Alex is the genius... born for Hip-hop, watching him dance always make you feel you totally don't know how to listen to music...

[@abhishekrawat6145]

You can't be more right

[@tinovigilati5554]

for sure! but also this female dancer is fire! th-cam.com/video/wqupuHJxm0Q/w-d-xo.html

[@kenwkls6392]

but he should have lost though.

[@ceejay11034]

You totally right

[@AniMeLoVeR23451]

you are wrong in my opinion,its just perfect musicality with constant tempo changes,trust me lots of people are not impressed

[@zispop]

Felt like a final. RESPECT

[@lemmiexplain]

First two rounds for Ben , he won !

[@ruine77]

2nd song is Oh No - Runnin The Show .feat Erick Sermon

[@nicolasjimenezq369]

Thats the difference between dancing and fighting with yourself....

[@Arnoboy93]

Damn Ben made Alex go hard ! There's not much Alex could have done about Ben's 2nd round but the 1st round was close and I feel like he won the 3rd round.

6:40 aiaiai

[@MrJubejube87]

so CLEAN

[@АхачатарянУзамесов]

I'm really disappointed with the decision of the judges. For me, Ben won 1 and 2 rounds, he lost 3 round, but round 2 was just incredible.

[@sow15]

Just because we hyped him for having the guts to challenge Alex on floorwork doesn't mean he won that 2nd round... ;-)

[@daytona-x7b]

@@sow15 exactly, even round 2 was one sided

[@mouezshippuden9681]

Ben the best lol don't need a judge !!

[@vsn8328]

First song is "Doesya Feat. Fatman Scoop - Gettin Money"

[@weichunchang4275]

F kidding me this is a real insane battle
Big respect to both

[@MASTERu75]

I got to get back out dancing again...these niggaz is nasty. That shit was just raw inspiration, how it used to be, I got a feeling a lot of cats just practise moves all day in front of the mirror. Shout out to the both of them

[@flyingllama8543]

Alex is like a noble. Composed, dignified, stately, regal and barely breaks a sweat. What was that martial art movie/show where the master only moves when necessary?

[@daytona-x7b]

one of the best SDF battles ever

[@juanjamm]

3:45 ... Maybe all these years of events like this with the volume so high caused a lot of people to have hearing issues.
I really feel sorry that they didn't catch that.
Please, take care of your ears.
Peace.

[@1992EsCo]

Jota David Ojeda don't worry, just because we don't react, doesn't mean that we don't catch that my friend.

[@daytona-x7b]

You're acting like it's some amazing move lmao. He knows the beat and he did something simple to accent it. PURE GENIUS!!!!11

[@NomadElectrick]

Ben real winner , respect

[@alexandrereis7355]

Please explain me why ?

[@instrumentallatino]

Exactly...Ben easier!!

I love Alex but this one was for Ben

[@usuke8132]

I’ve watched many times this movie. Especially Alex dancing is I’ve not ever seen. Truly respect him

[@kirillserdyukov]

Ben won for me, it was more powerful from him

[@tinovigilati5554]

for sure! but also this female dancer is fire! th-cam.com/video/wqupuHJxm0Q/w-d-xo.html

[@A5H.91]

Big respect to Ben.
But Alex was tactical 👍👍👍

[@bennymartin607]

Ben should have won that one!

[@TheAnonymousMofo]

I personally preferred Ben in this battle but I can see how Alex was the victor. He low-key killed the 1st and 3rd rounds

[@MASTERu75]

Someone has their eyes open...Alex I think has a better ear than the average listener when it comes to listening to the details of music. I think it could've went either way, but Alex hits beats that a lot of dancers wouldn't or couldn't catch...same goes for Icee, it's subtle.

[@kidkaptain]

Eh, I think Alex's musicality isn't all that. I mean it's good, but I've never once not understood what he was hitting. Considering his movement's relatively simple (and it's fairly easy to predict the course of movement he'll take), it's not too hard to catch on what he does. Same goes for Ben. Or any dancer on earth really lol after you understand the basics of how they move.

[@timothygats]

Its not just musicality but how he mixes musicality with control and creativity. he was on point

[@tinovigilati5554]

for sure! but also this female dancer is fire! th-cam.com/video/wqupuHJxm0Q/w-d-xo.html

[@flyingllama8543]

I like the 'handshake' routine @ 7:17

Aiaiaiaiai 3th Round

[@thaboyjeezy]

I love Alex and Ben but Ben destroyed him

[@TheisExplainsHowTo]

nah

[@Thomascarsley]

You don’t understand

[@pc6663]

If you factor out Ben being completely fresh compared to Alex being several rounds deep, the victor is clear.

[@alexandrereis7355]

I love all these people saying BEN won not even throwing an argument why. I'm here asking for you guys to explain your point of view, on how Ben is the winner here...

[@pc6663]

That's because they are most likely using pure emotion to decide who won. They are reacting to the insane energy Ben brought during the first two rounds and the fact that the crowd lost it in the second round.
Throughout each round though, Alex consistently had more musicality and brought more original concepts. Aside from some obvious hip weakness in the second round, Alex also was more clean.
As an aside; Alex really should consider a proper weight training program, with special emphasis on hip strength. I would love to coach some of these dancers on their S&C program (which I bet is non-existent for most). Creative but somewhat weak dancers like Alex could be gods with a bit of work in that area. Diablo's intro/groove stuff is basically all "look how strong my hip muscles are", and Alex could have that tool if he just worked at it 3x/week for about a year or two.

[@kinggold7566]

Second track?

[@hmranyo4327]

Woooow

[@dopedogzzz8704]

What? hahhahaha!! Ben destroyed him. This mentality,peoplE applauded for what? ahah RIDICULUSS. BEN IS DOPE

[@MASTERu75]

Destroyed? Watch Alex's second round and tell me he is not only expressing the beat, but instrumentals, soundfx, and lyrics, literally. Ben is dope but in my opinion Alex hears things, catches beats, sounds, and expresses details in the music that average dancers let alone listeners and spectators don't pick up.

[@MASTERu75]

Don't get me wrong Ben should've won, I think there was politics involved

[@dopedogzzz8704]

Alex's second round ? Ben's second round!!! But i want explain: Alex is a good dancer, he has good musicality but has few dope techniques and moves like Ben,Alex's second round infact is on the music,only on the music....Ben in all rounds is complete ever.Ben destroyed him and the difference is EVIDENT. SEE AGAIN ALL SECOND ROUND,no..SEE AGAIN ALL VIDEO! Bless

[@ano5235]

DopeDogZZZ so you watched this battle many times and still don't know how alex win.
