Victor wins Undisputed 2015 in Marseille

More than 700 spectators saw 2015 Red Bull BC One World Victor seal his Undisputed stamp on this year, in a sold-out venue. Having won three mayor events in a row, the MF Kidz and Squadron member marked his spot in the books by taking the title at the Undisputed World BBoy Masters 2015 as well, held tonight at the Belle Friche De Mai in Marseillle, France.

B-Boys from around the world battled in two groups in a round-robin system to gain a spot in the semifinal. Group A comprised 2014 Red Bull BC One World Champion and All Star Menno, who was double qualified with his win at R16 Korea and Battle Of The Year. Alongside Menno were 2015 Red Bull BC One World Finalists Alkolil (Russia) and Thomaz (Poland), who gained their spots at the Undisputed Battle based on rankings. The final member of group A was Dutch powerhouse Kid Colombia, who replaced Sunni from the Soul Mavericks, who had to cancel his participation due to an injury.

Group B consisted of the current Red Bull BC One World Champion, Victor, who was able to triple qualify by winning Silverback Open Championships, alongside Mounir who was qualified after his victory at Chelles Battle Pro. The two other members of the group consisted of Fleau (Canada) and Kleju (Poland), who both received an invite based on their ranking. 

After three rounds, four B-Boys made it to the semifinal with Victor, Kleju, Kid Colombia and Alkolil, all rooting for a spot in the final.

After several close-call battles, Kleju managed to make it to the final facing Victor. In a 3-0 score battle, Victor managed to take home the €4,000 prize money and the Undisputed title for 2015, making him the best B-Boy by far winning five mayor events: Hip OPsession, Culture Shock, Silverback Open Championships, Freestyle Session, Red Bull BC One and now the Undisputed World BBoy Masters. 



"My first thought was that I couldn’t believe I did it again," said Victor after his landmark win. “The moment they pulled my hand up, I was like, what!? I won another big event, and to be honest I didn’t even feel making it to the semifinal. I was so tired, my legs and whole body were shaking, and felt I couldn’t do it. But then I said to myself, let’s pull it together and let’s do this and I did it again! The atmosphere at the venue was perfect for me. I liked it, as the crowd was right in front of me and I felt the energy. For me, the round robin system was tough. I lost the first battle, and in that battle I thought I couldn’t continue. But in the later rounds, I started getting used to it and warming up. By the semifinal I felt good and confident and ready to make it to the finals and just have fun with it." Victor added that it has been a crazy year for him on all levels, and that when he lived in Los Angeles last year, he actually managed to lose all the main events.

“I knew I needed to go back and focus and go back home and started training like crazy and training on everything and I came back this year and I took all of these battles,” he said. “It made me so proud and felt amazing that I was able to make it and I did this for my dad, my mom my whole family, my friends and my crew.”



Undisputed 2014 Champion and this year's judge, Red Bull BC One All Star Lilou (France) added: "For me, it was the first time to judge this event, as I won last year and seeing the first rounds in the round robin system I thought of myself in 2014 at the battle and how intense and hard it was to make it to the semifinal. The vibes and the music made me feel to go on the stage. 2015 is all about Victor. It's the first time a B-Boy took so many mayor titles at these events in one year. It's definitely his year!”
