Minus 1 point for the tank top

[@BoogieBoyCharlie]

It's better to go without it 😂

[@seanharris2985]

Do not know how this comment sounds to most but not just funk music but Nelson showed an actual ability to move fast, change levels and hit on beat while flowing and transition styles. Popping prince pops really hard and does party moves me slight tricks. There is a such thing as advancing your abilities and innovating. Nelson is elite in popping, prince is a high level popper

[@ililiilili3366]

We like seeinf judges vote and the hug at the end. Also the head spin did it for me.

[@larnak974]

It's funny to see how Prince always think he will outpop Nelson. This guy is probably his biggest inspiration and he still trying to trash him everytime. I mean Prince was even dressing just like him for a while...😂

[@Enter_Zoneless]

Ah that’s funny😆kinda sad too lol

[@movementurbain1982]

NELSON IS THE BEST 😎🔥👌

[@thegarbageman3491]

idk if there's a name for it, but that fakeout roll at 2:16 was so sick

[@Enter_Zoneless]

Think that’s called Nelson being Nelson🔥

[@abdelhadi.elatri]

people on hating on prince for acting like that. bro thats part of the dance culture. even it wasnt for that agression we wouldnt had this high energy competitve match.

[@thegarbageman3491]

nah nelson went tf off that was sick

[@2taoslim]

Prince will never beat him lol😅

[@hilton__ej4175]

he did in a red bull battle 2018, but yes basically on Funk music nelson always will get the lead, but in pure popping boom clap music prince has his chances :D

[@Enter_Zoneless]

@@hilton__ej4175so pretty much no wins by prince😆😭

[@MrAnimatedJ]

Did prince just pull a Salah at the end of his second round ?

[@mimo19ess]

yep lol

[@dzcasanova8840]

I was saying the saming lol

[@larnak974]

Anybody for the first song please ?

[@ronin_boogz]

Prince looked like Popin Pete here

[@imgreen1838]

Has anyone noticed Prince has no footwork? lol.

[@marcosgimenez2369]

Eso siempre ha sido así, de hecho recuerdo una batalla con Greenteck que le decia eso de los pies, que no movia los pies que se enfocaba solo en explotar fuerte.

[@Enter_Zoneless]

@@marcosgimenez2369no offense to his handwork as well but man he is kinda basic

[@Yura1990.]

Name first track.

[@rodiedockside]

munk down in LA

[@paweunknown2103]

Prince...such a rude kiddo...he could battle with Nelson WITH respect for him since Nelson is older generation and had very big impact of Prince french poppers generation. Its all about respect...and education.

[@stylespopping]

Let them battle bro. This isn’t just a contest. They obviously had some beef before this contest. They were actually battling here and talking trash. Which is part of the culture. If you don’t like that aspect of the culture stick to watching Tik Tok solos. Prince has every right to battle and talk trash he doesn’t have to kiss Nelson’s ass…and Nelson handled his so it’s all good!

[@imgreen1838]

@@stylespopping 100% agree here. Just touching on what you mentioned, most new school poppers don't understand what an actual battle is. You can go back as far as the 70s and 80s and battles were even harder back then. That's why it is called 'battle' in the first place lol.

[@chavoloco91]

Get thicker skin or wear a helmet princess

[@cordellgibson6037]

I think Nelson had the edge here because he held his composure in between rounds and during his turns, prince seemed to focused on tryna bully Nelson IMO lol.

[@marcosgimenez2369]

igual nelson hizo mejores rondas, fue musical todo el tiempo, e hizo buenos trucos, prince creo que se enfoca mucho en explotar en exageracion con el bajo y muchas veces pierde la musicalidad se vio mucho en el 2do beat que era un ritmo mas rapido, o capaz que este fuera de ritmo por que hace tiempo no lo veia y no vi cosas nuevas en sus rounds.

[@hansoulkim]

It is time for PRINCE to learn respect for the other side!

[@marcosgimenez2369]

The same in French poper battles and in general in all dance styles they always act like this to annoy or make gestures to the rival, unless they are French who are partners in some team or things like that, French dancers in general in battles They are confrontational, so I think they already take it as normal, although it doesn't bother me that they do it, if in the end it is a battle, as long as they don't take it post-battle it's fine, then everything returns to normal

[@Enter_Zoneless]

@@marcosgimenez2369there was a lot of beef between these two before the battle.

[@user-xj5ou9nx7g]

Prince iis a clown !!

[@osmanosman6772]

Prince is like a small kid talk a lot and in the end he lost

[@bbd468]

Nelson Sloppy. Overrated.

[@raycharles1386]

wtf?

[@Arareemote]

Nah. I thought the same when I first got into popping but truly, he's one of the best.
