I played Efren in 2017; the game was the best three out of five in nine ball. Of course he beat me and I enjoyed it. - - - If you are ever in the Huntsville Alabama area just stop by Steve's Cue and Grill - - - as you walk in you will see a picture of Efren and I on the left just outside the entrance of my cue repair shop - - - I'm there every week, if I'm not in my shop just walk up to the bar and look to your right - - - I am normally setting at the first table having coffee or unsweetened tea - - - if you shoot pool, since I own all the Diamond pool tables in the bar, the table time will be on me!
Thank you Mark.i love to watch you commenting on Efren. You are the very few commentators who gives Efren a fair treatment unlike other Americans so pro Americans,very obvious clinging their fellow Americans. Thank you so much MARK.We Filipinos love Efren so much. For his great kindness and humility. He deserves fair and equal treatment.God bless you more
Tôi thấy ông Efren lớn tuổi rồi mà vẫn còn phong độ hiếm thấy đúng là nhân tài đẳng cấp là mãi mãi và đặc biệt hiện tại quê nhà ông vẫn cầm cơ đi đánh bida độ cá cược.. thật ngưỡng mộ 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Every sport has a name associated to it that automatically comes to mind. Efren Reyes is to 9ball. Still going at it. Maybe until his hands fall off 😁.
The old 'goat' is worthy of his "Magician" title. Even if he was up all night, (playing poker or chess no doubt), he is still the greatest pool player ever.
Cuz yes pretty old here and he had an arm injury to the right arm as well. Plus when you get older your eyes aren't good as they used to be. Although I believe in a previous match before 2022 they mentioned that Efren got lasic surgery but I feel like it did not work or he did not get it. He can still run the table and break and run but he won't be his old self
Shout out to Mike D! It's been 20+ years since I lived in Portland. I often wonder how the guys at Classic Billiards are doing. I miss the competition and the friends I had there, you included. If you happen to read this give me a holler. Cali Fred
in 300 years efren will be remembered every time you see a pool table no one can match him not only in pool skill but his skill in humbleness pihilipines will be remembered too everytime you hold your cuestick
I get to meet the 2 premier team pool players in the Philippines 🇵🇭 while on vacation back in 1999. The Philippine Team headed by Efren and the Philippine Selection headed by his nemesis Amang Parica. All got grade A ratings to be in that level. A few remain quiet by the side yet highly respected among the group as their games can rack up 7 or more except consistency due to discipline. One is a leftie name Roy who never ask a plus to any one even to Efren or Amang, sadly gone early for the world to see him play and few more unbelievable talents….❤
Fortunate to play Efren at our family restobar in Quezon City Philippines 🇵🇭 Able to get to meet Old Jack Pectus who trains Bata with cushions and replaying shots that look magic. Jack look after the Magician cue tip repair. One secret close to Bata knows is seldom takes a shower to avoid shoulder and arms cramps and fatigue playing long hours….
It was the era that you learned, English was used by the Gs in the pool halls ,I went in sportmans formally pockets on sullivant ave and they were open on Christmas and other family gathering holidays as bowling alleys were the other,the new gens dee,corey Chris b and alex ,All ran throughout that pool hall.good times
Michael can't be more than an average "C" player. Even good "B" players play better than he showed in this match. I feel bad for him even though Efren did his best to make it an interesting match. Cudos to both men for a great show!
I would say I have seen 9 ball format when the player wins whenever they score the 9th ball with a legit move. This is the first time I see they'd take out the ball and switch the player
..the GOAT hands down…as an aside I have never understood why they’ve gone with this template for racking. Sure seems the old diamond shaped rack was infinitely better IMO..
El partido más malo que e visto de Efrén Reyes reconociendo siempre que el sigue siendo la cabra pero realmente ya el está para estar en su casa tranquilo y disfrutando de todo sus triunfo 🏆 bendiciones miles para ti Efrén al igual que para todos los de más
It's hard to watch a player like Dietchman who won't take a good shot with an open 9 ball table and instead wants to sell out every shot. If you're that afraid of your opponent you should concede the match and go home especially when you can't run four balls.
Stop talking about Efren's age all the time. He's playing every day in the Philippines and playing great! You two almost have him dead and buried and reminiscing. Its stupid. Just stop it. It's ageism.
The first couple of games, both players missed shots that made them look like amateurs. This can only be attributed to nerves & a regulation table with 41/2” pockets. W/o proper touch as to regulating speed, even assuming proper English, the pockets are unforgiving.
back during his prime, and please be reminded that he's one of the few if not the longest prime time. he will give you 27 93 handy calf in rotation whoever the f you are. he doesn't care if you are a champion as long as he doesn't know it. if he knew that you are a champion even if you are the worst of the champions he ain't going to do that because it will compromise him, hustling. he gave bustamante 46 74.

Neat! Did you gift a cue to Efren?
@@rogerscottcatheyNo, but he signed my cue case
Cool. Thanks.
⛔️ Circle the balls to indicate what is what ⚠️. Colors distort on computers and you cant tell what ball should be next ⚠️
congratulations both of you ❤❤❤❤
Wonderful to hear the nostalgic comments about Efren by the announcers. He really is a living legend! The most influential pool player of all time.
A thrill of a lifetime for me to play Efren.
Thx everyone for watching and for your kind comments 😊
You made some GREAT shots and safeties. I learned a bunch!
1:14:10 Shot of the match. Efren's still got it
Lovely and fascinating shot, and yet, it's a potential sellout catching either point of the side pocket…
Hell of a shot

Indisputable THE GOAT 🐏🇵🇭 efren "bata" Reyes "magician"
Every sport has a name associated to it that automatically comes to mind. Efren Reyes is to 9ball. Still going at it. Maybe until his hands fall off 😁.
Efren is giving this guy a game he will remember. Efren is giving this guy the chance to win a game!
I hope this guy don't wear this shirt in public. Folks might think he knows what he is doing! 😮😂
Efren Reyes GOAT 💪🏻❤
The old 'goat' is worthy of his "Magician" title. Even if he was up all night, (playing poker or chess no doubt), he is still the greatest pool player ever.
I’ve never seen Efren play like this he almost looks old lol but he is still the Greatest of all Time !!!!!
Looks old cuz he is old
G.O.A.T
Cuz yes pretty old here and he had an arm injury to the right arm as well. Plus when you get older your eyes aren't good as they used to be. Although I believe in a previous match before 2022 they mentioned that Efren got lasic surgery but I feel like it did not work or he did not get it. He can still run the table and break and run but he won't be his old self
He also was playing pool for 8 days straight. So definitely burnout
Oh and also the fact that he was using a new cue that he wasn't used to. Which definitely affected his play
reyes top in the word
El mejor de la historia.,filipinas saca campeones en muchos deportes y especialidades.,grande Efrén.
Kok bisa karna mencari makan disana susah. Makanya mau ngk mau harus mempunyai skil lebih
Indeed, the magician is pleasure to watch.
Effren Reyes is no longer young, and it must be acknowledged that age affects one's agility, precision, and speed of thinking...
And still his Fargo Rate is 759 even this minute
❤❤❤❤ efren the legend continue....😊
love from india
Efron is just a pleasure to watch
Efren is the GOAT, my favorite player though.
The best player & humble Efren Bata Reyer. Mabuhay. 🎉❤😊
Game 2 what Efren is doing is harder than pocketing. Making look like missing the shot leaving the ball on the mouth😂 that is the art of hustlin
What da heck was that shot to the side pocket?? UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Good job Efren
For my $, M-Dub and JJ are as good as it gets! Fun match, thanks guys.
Efren is so humble, when he gets a standing ovation, he also stands and claps. 😊
Love watching Efren😊 such a fabulous player and a real gentleman ❤
Same here. To me, he’s still the best. I always love ❤️ to watch any videos that concern him no matter how old it is. 😍❤️
Nice job Mike. Very strong showing!
Thank you!
Shout out to Mike D! It's been 20+ years since I lived in Portland. I often wonder how the guys at Classic Billiards are doing.
I miss the competition and the friends I had there, you included. If you happen to read this give me a holler. Cali Fred
I know Mike from Midway in Oregon City. I'll show him this message.
The LEGEND CONTINUES 🙌
legends never die
Efren is still the classiest player to pick up a cue stick.
in 300 years efren will be remembered every time you see a pool table no one can match him not only in pool skill but his skill in humbleness pihilipines will be remembered too everytime you hold your cuestick
Walang kupas parin idol
In the past year, I have noticed just a tad bit of unsportsmanlike conduct emanating from the goat when he misses.
Accu-Stats does the best job of billiards videos.
its was clear that reyer was playing entertainingly 😀😀😀👍👍👍🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩indonesia
Even Efren using broom stick he’s still winning the game😅
I frickin love accu-stats! Efren is the epitome of a respectable pool player.

Thanks for another great one! Be Safe
Whats the use of the ref./ spotter if the players are the one to arrange all those balls to hit off???? Just asking only,,
enjoy watching the crowd reaction every time efren makes an amazing shot 🙂
🔥🔥👌 can't get tired watching Efren tha magician
Efren is so humble he stood with the crowd during his own ovation.
the GOAT Efren Bata Reyes
Fortunate to play Efren at our family restobar in Quezon City Philippines 🇵🇭 Able to get to meet Old Jack Pectus who trains Bata with cushions and replaying shots that look magic. Jack look after the Magician cue tip repair. One secret close to Bata knows is seldom takes a shower to avoid shoulder and arms cramps and fatigue playing long hours….

to defeat efren means do not go for safeties it's quite the opposite for him
efran always number one,👑👑
Standing ovation nothing less
Every time that one announcer says mm-hmm, take a shot. You’ll never see the end of the match.
Once again, Efren got lucky. 😂 Congrats to the one and only GOAT of Pool...
Good job sir 🇧🇩♥️you
Great game .....i really enjoyed this game .......l
Ese chico si le hace honor al nombre de su camisa, le gusta es el juego de las escondidas
Why are the players racking & not the referee
Shuman wins MVP -prize!
GOAT::: Efren Reyes!!!
The Mike Tyson of Pool !!
I'd say ali
Michael can't be more than an average "C" player. Even good "B" players play better than he showed in this match. I feel bad for him even though Efren did his best to make it an interesting match. Cudos to both men for a great show!
If you wanna win from Reyes. Dont give him the stick
Theres more than he wins than he lost a game
I would say I have seen 9 ball format when the player wins whenever they score the 9th ball with a legit move. This is the first time I see they'd take out the ball and switch the player
Watching from Benguet province Phil.
Reyes❤❤❤
Efren almost always wins the lag
Wish i watched pool during Efren's prime. Guess I have to settle for SVB. 😂
Master Yoda in real life 😅
Legend
It's weird to see the 9 ball on the spot but they're breaking from the side corners which is the 1 ball on the spot break
WTG Effy... still the GOAT
da gizoat
Efren beat Varner for the US Open Title.
Legend efren ❤
Awesome strikedby efren bata
Efren should replace the loose coat to avoid referee calling a foul
..the GOAT hands down…as an aside I have never understood why they’ve gone with this template for racking. Sure seems the old diamond shaped rack was infinitely better IMO..
Please be patient, the 'video plays soon'.
1:14:37

Ese es el Efrén q conozco esas son sus jugadas
What does ”Badboys” mean?
It's one of my sponsors.
Badboys Billiard Productions
We set up and run pool tournaments.
Badboys runs the Derby City Classic
Shuda made the 5 ball with a house stick.
Its not a hype its legit goat forever maybe carlo? In the future
Can someone explain what’s wrong with this shot? 34:21
push shot
FUE PHUS. TENÍA QUE TIRAR LA BOLA UNO ( BAAL ONE )
@@jhunbaguio8124isn’t it a valid shot? Or it was part of a rule?
The shot was on the one. This was a push, right?
I’ve never seen Efren play with that cue maybe that’s why the missed shots
I agree...he was frustrated with his cue... Rolando offered him a different cue...ER refused to switch
This match is almost hard to watch Bata missing so much.😢😢
Deutschland played a good match against effren,should not feel bad. I've been there
Reyes le gana a todos
por que tiene conocimiento de billar( la teoria de los diamantes(para efectuar calculos).😅🎉
rack 13 napasayaw ako sa 1:22:20 doon ah ❤❤❤❤ taz ung ipanalo ka kamot ulo kapa he he he ❤❤❤
Lol Efren tried to pattern rack and the ref called him out
Stop talking about Efren's age all the time. He's playing every day in the Philippines and playing great! You two almost have him dead and buried and reminiscing. Its stupid. Just stop it. It's ageism.
Efren Reyes plays only for entertainment..😂
White Sarah Walker Cynthia Hernandez Brian
👽 .... .. thx.
Someone explain: Effren shoots, hits the two ball, pockets the nine, and its not a win?
Because the object ball was the one ball
Okay, last comment; Bata is not playing like himself. Maybe it is the cue. I don’t know…
I peep a lot of things I'm from the city too but you getting paid from CMR idk know if ppl can see it but you slick side giving them promo
The first couple of games, both players missed shots that made them look like amateurs. This can only be attributed to nerves & a regulation table with 41/2” pockets. W/o proper touch as to regulating speed, even assuming proper English, the pockets are unforgiving.
I was scared to death.
Fact
Thanks for the reply. I have the highest respect for your play.
❤
Titigil lang sya pag hindi nya na talaga kaya
8:53 لااا هنا مضرطت
back during his prime, and please be reminded that he's one of the few if not the longest prime time. he will give you 27 93 handy calf in rotation whoever the f you are. he doesn't care if you are a champion as long as he doesn't know it. if he knew that you are a champion even if you are the worst of the champions he ain't going to do that because it will compromise him, hustling. he gave bustamante 46 74.
