during the year 1971 and 1972, i am a frequent visitor of lucky 13 billiard hall where Efren Bata Reyes is a mainstay, he is an all around player, one time i watched him play stop one, the play is he always shoot one time whether he pockets the ball, what he is doing is hide the mother ball and he will say where it will go, and the mother ball goes there, a chain smoker too, one time i play with my friends, i watched him practiced and practiced all the time as our table is very next to him, he is a real pro like he will live and die at the side of the billiard table.
@@markblow1966 Yes i agree. Who the hell let him anywhere near a mic. What he said didnt match what was going on. The commentary was a disgrace, and annoying.
All plays in that match extraordinary god-gifted Talent unbelievable the way they know how to draw back the ball and use English on a professional size table they make it look easy
If you enjoy that kind of play... I recommend you really look into snooker....cue position after making the shot is basically the entire game... on a table that's 150% the size of a Professional Pool table.
Davis says if only Efren focuses in snooker, he would probably on the top of the game.. Ronni O'Sullivan says "Efren is the GOAT".. Undisputed GOAT in any sports
The Michael Jordan in Billards. Efren is the only pool player to be called "The Magician". Our country was famous in this game because of this man. A round of applause!
It was big money in the sport back then, those were the glorious years and Efren the greatest pool player the world has ever seen! 🎱🔥 (Honour to crazy Strickland as well!)
The referee she is always happy for Efren when he does great snooker shots hiding the cue ball! Somehow I think she has great admiration for Efren being so humble who you never see cheating!

Any world pool player champion can also do all the tricks he does on the table. But none of them has the “GUTS” to do it during a tournament. Only Efren “Bata” Reyes has the BALLS!!! Definitely the “Magician.”
Tricks is not the reason for being he called Magician, as any pro player can do that. He called Magician for being the only one who always succeed in difficult shot using ziz-zag, even using four side.
He was called the Magician coz he always see shots that other people haven't think about or even saw. He can execute difficult shots and even kick shots. As the great Johnny Acrher said while commenting on a match of Efren, "Efren call fool anybody" with the shot selection he chooses on the matches he played.
He plays with no fear at all, he always feels like he can make his shot and yes he’s the only person who has the balls to do it with big money on the table.
Fats was more of a showman, wasn't he? Mosconi on a good day vs. Efren would be pretty interesting. There wouldn't be much hotdogging in the middle of it.
I was always surprised Davis continued to play 9 ball pool with a snooker cue . Ive played both and it was so much harder to get white ball action with the small smaller tip with the heavier white ball .
i'm proud to be a filipino because of this man the world pool champion the pride of the Philippines the Living Legend "The Magician" Efren "Bata" Reyes😀👍👏🏆🏅🎱🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Did I hear that he won 165,000$ in Tokyo ? Imagine so many times he played and won , He sure deserve it, better entertainment,, This is better than golf . 🎱🎬

Always amazing to see two of the most respected players in a match. Efren the GOAT always entertains me but Michaela Tabb's smile at 42:41 was rare and priceless, too.
Earl is actually a great player. It’s psychological. He is his own enemy. Earl is an unstoppable machine when he has total focus on the game. I was there when I watched him play Efren in the Color of Money. Both of them were at their best. A grueling 3 day competition. Efren just won by a couple of games. The score was 115 to 113 racks, I think.

World Pool should have a “Efren Reyes Cup” or “The Magician Cup” in honor of Efren Reyes.
Best idea 💡
How cool the comment is this
World Pool may do that after he die, similar to Paul Hunter cup of Snooker
Yeah, like the Mosconi cup, in honor of Willie Mosconi

Yes indeed.

Four masters of their professions: Efren Reyes, Steve Davis, Michaela Tabb and Sid Waddell.

Even the referee can't help herself but just admire Efren
haha I always skip to that bit, Michaela Tabb said he was the greatest player she ever saw.
The one in only Magician, of the worldpool.
Efren: does anything
Commentator: Perfect angle
The goat among the goat...not to mentioned how unlucky he is in this matched....it's magic man
Reyes knows what he's doing, very few of his shots are lucky. Definitely a world champion.

Efren reyes is a magician
It must of been a thrill of life time to ref. this game. She was a big fan and favorite of Refrin.
Efren was a real hustler sometimes he deliberately miss the target ball just to keep-up the opponent and add more bet
That is hard to prove. Maybe he did, maybe he did not. Nobody can tell, but you can comment.
