He is a true legend, very humble guy, I was watching Efren when he was playing in LA, and he still playing good but don’t under estimate the heart of the champion! Still Very sharp 👍 it’s not his age his composure talagang magaling si Efren the things he never stop playing that’s why his performance still accurate. And he is the real GOAT 🐐 🇵🇭🇺🇸🇵🇭🇺🇸
It brings joy watching efren still out there enjoying himself after doing and seeing everything pool has to offer. Does bring a little sadness as well remembering what he used to be compared to now but that’s life 🤷♂️. Thanks for the videos as always
@@letusdebatenow I did say pool not snooker. Never seen it but efren said he beat Ronnie in 91 and Ronnie agreed said that efren the only person to out hustle him. He did give him a 25 point lead though. I think if efren would have focused solely on snooker he would have been great but he chose pool. Snooker a different beast with all those balls. They are smaller and just move different takes a lot of touch . What a great that would be to see efren vs Ronnie in all the various cue sports .
Thanks for the match. Great to see Efren is around still, beloved in Cuba. There was a player in Cuba called Ruben "Picolino" Aguilera, from Cárdenas, Matanzas. He beat many great players from the US is said in the 50s. Won the nationals in Cuba at 79 years of age playing against Josue "El Checo" Gutierrez. That guy broke and run 45 of "Cuban Chicago" Rotation in a money match, and his opponent stopped him. If you would hang a little cheap shotgun mic over the table pointing down it would raise the video experience by 1000%. Sound is sooooooo important. You can even tell what happens in some shots just by the way it sounds
Back in my tavern days, I noticed that I would play down to my opponent, or if I was lucky, I would ply UP to the opponent. I've seen Ephren do it too. Like this match.
@@fredtowns7868 is already old.. his eyesight is not as bright and control of strength and pulse declined too and you might easily get bored and might sleep in the chair
I'm happy seeing the Pinoy legend still compete on his beloved sport he is still good at his age, hands and vow down to the very humble and kind fellow Efren Reyes
Maybe Predator should send an offer to Efren to sponsor him. Efren could have made a lot of extra money over the years if he had a big cue company sponsor him. I know he was sponsored for a little while by Meucci, but that didn't seem to last long.
So these guys say watching someone break and run out rack after rack is boring? Try and do it if you can! Not boring! I was there when Earl Strickland ran 10 racks of 9 ball in a row and it was ANYTHING but boring!!!
I agree with you Danny, If you are referring to his million dollar 10 rack run,he actually ran 11 racks. And it was AWESOME, and I have never used that word before. Yep, Winner breaks, One ball on spot, No break box, No really Stupid 3-point rule ( use a speed gun if you must ), And it’s not a “break off”. … it’s a Break ! Get Real you wuss’s. It’s Nine Ball !!! Hit the one, and anything goes!
Hello Kevin Ross. You just became one of my favorite “comment” makers. Please keep telling the Pool people,It’s not felt! It’s CLOTH.! And if you ever have to do commentary with Jeremy Jones, you have my permission,( no ) my blessing to smack him with that statement. IT IS CLOTH ! Now JJ is my favorite commentator, maybe along with Earl Strickland and Scott Frost. Now, you guys are ok, and I like ya fine, but to really call a match, ( imo ) it seems like you must be a really Top player. Not saying you guys aren’t maybe or were’t good players.But these guys are or were TOP Players who also were blessed with a knack for communicating. Any way,; It CLOTH. !
As far as opposite handed playing goes, snookers Ronnie O'Sullivan could probably finish a whole frame and do well. And what about pools John Morra, who used to be a right handed pro tournament player, who switched to playing left handed. As an aside, left handed pro player Mike Siegel used to switch to right, and sometimes forgot to switch back, if I remember correctly. If he puts in daily practice, Reyes can still play a mean one pocket game with more moves than a pro ballet dancer.
I find it amusing how Eferen could care less, in most cases, about the fact that the template is still on the table when everyone else can't wait to take it off the table.
ryan made an incredible pretty tight shot on the 1, i thought it wouldn't fit thinking i would just hide it behind the 2, and then missed the easier shot on the 2. that's just heartbreaking
His eyesight has been degraded and his shoulder too due to his age, he said that to one of his interview few years ago when he stops competing internationally.
Di saat lawan lagi turun konsentrasinya di situlah memamfaatkan dengan betul betul serius dalam konsentrasimu jangan terlena dan meremihkan maka kamu akan tetap stabil dan konsentrasimu akan tetap terkontrol dan peluang menang sangat tinggi sekali trim
Thanks for showing this tournament.for my countrymen .Bata Efren Reyes.god bless
Efren is truly, undeniably, absolutely the GOAT! 👍🤩🇵🇭😍🎉🎊
Efren will einfach nur gutes Billard spielen. Es ist ihm scheiß egal, wo und wie viel er gewinnen kann. Ich liebe ihn dafür!

I don't know about "everything". I've never seen Efren run with the big boys in snooker.

@@letusdebatenow he did get a maximum and dabbled in snooker. Nowhere near the lowest ranked professional snooker player though
Thank your Railbirds TV. great coverage
Happy to see the legend still enjoying pool. At this point win or lose doesn’t matter anymore. Just want to see him play make me happy already!

Woke up in his pj's and showed up to play the magician.😂
For a legend, age matters not.😊
dude age matters to everyone.....
Thank you for the excellent live streams and commentary of the WBCA tournaments in Lincoln City!
Thank you so much, and glad you enjoyed it!
Student of the game??
Shit, he is the teacher..
GOAT
What the hell is your comment supposed to be saying
@@letusdebatenow bugok
Thank you kindly for the commentary. It added a lot to watching the match.
you can't second guess Efren's next move. He is on another level
👍
You're the best ever ❤️ Kuya Efren. Proud Filipinos 👏 🥲 🥰 continue and deserve your passion. May the Lord bless you always OFW fans😊
Back in my tavern days, I noticed that I would play down to my opponent, or if I was lucky, I would ply UP to the opponent.
I've seen Ephren do it too. Like this match.
I love this guy man.
I play pool because of him!
God bless him
Congratulation Efren Reyes🇵🇭👏👏👏
Last shot need concid to respect the GOAT.
It's that silky followthrough that remains, and still makes him formidable. To me he is still the best of all time.
The Fedor Emilianenko from the pool table.
You know all about silky followthroughs eh? Keep a spare pair around is my advice.
Agreed! Infact, I just give a new acronym for our Idol Efren Bata Reyes, as not just the G.O.A.T but, He is the B.O.A.T, The Best of All Times!
Congrats, idol, you still the best player even at your age... God bless you.....Philippines Mabuhay...
There should always be a shot clock, mayb in a hill-hill game, add 30 seconds. Otherwise, you will have players like Ryan taking way too long.
Nobody HAVE Reyes that shot he EARNED it. Smooth stroking.!!!!!!!!
.
Good match. ¡Cristo te bendiga Reyes!
Epic battle; especially at his age.
Brilliant commentary O_o
That was an impressive shot Ryan made on that one ball bank, BUT 6 FULL MINUTES IS INSANE! There needs to be some kind of limit. Good greif!
yeah i had time to make a cup of noodle and a glass of tang
You spelled grief wrong.😮😅
Efren Reyes. He still got the touch.
La leyenda aún vive
Fantástico, el gran mago efren reyes 👏
Insane how Efren is still competing, dude is 68 years old!
Watched. 100 year old run 100 meter dash with 80 an 90 year olds!! Pool is easy if you can see an walk you can play pool!!
@@fredtowns7868 is already old.. his eyesight is not as bright and control of strength and pulse declined too and you might easily get bored and might sleep in the chair
@@charleswaynebatore4142 Everyone ages differently. I'm 80 and I have no problem believing Efren can play another ten years.
Bravo
The cue is a Predator cue,and they don't sponsor him,so he covered it up.
Napaka galing parin talaga ng living legend natin super
34:15 what is he doing there?? I’ve seen others do this. New to pool.
Efren still kicking!!!
Glad to see Efren come through.👍👍😊
I enjoyed you two very much

Pool is famous bcz of this man! True goat❤
Enjoying the commentary, since you've asked.
Watching Efren Reyes play past his prime is like watching Arnold Palmer in golf.
The "magic" has deserted his game.
It Is What It Is.
Maybe Predator should send an offer to Efren to sponsor him. Efren could have made a lot of extra money over the years if he had a big cue company sponsor him. I know he was sponsored for a little while by Meucci, but that didn't seem to last long.
I don't think he really plays for the money.
Hie talent is from another planet
The G.O.A.T

Yep, Winner breaks,
One ball on spot, No

Stupid 3-point rule
( use a speed gun if
you must ),
And it’s not a “break off”. … it’s a Break !
Get Real you wuss’s.
It’s Nine Ball !!!
Hit the one, and anything goes!
Hello Kevin Ross.
You just became one of my favorite “comment” makers.
Please keep telling the
Pool people,It’s not felt! It’s CLOTH.!
And if you ever have to do commentary with Jeremy Jones,

Now JJ is my favorite
commentator, maybe
along with Earl Strickland and Scott
Frost.
Now, you guys are ok,
and I like ya fine, but to really call a match,
( imo ) it seems like you must be a really
Top player. Not saying you guys aren’t maybe
or were’t good players.But these guys are or were TOP
Players who also were
blessed with a knack for communicating.
Any way,; It CLOTH. !
Nice commentary.
great match
The goat.
I think shot clock is good help to keep from over thinking. 30 seconds with one extention per ball? Or just go 1minute and that is it no extentions.
In the 16th rack i cant imagine efrens opponent just walking around the table for almost 10 mnutes getting his turn to hit that ball number 1. Hahaha
Oh, was that just 10mins?
I prepared dinner, ate, then washed the dishes.
Came back and Ryan was still figuring out what to do.
@@Amtcboy lol
he could have taken a bath instead 😂 there should be a timer he took forever on that one.
efren is the Legend
I have played Ryan and landon and they are both very good people and players
What are the numbers next to the odds percentage? Thanks.
Fargo rating
@@ryancooley1 Thanks a bunch, my friend
After that nice one ball bank shot, I had to check the expiration date on my Drivers License.🤔

Mis respeto para esta leyenda viviente un saludo efren Que Dios te mucha vida y disfrute
What cue (what brand) is Reyes using?
ELM02 Mezz, Reyes Edition.
Yes , big Bata Ray ! Give um .
A few years back, players wore tuxedos in pool tournaments... this guy is wearing his pajamas.
I wish this sport was like snooker with an impeccable dress code, rules for behavior, and prize funds
Ryan played some good ball. Both had some hard luck.
This is an Efren statement.
I don’t need no stinking jump-cue.
I don’t even need a
break cue.
Reminds me of Scotty
Townsend (R.I.P.)
Yeah the way he push and use the left and right hands still young
He pushed it around the ball hit in the center hooking to the stick to the left to hit right.
Even efren has a frozen shoulder he still has it but not as good at his prime... He still a legend...
El freno es y serás siendo el mejor muy disciplinado
Bata forever. love you man ❤❤❤❤❤❤
We call him Hollywood at Fat Cats Billiards in Arden NC. Ryan gave Reyes a good match.
Good job
I think Ryan wants to ask for 2 days extension
😮😢😮😢😮😢🎉😮😢🎉😅😅😮
😅
😅😅😅
😅
😅
Oh my God! Those pants!
😁🤦♂
Watching Efren miss easy nine balls makes me want to weep. Tough to see such a great champion diminished by father time.
Looks like he has eyesight problem, not the skill.
Big foot keep going ❤❤❤
I feel like that wasn't a celebration at the end there, he was doing that the entire game...
nice game
2023 better call a friend
1:53 what a shot!!!
I find it amusing how Eferen could care less, in most cases, about the fact that the template is still on the table when everyone else can't wait to take it off the table.
i noticed that too 😂 such a pro, I mean GOAT ❤
I swear, Efren must have Remote controlled cue balls!!!😮😅
Wow where is the shot clock at when you need it? 1:30:00
ryan made an incredible pretty tight shot on the 1, i thought it wouldn't fit thinking i would just hide it behind the 2, and then missed the easier shot on the 2. that's just heartbreaking
Anybody else see Ryan's cue tip fly off and hit the camera on break of rack 14? "hit it so hard he shook the camera"
Good job bud
Ryan thought he could blind Efren with his wardrobe.
His eyesight has been degraded and his shoulder too due to his age, he said that to one of his interview few years ago when he stops competing internationally.
❤
No
No😊😅
Does anyone know when and where will Efren Reyes next match will be held? I can not find any info about it. Thank you
Nice
