Junior has so much competitive spirit,and he has been smiling whole round,its priceless.

[@noacceptance20]

Mounir had better flow but junior is just pure legend! His originality, uniqueness and strength is off the charts! That first set with the hopping 2000 blew my mind. Mounir is amazing too but he dosent dance in the moment like Junior. He does pre planned sets that never change wirh the music

[@floatingdisembodiedhead8975]

Both of them don't dance with the music in this one tho but yeah Junior's last round was crazy to me.

[@ShaneNagy]

Junior took this and we all know it. Guy was robbed !

[@jacobyochens1100]

He was robbed in 2004 more than this imo. Junior should of won 2004 BCone

[@wesley.ramos22]

Mounir wins

[@belsazarbensol8320]

i think Junior is the winner. because he do a many different type of visual..

Mounir only won because he drank a redbull for product placement. redbull like: "Push that man through to the finals" lol. Team Junior all day son

[@naki5007]

thats a stupid reason there

Neguin was wrong to vote

[@wesley.ramos22]

Mounir win.

[@Dabeersification]

As much as I love watching b'boy vids I really hate the judging system at competitions, how can Junior possibly lose to Mounir, really?! Mounir was boring and very ordinary, the crowd recognised that junior was more entertaining and it's unquestionable that what he does is technically EXTREMELY hard to replicate. I'm not a Junior fan boy like a lot of people and there are plenty of other fantastic b'boys out there but Junior is really on another level to many of them and should have easily taken this.

[@binak.4590]

Really mounir? junior all time dancing better 😡😡

[@sci-figameguy8241]

+Joao Marcos You obviously have an unskilled eye. Who was bringing more footwork? Who was sticking his freezes more than the other? Who actually had toprock? ik Junior has a deformity in his legs that prevents him to fill those criteria, but this ain't preschool son, this is Red Bull BC One, if you can't be the best all around bboy, that honestly sucks.

[@monstarxl77]

Ronnie Mu. Breaking isn’t about hitting every possible criteria in my opinion. There are all rounded bboys, power bboys, style bboys. Junior was dancing and doing more difficult moves while still hitting beats. That’s enough to win in my opinion

What?!!??!!??! Mounir really??? Junior Is totally better JUNIOR FTW!!!! Judge= Shit

[@oopalonga]

ya easily. thing is, i mean junior is in his own fuckin league. i really feel like if any of these guys wanted to stand a chance, they'd have to go a different route and try to use speed and momentum and really do something incredibly flarey. . .but even then, juniors positions and control is just nuts

[@xStaixx]

The fact that the judges are breakdance experts and they are years in the scene should make you think that you know shit in front of them also bboying isn't only about powermoves it's also about flow and moving to the beat, Mounir had combos and variations to his moves thats why he won

[@xStaixx]

***** I watched All the battles of Junior on RBBC1 2012 and i realized that Junior did almost the same moves on every round , while Mounir had alot of varierity and diffrent move , I dont have anything against Junior and i think that overall he is the most skillful and diffrent bboy in the world but i think that he lost fairly in this battle ,and if i am wrong i think that the 3 pros that vote for Mounir are too

[@geometrydashxorcyst5624]

Staixx Totally agree, Mounir merit his victory ;)

[@MausitoRider]

Junior is the best!!!

[@andrzejkrycha718]

junior is the best ! Mounir drinking red bull

Junior's style is the definition of originality. There is nothing like it, and there is no way to confuse it.

[@leandrdg5517]

what, are they fucking kidding me?, junior shoulda won IMO ¬¬

[@donovanramires3215]

Mounir definetly had more footwork variation and style, but I think he should have lost because Junior looked fresher to me and had more power and stamina

[@iamAPEXUS]

Allright!

[@bbJav]

yeah, and you saw junior's power moves so strongh!! that's real power move, I was like ohhhh ohh he is still got it so clean and fresh, I go for junior

[@skilla326]

If you think Junior won you’re stupid. All his rounds were short while Mounir was more diverse , clean and had longer rounds. Idiots.

[@anonymousperson1030]

MOHAMMED AL-SHIKELY Uhh ur talking abt Neguin. A redbull all-star and a good friend of Junior’s. If anyone would’ve voted for Junior out of bias it would’ve been him

[@Jacob1Roth]

Even thought I'm a big fan of Junio,r I just gotta say that Mounir was flawless in this battle. Definately deserved.

[@teocrawford]

I see why a lot of people think Jr should have won but RBBCone is still a DANCE competition..not a strength competition and I think Mounir danced better than Jr even though Jr has some beasty moves up his sleeve, that are sick, they aren't really dance anymore.

[@Paulyfr3sh]

While I agree that Junior is an amazing Breakdancer, breakdancing is more than just strength and spinning. It's about creativity to create different styles and combinations. Mounir came out with crazy different combinations and flow. I mean, junior is great guys, but to be honest, I agree with the judges. Mounir took it.

[@dxbiz5201]

***** what you're saying is true but you gotta keep in mind that junior has polio in his legs wich makes it really hard for him to keep up with the paste of speed and originality with his legs

[@clightning9703]

exactly.!! we all know junior has arm strength but he uses it too much... it's about creativity & versatility.... it was CLOSE & he probably nabbed it... the rip off was Mounir vs Hong.... Mounir was at shit best & Hong did the same shit except the last round... no way he won!!

[@andreasdm8193]

junior has that too but still Mounir was slightly better

[@chrisbrown78440]

WHAT THE FIRST SONG ?

[@sihamjk3835]

Junior is much better!!

[@bboybuddy4]

Battle was judge by the best bboys and you wanna tell me you know bboying better than them. I say awesome battle thats it whoever won worked hard to get there

[@0mtrebellcyury993]

Why are all of y'all hating on mounir I mean my god first lilou and now mounir this is getting really old

[@PetPeeveTV]

Junior would have won if he didn't keep his round short and repeat a move or 2. Mounir was fluently consistant, didn't see any drops or flow changes and he kept his rounds about the same length.

[@djsaeg]

junior got killer swags and mounir killer combos ONE OF THE BEST BATTLES IVE SEEN

[@chicano50001]

song please 0:08

[@PandaxIT]

Guys there's no doubt that Junior is an unique bboy, but Mounir has been cleaner and had a lot of cool combos; he also didn't repeat himself like Junior did. Junior, like Rubberlegz, for example, is perfect for shows, but if we watch the whole event Mounir has got a more complex style. Even if you think it differently respect the judges choices. Sorry for grammar errors, I'm not english

XD the comment here and the crowd there probably know nothing about breakdance . if u say junior should have won you should stop watching breakdance . I respect junior effort but plz power moves are good but not everything

[@Creedlane]

I totally agree, but Junior has developed his own style based on strength, plus he has polio in his leg so he cannot really do complicated footwork or fast toprocks.

[@theonlytate]

Junior is strong as hell and has sick moves but his flow was poor compared to Mounir. All you people praising Junior as the god of all men need a reality check.

[@genericsavings]

Overall, Mounir deserved The One title. Watch all his battles, and he may not be a crowd favorite, but he's consistent. A fighter to the end. What I would have loved to have seen was Junior vs DIffer. Those 2 had very fun battles throughout.

[@0themoonstarsun0]

Glad for both of these guys they've improved major. Junior was always known for living in the shadow of physicx but it looks like he's breaking free from all of that nonsense and using his strength in a very natural looking form for him. Mounir... dang major improvement from 08 showing. It's good to see so many dancers in the scene evolving rather than just living off a "classic" look

To be honest, mounir skills easy lame.

[@xXXblackheartXxX95]

The two firts sets are so close but Junior fails in the final set :c Mounir was better in this (my opinion)

[@DeepankarDetrox]

Props to Junior but Mounir won. His flow is so damn smooth with all those transitions

[@274THEGAME]

Hong 10 is the best

[@tafarimekenen]

junior is bad azz, in a zone by himself but there is nothing much you can learn from him as a bboy coming up cause his moves are just unique to him because of his arm strength, outside of that what does he reall have?

[@dagda3000]

Junior is a one trick pony. Spectacular when you see him the first time. But that's it.

[@ramaSwamp]

+dagda3000 That's because he was born with a deformity in his legs. He can't walk so well, so he had to develop all that upper body strenght. Clearly you know shit about this but like to talk right trough your ass.

[@sci-figameguy8241]

+Ramiro Sosa Garrido That doesn't give junior and advantage or excuse. You can still come up with plenty of tricks on your hands, I mean, with the moves on his hands that he's doing now, I don't see why he didn't think to do other handstand-based moves. Mounir took this one because Mounir had footwork, stuck his freezes, and had more toprock. Ik Junior can't footwork or toprock cause of his legs, but this ain't preschool, it's Red Bull BC One. If you can't fill the criteria, then that sucks.

[@SwiftFoot]

No one wanted junior to lose lol everyone left after cuz it was boring in the finals without junior

I'm sorry, but Mounir deserved the win as well as the title of the 2012 champion, IMO. That being said, Junior is nothing short of an amazing, original bboy . Respect to all opinions.

Foundation: Mounir Originality: Junior Dynamics: Junior Execution: Mounir Battle: Tie A tie breaker was needed.

[@attackdefense1880]

No way Junior wins on dynamics. Originality yes because his style is unique but when does originality turn from having a different style to actually innovating your own style? For people who have known and watched Junior for YEARS there was nothing original about what he brought here. It's the same as he's used to bring.

[@diseasefire]

@@attackdefense1880 originality and evolution of your style are 2 different things. Junior is an innovator and created his own style with strenght and floats, he has loads of signature moves that are even famous throughout the world, Mounir can't say the same.

@@attackdefense1880 oh and dynamics... well.. do you really think mounir is stronger than junior in power? I mean come on.. style for sure but power..?

[@attackdefense1880]

@@diseasefire Junior's style is unique because there aren't many people who are in his condition (talking about his leg) therefore you obviously won't find ppl doing similar moves.
