after the judges call out?

El Niño needs to do more foot work he’s always doing power moves I would would like to see more foot tricks

It could have gone either way, but Jeffro saying he torched him? Not even, winning the battle I can see though but not torching him, dude has too much of an ego. He had a hype squad too so that plays a factor.

Jeffro won that with flava and originality imo .. Pook dance to robotic for me ...

Jeffro take it ! 5-0 🥕

This battle was not close jeffro definitely should’ve won. El Niño went out there and just did moves, he didn’t battle him at all. If all we judged was based off of flashier moves and not the conversation of the battle, everybody would only do poweoves.

As far as total package as a bboy battling another bboy, you gotta dance and address your opponent with some kind of intent. that's number 1 then we go to the floor, who has the foundation down, who has the power moves down, who has the tricks?? then we get down to originality and character. these 2 make the end result of what a bboy is. so with that being said, I think the brotha from mad crew edged out El Nino 3-2 the Kid from RAD crew came to battle and you can see it. El Nino didn't go off on the kid like he should have. Just my 2 cents Bboy Karma1 Mighty Zulu Kings

Jeffro 🔥

Jeffro Def torched that guy 😆😆

Jeffro won,..Politics are involved ,Workshop's,.Sponsorship's ect.

El NINO IS The BEST

I like both of em but after watching it back I can def see why El Nino got it.

It was a close battle and it could have went either way.

El Niño Wonnnnnn!!!!! In my eyes it was close but El Niño executed his moves perfectly as for Jeffro he was dope as hell but then some of his movements were kinda sloppy. Just my opinion

Think what most cats don"t see is that El Niño just has that bboy flava. You can have all tricks but doesn't mean you have style. Bboyin' at its core is about style. Makes sense why those judges voted against him, they are from the generation of style.

El nino win!

It was close. But i got el nino 1st jeffro 2cnd and el nino 3rd.

this should be jeffro to win.

Jeffro took every round. Wack.

Ok i can understand that maybe jeffro was a little bit off in the 3 round. That’s ok. But jeffro on this battle was way more original , a lot of Flava and fire. The speed , the musicality , THE FOOTWORK ON BEAT. El Niño it’s one of the most basics bboys I have ever seen on the game, and be watching Bboy events like 8 years now. Sure, El Niño makes great power and fundamentals. I’m not saying he’s a bad bboy. All I’m saying is ... he’s not nearly close to Jeffros Flava or originality.

fuckin robbed

1st round: el nino 2nd round: jeffro 3rd round: el nino winner: el nino

El Nino is wack is been doing same things for years and nothing original not on beats. Jeffro smokes that already over by second round. Take away standard moves windmill headspin baby freeze and that is half of el nino gone. El Nino overrated no original. Jeffro fresh and can dance on beats and original. More nature dance

El Nino won and Jeffro has a target on his back now. Jeffro won't be able to do a call out on judges overseas. He needs to grow up and learn how to take a loss like a man.
