Super annoying watching the match on only half of the screen with all that unnecessary crap around the edges
Folks, we know some don't like the ad border. Patience, please. We just started uploading all the great matches we have preserved and digitized. We upload the PBT Classics on a schedule = the 9th, 19th, and 29th of the month. The first 6 matches began uploading on August 9. We've now uploaded 6 matches. The next 6 uploads are a series called "Legends of Billiards," which we produced this past summer. It features Davenport, Pierce and Sigel doing all NEW commentary as they watch the first 6 Classics. They look back at the matches, the players, the times and the Tour. We hope you'll enjoy the unique way we did it. For those who don't like the ad bar, give us a break. We'll get it right. We're just getting started. But hey, thanks for watching and for telling us what you like and want. We're listening.
Thanks for preserving and posting these great matches. I am excited to see what you have working with those guys.
We appreciate you Don. Can't please everybody, and I know you're trying to promote the Pro Billiards Tour brand. I remember watching these broadcasts on TV and how fortunate I felt being able to watch them. This was before the age of RUclips where people can watch matches anytime, anywhere. We appreciated these matches more back then cause we had to WAIT until broadcasts would come on. Thanks again Don and team.
@@Luckydad2 Thank you, Luckydad2. We're doing what we can to give fans great pool, give today's pros more promotion and opportunity, and unite and expand the global billiards community.
Enjoying the video regardless thank you
Earl's pace of play is great to watch. He doesn't, contrary to guys I play $$$ against, rush. He stands up, surveys the whole table
then goes to work. I believe his mind works quicker than other tour players, giving the illusion that he's rushing. He is not. His cueball
control is phenomenal and even when he's slightly out of position, his shot-making is 2nd to none. Huge, huge fan of his game.
full screen PLEASE!!!!
The talent of Earl Strickland in his prime is undeniable. He's still one of my favorites, even with his antics.
People who try and say Efren was better at 9ball make me laugh. It’s pretty clear who wins if these guys play 9 ball. I watch another match where it took Earl 40 minutes to stomp Efren. I do however think Efren is the better player overall.
Earl So very happy that he beat the best player of the world efren.. Earl says during the efren reyes farewell tour that efren is the best player.. 😊
Yeah he was being kind showing respect bud, Earl is the best 9 ball player to ever hold a cue, Reyes the best all around player.
Earl has beaten Efren more than Efren did to him ..
This is without a doubt one of the greatest matches by Earl Strickland in which it's not just a man who came in with the clear decision of winning and nothing is going to stop him.
It's Earl The Pearl, up against what he I'm sure feels is the right opponent the right place and the right time.
I don't care what kind of condition the magician was in, when it comes to somebody being ready and determined to win and no matter what, not be denied, who else but are all the Pearl is literally that unstoppable Force.
Obviously not all the time, it's got to be the right elements and convergence, it's like the German fighter pilot dude in that movie The Three amigos.
"I practiced hours and hours every day, it was my dream to be as fast as...."
I LOOKED UP TO THIS MAN HE WAS LIKE A GOD TO ME!!
.... I've waited a lifetime for this moment 😐...
Seriously, go try and talk either one out of it....
The magician is not like that, he's just a brutal winner from outer space...
Earl the Pearl is the unstoppable Force meets.... And there is no immovable object and if there is it's going to move.
I've known good players that have beaten every big name and all of them without exception said that no matter how well they played even if Earl was off a little bit they still couldn't win it would be close but they wouldn't win and they walk away scratching their head thinking why?
That is just Earl The Pearl in standard gear.
Here he's ready to move Mount Everest.... I don't think there's anybody in history that could beat him at this moment place and time.
This is a great upload and it's finally here thank you...
Great call here. Earl's shot making, pace of play and cueball control is great to watch; but oh so tough to emulate, but I'm getting there !!!
Hate the advertisements. Full screen please.
Thanks for the score info
Appreciate the upload! Been looking for this match for a while now, great redemption from the pearl!
95 96 97 reyes always s the 1st runner up except 94 where he wins it
Kim Davenport should’ve done more commentary, he’s the best i’ve heard without being obnoxious like some
Earl got a lot of rolls this match.
Earl played unconscious in this match, no version of Reyes or anybody else was gonna beat Earl on that night. He was blowing Reyes away in the color of money match and the crowd being against him disturbed his bi-polar mental state and he blew it. Reyes is the GOAT #1 Earl is goat #2
@@jasonsweeton8368I remember that match . Earl was leading and the crowd. Started to irritate him on purpose..
37:32 unbelievable shot!
Isn't it!!!
Where is the original video without all the cheesy ads?
Was about to watch this video and realized i can't deal with the "breath whistle"
On the RUclips mobile app you can zoom into the video in full screen mode by pinching and dragging your fingers away from each other. Just a tip for easier watching! Enjoy people 😁
I love efren... The greatest of all time
I’m sorry I can’t watch this, the border is killing me.
Why take up 1/3 of my tv screen with advertisements for Pro Billiards Tour...wanted to watch this but couldnt... stupidity & greed
This really is a great match...two legends...9ball pioneers!
Efren wasn't quite Efren in this match...🫣
I stopped watching early in the video because of the continuous ads.
Earl Kicked his ass!! 💵 😁
The Pearl!!! Greatest 9 ball player ever, Wave to the crowd Earl!!!
We get it. The video was uploaded by PRO BILLIARDS TOUR… No need to ruin the experience of watching this old match with the garbage border around the video. I, and probably many others, would likely subscribe to this channel without this ridiculous and unnecessary presentation
Please take away the frame.
Score info pls
Is Mike Sigel your father?
Nick Varner puts me in mind of Dave Potts.
Back in the early 90’s earl whitewashed Efren 9-0 z.
Whistling in the Mic !!! Dude needs to snuff off haha

Besides the bad rolls Efrem stayed up all night again gambling cards looks like
unfuckingwatchable!!!!!! what were they thinking???
Shadows are terrible on that table.
There is really no excuse for the screen cut with its vain, greedy need to advertise the whole march. All it succeeded was to irritate it viewers the whole nine yards. The excuse by Don Mackey is lame and academic--how long have Pro Billiards Tour been in the business?
why do you yanks call this billiards, it is pool, not billiards, billiards is a 3 ball game
crytpto pool fue que yo vi?
worst match reyes has ever played
Efren got his ass kicked lol
He did and I’m glad Earl got some revenge he is a magical player for sure.
@@jaypisme2343 No player was more feared as Earl, he could run a rack in 30 seconds. He is still playing great today.
Earl the goat...no magic required
@@charlieb308 When he gets that crazy look look in his eyes, just get out of the way, there's no stopping him.
@@5000rgb I saw Earl destroy Jason Shaw in 30 minutes at turning stone casino. This was a few years ago he beat him so quick. Last time I saw those two play they both shoot so fast the match was 9-8 and still was short.
Efren sucks!!! 😖
EARL. EARL. EARL. my all time favorite . Beats effie every.time
Efren is the goat. Earl is no. 2.
Everytime? Have your facts right
@@charleslobo9696 I’m an Efren fan but Earl defeated Efren more than Efren did to him ..
Hell yes
Aha aha
Always beats effie bad
full screen PLEASE!!!!
