Thesis is amazing, I actually think even thesis knew he lost. Look at his expression after Menno's last 2 throw downs, especially the last one. If Thesis can admit that he didn't do good enough to beat Menno, I don't see why people are pissed he lost. He's won so many other times, so what? Besides, I don't see anyone showing any appreciation for the originality both B-boys are bringing to the scene. People just calling other people sh*t and waving pitchforks are what I'm seeing most of the time.
Man! I thought Thesis won that for sure. He had so much more style (in my opinion) then Menno and his flow was just so perfect. If the judges saw something from Menno which i didnt (which is probably what happened), then I would stand corrected. I still think Thesis won, but congrats to Menno. In the end, they both get loved.
I think Menno reached the level that his sets look sloppy, but need incredible strengh, body balance and endurance to perform. I think his transition is clean and flows like a water. I think this was good final between two masters of transition.
After a while of not seeing Menno winning much of the big named battles, I'm glad to see he's still driven and keeping up the good work and creativity. These are two of the most creative bboys in my book, the came hard which made for a dope battle. Respect.
How times have changed, 2013 some people frowned upon Menno's unique style. Fastforward 3 BC One championships later and Menno is now considered 1 of the most legendary breakers of all time with his next level originality, god-tier flow and crazy details. The masses caught up
to be fair, in 2013-14 even tho he was winning titles, his own performance in battles was way more stiffer and sloppier and the judging was questionable
Thesis was rocking every beat while menno wasnt as much and I found thesis' moves a lot more dynamic than that of menno's. Not only that it was quite unique and had more originality. To me Thesis won this easily..
No hate on Thesis, he's dope and original too, but you do realize that almost every move Menno threw were his own? Menno is pure originality. Plus, you can't mess with that flow.
I'd say tb 1st round Menno 2nd round draw 3rd round Thesis. Menno brought more energy but, a lot of his sets tend to consist of the same thing. Thesis was more well rounded but seemed gassed and had a few mess ups in his 1st round. Close battle though!
*Spoiler Comment* I was totally blindsided by Thesis losing. I thought he won that so decisively, I was literally stunned when they said Menno won. Lame.
poor thesis, imo, the best bboy in the U.S and one of the best in the world on pure technical level, ripped off by blind judges every single time in big battle.
Yano it's just that menno won with the overall energy he was presenting to the crowd and the judges. Both artists were super duper fresh and hitting it, doing their things but If you look at both energies you can feel thesis wasn't as the same level of energy that menno was at! I think the judge's could really feel menno came to win and thesis did too but in terms of how they presented themselves. thesis was a little bit more fatigued and I definitely felt that! All in all this was a dope battle
I'm def a Thesis fan and don't know much about Menno, but Thesis definitely looked tired for a lot of that. His sets were shorter than his normal. I could have seen that going either way. Just depends on the judges.
Definitely two of the top contenders. I think Menno for sure. He's won too much to ignore. I would expect them to invite a special Korean guest now that it's finally making it's way there, though... What do you think?
You know what would have made this battle waaaawy more enjoyable. Definitely the music!!! It feels like the music really limited the energy and overall feel for the final. In my opinion the music was aite but would've given these artist a more enjoyable atmosphere and the crowd their money's worth
yo, Angel, did you find out what the song at 1:07 is? It sounds like it might be a remix of Moe Koffman’s "Curried Soul", but I can't find anything that resembles it...
Thesis didn't come close to winning this one guys. I'm a huge Thesis fan but he repeated a ton and his last 2 sets weren't as strong. Menno did great and there were a few repeats but Menno's floor work and flow over powered Thesis this time. Overall, good job to both bboys for killin it.
i8myrice2day2 Transition and foundation are NOT considered repeats...it's like calling out a repeat for top rocking twice. All of Thesis's sets are different. Also when you're talking about Thesis it's not a matter of riding anymore...he's unarguably good.
Kitora Siebzehn I know hes good... but if you were the judge who would you have given the win to? But you have to remember using the same transitions and repeating freezes isnt gonna help you win buddy. That's what Thesis did I never stated he repeated his top rock... or talking about his foundation.... He repeated a lot of moves... YOU don't see it throughout the competition because his flow is good at hiding it but he did man... that's why he lost. Menno was on fire this competition.
Bad judges, thesis has good foundation and musicality. we have to learn from Thesis, hear the music first and break. I hope Thesis will win RB Bc One 2014 this year and get his first title. Love his move so much.
Damn really? Menno? I don't see how he wins some of these battles. Guess he's just on a whole 'nother level. But so is Thesis and he still lost. Def thought Thesis took it.
If i have to pick between the two , i would go with menno too, honestly, Bc one is viewed as the ultimate world one vs one final, but the truth is the whole system is commercial and unfair, what i really think is that there should be no direct invites to begin with, all the 16 bboys should come from qualifiers, i hope another competition with a fair selection system replaces bc one, right now it's a joke, bboys shouldn't support it until they fix the system.
dont be haters, the Judges are doing there thing yo. y dont u guys try, go up there, and judge alll those battle. im not hating on thesis, hes a beast yo, but it what it is. big up to the bboys around the world, this shit aint easy
The two Redbull bc one wild cars of this year should be Thesis and Menno, Period, if those two are not invited, Redbull bc one is no longer the ultimate competition of the BEST.
I sadly have to give this battle to Menno. Not just because I'm a big Thesis fan but, because I don't like Menno style. Lately Menno has been all about the tricks, he just rolls and slides a cross the floor no foot work or musicality.

That was actually kind of difficult to judge.
Thesis beat killed the whole time and had a dope flow the whole time and still lost...

I think that Thesis, Niek, and ALcolil woulde deserve to be BC1 all star!!!
Niek and Thesis probably not (IMO) but I think Alcolil could but would probably turn it down
How times have changed, 2013 some people frowned upon Menno's unique style. Fastforward 3 BC One championships later and Menno is now considered 1 of the most legendary breakers of all time with his next level originality, god-tier flow and crazy details. The masses caught up
0 musicality
to be fair, in 2013-14 even tho he was winning titles, his own performance in battles was way more stiffer and sloppier and the judging was questionable
😂😂😂😂 everyone says he's a fake champion what are you talking about? Lol
thesis - intricate, more musicality, more consistency, better flow, focused on all elements of bboying and even posed his moves towards menno
Thesis was rocking every beat while menno wasnt as much and I found thesis' moves a lot more dynamic than that of menno's. Not only that it was quite unique and had more originality. To me Thesis won this easily..
No hate on Thesis, he's dope and original too, but you do realize that almost every move Menno threw were his own? Menno is pure originality. Plus, you can't mess with that flow.
the most sick groundfloor bboys
this was an awesome battle, two really personal and unique styles clashing.
anyone know what thesis' pants are called?
Thesis is a really chill and funny dude
and always gives props to other dancers. love his attitude
Menno - Master of Flow vs Thesis - Creative Genius
Menno got sick flows and unique fresh moves vs thesis with beatkilling and creative moves
different judge, different tastes..
where was crowd?
what'ss the song of round 3?
Menno won this and UK this year. What a beast, props to him foreal.
What shoes is Thesis dancing with?
I'd say tb 1st round Menno 2nd round draw 3rd round Thesis. Menno brought more energy but, a lot of his sets tend to consist of the same thing. Thesis was more well rounded but seemed gassed and had a few mess ups in his 1st round. Close battle though!
*Spoiler Comment*
I was totally blindsided by Thesis losing. I thought he won that so decisively, I was literally stunned when they said Menno won. Lame.
ikr !
Uk Bboy Championships, Unbreakable and now the BOTY 1vs1. Menno won some big titles this year
Round 1- Thesis
Round 2- Menno
Round 3- Menno
akumasdeception I think second round Thesis, tie at most. Menno sloppy towards the end of that round.
that second round is a toss up. i did think menno won it ever so slightly tho.
first song is 25 miles by edwin starr
Thesis just had more foundation and musicality.
anyone know what the first song is? It sounds like a remix or cover of Moe Koffman’s Curried Soul...
what is the song at 2:13 please ? (3rd round)
sickest match up! I wanna see them battle for 12 rounds
poor thesis, imo, the best bboy in the U.S and one of the best in the world on pure technical level, ripped off by blind judges every single time in big battle.
1st song!???
This battle is an art!
MC: "Crowd are you feelin' this"
Crowd: chirp...cricket...chirp
no recap??
THESIIS
WOW! Great! I ♥ YAKbattles!!! ♥
This is hot bboy signature💪
thesis' sets were cleaner, menno's sets cleaned the floor
Yano it's just that menno won with the overall energy he was presenting to the crowd and the judges. Both artists were super duper fresh and hitting it, doing their things but If you look at both energies you can feel thesis wasn't as the same level of energy that menno was at!

seriously? Menno won? I'm not saying menno sucks at bboying, he has a creative flow and a very unique style but in my book, Thesis took that one.
love thesis do
What's the first song ?
Definitely two of the top contenders. I think Menno for sure. He's won too much to ignore. I would expect them to invite a special Korean guest now that it's finally making it's way there, though...
What do you think?
Thesis killed it! !!!!. Menno was pretty good though. What's the song at 1:07 ?
name of the dj??
anyone know the second song ??
whoever recorded these battles probably edited the battles so the crowds cant be heard over the music.i think it was a bad idea though
Is Menno part of Seven Commandoz crew?
It was so obvious that thesis won!
Right, but his face at the end told another story.
You know what would have made this battle waaaawy more enjoyable. Definitely the music!!! It feels like the music really limited the energy and overall feel for the final. In my opinion the music was aite but would've given these artist a more enjoyable atmosphere and the crowd their money's worth
round 3 which song
Thesis win
Haha, funny
Menno's first round was fire.
What a year!
why cant i hear any shouts??
the music?
WHAT SONG????/
What's the song at 1:07 ?
yo, Angel, did you find out what the song at 1:07 is? It sounds like it might be a remix of Moe Koffman’s "Curried Soul", but I can't find anything that resembles it...
2013 Menno's Year
First song ?
Bboy Menno mang, came strong and prepared to this battle.
Second song?
song at 2:40?
i was always thinking, should menno be a Bc one all star?
Wish Bboy Luan and Differ had participated this year.
Menno: That's what you get for taking my $300 from Bamboozle
Thesis : D':
Thesis didn't come close to winning this one guys. I'm a huge Thesis fan but he repeated a ton and his last 2 sets weren't as strong. Menno did great and there were a few repeats but Menno's floor work and flow over powered Thesis this time. Overall, good job to both bboys for killin it.
Thesis repeating? THESIS?? And to top that "a ton"?
C'mon now, really? Watch again.
i8myrice2day2 Transition and foundation are NOT considered repeats...it's like calling out a repeat for top rocking twice. All of Thesis's sets are different.

MENNO is the Man Of The Year 2013!!
Bad judges, thesis has good foundation and musicality. we have to learn from Thesis, hear the music first and break. I hope Thesis will win RB Bc One 2014 this year and get his first title. Love his move so much.
I'm sorry he lost again versus Menno
MrJesseeee7 HAHAHAHAHAHA u make my day
OHHH BUENA BATTLE ESA UNA BATALLA EPICA ....(y)
biased judges
It's obvious you don't know what the word, "bias," means considering the judges were Ken Swift, Taisuke, & Yamson.
Menno - Unbreakble , Uk B-boy champs , Boty 1-1 winner , I think RBBC1 next)
Ufff hard desicion for the judgeds, i think thesis just for little bit.
My boy Skeme on the mic.
whats with the music :P loops over and over no chance to really groove
this is why u need some sort of a judging system
menno was sweating thesis, he's not used to comp on his level, close one.
Damn really? Menno? I don't see how he wins some of these battles. Guess he's just on a whole 'nother level. But so is Thesis and he still lost. Def thought Thesis took it.
what a battle
i agree so much.
Robin supports actively Menno, his Mighty Zulu Kingz brother
If i have to pick between the two , i would go with menno too, honestly, Bc one is viewed as the ultimate world one vs one final, but the truth is the whole system is commercial and unfair, what i really think is that there should be no direct invites to begin with, all the 16 bboys should come from qualifiers, i hope another competition with a fair selection system replaces bc one, right now it's a joke, bboys shouldn't support it until they fix the system.
dont be haters, the Judges are doing there thing yo. y dont u guys try, go up there, and judge alll those battle.
im not hating on thesis, hes a beast yo, but it what it is.
big up to the bboys around the world, this shit aint easy
you miss Hip Opsession 9
The two Redbull bc one wild cars of this year should be Thesis and Menno, Period, if those two are not invited, Redbull bc one is no longer the ultimate competition of the BEST.
Too..men no has no freezes at all..
menno has been too overated lately, and this battle didn't look like a final in my opinion
great battle congrats to menno but from my perspective thesis deserved this
Wow dream battle
I sadly have to give this battle to Menno. Not just because I'm a big Thesis fan but, because I don't like Menno style. Lately Menno has been all about the tricks, he just rolls and slides a cross the floor no foot work or musicality.
i dont know guys.. i think menno took this battle he showed more energy and FOR ME his sets were more fluid... i dont know XD... awesome battle !!!
sorry mate i don't speak...........Spanish?!?!
Thesis!!!
Thesis should have taken that, he was way more cleaner
