This battle was difficult to watch. Known about salah for years now. Salah is definitely the winner of hearts/entertainment.. He's witty, amazingly skilled and likeable. He's had it since day one and has fine tuned his craft into almost comedy. Even the move he done to finish off round 2 was hilarious for those who understood it. But he's past his prime now and is nowhere near as dynamic as he used to be in his youth. Bear in mind salah has won more competitions than you can imagine, and has a lot of experience in popping, locking and even breakdance! For him to still be battling now is a testament to how great he is. He's literally been killing it since the late 90s! Hoan is just a beast. Like a machine built for destroying poppers. You can tell he's put a lot of practice in. Having said that, he only really slays people when he knows the song. In this battle, I didn't think he slayed salah and I think it was quite close... If Hoan can stay relevant 15 years from now as a dancer I'd be surprised though. Salah will always be King for me!
yeah he WAS...now all he does is repeating power moves from ages ago. now's not an era where dancers win with power moves(especially the repetitive ones). today's judging is based on musicality. well, legend dies. even Tony Go Go is just an old man who used to be a pioneer. every legends die, some fans just wouldn't let them.
@@shukokato9320 i know it’s a 3 year old comment but salah has evolved with the time and has made a lot of progress. Watch his most recent battle with Nelson. Hthese passed 2 years he’s really added more to his dancing.
Everyone is saying Salah this Hoan that. Personally to me i love both of them. Salah inspired a lot of youth back in the days when he was young. All i can see is that dance (no matter what type) is a type of movement that connects and respects other no matter if you are new or experience in the scene. In the end in battles like this they had fun and respected each other at the end of the battle.
I give salah his props. Hes talented no doubt. But hes more a showman and entertainer. Hoan is more a pure dancer. Salah relies on elaborate tricks but Hoan just moves effortlessly with the music. Thats why Hoan will always be the best. Imo.
how can it be a revenge when Salah and whole team still lost to Hoan-team 1? Dont kid yourself mate, Salah' s tricks dont work with Hoan anymore. Too old and predictable nowadays. I hope Hoan meets Salah once more and destroy him the 3rd time.
i love and respect salah...but he was not popping here. He was performing and doing what Salah does. It's actually become quite predictable....so Hoan beat Salah...again.
Salah eaaaasily won! I see why people think Hoan may have won "other than the fact he did win" as i see depths of reasoning on many levels, but all in all no way Hoan should have won. SALAH THE SHOWMAN took it!
