this battle is so sick they should battle again i see that mike has improved so much. salah and mike are one of the best poppers out there i think mike dont get the credit he desevere
i'm 4 years late. and me too man. That fluid style got my attention back in the day. It must be a battle thing. If he battles off camera I'm sure he would re do it
Yo I have met mike in person, and Salah did kill this match, but they should square off again, because Mike has gotten SO much better and that's no biased shit there.
Salah did have more crowd support, but for his skill. From what I've seen Salah speaks French so was probably on his own as most speak with an American accent. He has all-round Hip Hop/Funk dancer. His view is that it is important to give the crowd something in a battle/comp. Yes he's ultra bendy etc etc but he uses his abilities well. Nuff respect. The part at the end with Salah the Robot is sick, clever & funny.
ROFL Salah's first round he was like "EAZZYY" lolol. I remember how much hype was behind this battle. Mike Watson was good, but he was a notorious biter. Salah exposed him hard in this one.
when you get two people with the same type of style together to battle in front of regular people its auto kill. basicly Salah just out did mike at every aspect, his strobing was cleaner and had more difficult movements. Hits were not an issue. Skill wise they pretty much were almost the same. its individual ability that gave salah the edge. Theres a battle between Salah and Bionic man and I think Salah lost. I mean he just flat out beat mike at his own game.
They are both brilliant at what they do. I know there is such criticism about Salah and that he is always repeating moves and shit like that, but the dude has been dancing in international battles and shit like tht for over 15 years, and still hasn't succumb to boogaloo. If you watch footage of him now and compare it to back in the day, you'll c how his style changes. His musicality is second to none. But snaps to mike too, his muscle control is fukn killa!
I like watson and salah. They do dance similar. But i think watson wasnt at his best. He didnt look like he wanted to dance which really hampers your performance. I know when I go to clubs and I dont want to dance and someone eggs me on...unless i get into it i always lose.
WTF??? yoo...even salah copies move from the 80's and early 90's! u know salah move with that upper stomach coming out, that was done by the old skool already, the floor body waving was done by wigz...this all shit is just biting at each other but u cr8 it in ur own style!
let me give a nonbiased opinion thats not based on random assumptions entirely. what up @mrdaddumbo, i also know mike personally and i could have told u the what the battle would look like before it happened. btw whoever said mike thought salah was a child is a moron . mike knew very well what salah could bring. and no im not saying he won. but it was a great matchup due to mike & salahs styles are similar. both rely on tricks and hit hard. less focus on boogaloo super funky foot and legwork. and more upper body. but its good to see they got to meet head to head. tbh. i give mike props for not ducking the battle . not everyone has the balls or skill to step in with salah
Mike Watson won hands down. They both look like brothers salah style is slinky and mike Watson style is hard hitting. And real animation from the 1980s
Stop Hating. Mike Watson is a pure LEGEND, straight out da A TOWN. Salah is cool, but he is more a CLOWN than a dancer. Mike Watson is better hands down. Salah just had his people with him.
Mike is a great dancer. He made Salah take out his best moves. I think Salah won though.

i miss that "fluid " style off salah :(

Both are awesome.
Salah's in the hood like Madden'

Salah owned this one, they both can do better though!

lol when salah took his shirt off, you hear two girls go "YAY!" I can't imagine what girl wouldn't... X3
@ChannelArea91 you know what bro i would loved to see that i think it would be a serious battle a lot of eye candy
Salah is really crazy dancer woooow he was put out Mike ..
The girls omg hhhhhh
can't argue it dat
Salah in his prime. Nice Street Battle.
I know Mike...though Salah (in my opionion) wins this battle, I can tell this was not Mike's best performance...
Where'd yall steal those video camera's from??
Is this the same Mike Watson that plays Street Fighter? Because if it is, omggggg
CLASSIC BATTLE. Mike Watson had a move...but Salah had a counter! I love that shit!! LMBAO. That nigga speed changes are N-N-N-N-Naaasty.
Newcleus - Jam On It
man salah used to be da shit...now his style changed...but it looks like his trying to go bak to his old style like in da juste debout 08 final
I know mike, he said himself that he got roasted. Salah is a better dancer hands down.
!!
Salah served Mike here.
!!!
This movement is from this guy or salah
I think Mike was totally demoralized by Salah.

The move that Mike Watson did in the beginning to call out Salah was unbelievable.

who the fuck is gunna lose to salah
this guy send salah or i'm wrong
Salah is so overrated. Mike Waston is much better than him. The person who wins the battle shouldn't be the person who has more weird flexibility.
Mike Watson won hands down. They both look like brothers salah style is slinky and mike Watson style is hard hitting. And real animation from the 1980s
HAHahahhaha Mike Watson thought salah was a child but he saw that Salah has more tricks... Salah destroyed
No. Salah made Mike look like his bitch and Mike can't even animate. No one cheered for little ol Mike
Your on crack
hahahahah!!!!!
and the lighting/camera angle does suck. Teriibly so.
Salah smoke him easy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man no way Mike is better than Salah, Salah whooped him then and he could do it now.

you're a noobie.
