I just want to suggest to avoid or limit putting unecessary sounds (e.g. laughs) and picture / videos. I like the narration and the rawness of the game itself.
Efren seems like such a super nice and pleasant guy!! Can't stop smiling, saying humble things and giving respect to everyone else! One of my new favorite athletes of all time!
Efren reyes is a very humble person and down to 🌎....he respect all his opponent..proud to be filipino..efren is my most favorite player of all time..the G.O.A.T
When I was a kid, I wondered why Efren Reyes is in the textbooks.. I mean, I know he was good but I thought it's too much to put him in textbooks.. I never realized that he's not just good, he's the best player in the world!
dude for someone making efren videos , you have a lot to learn from him, especially the humble part, I'm a efren fan but your commentary just make me wanna root for the other guy
The lesson is: don't focus on beating your opponent. Focus on playing the game.. It doesn't matter if you're the better player. Focus to win not by stepping on your opponent but by improving yourself. You really don't have an opponent. You don't have to compete. You don't have to be envious on another's success. Just enjoy the game. That already made you a winner.
This is it. This comment here.. Everybody can learn from this match and apply it to whatever game one compete in. Amazing example of perfect sportsmanship..
I used to go to my grandfather every summer and he used to play with Efren and he even taught my uncle how to play. They will always play pool while drinking beers or sometimes just talk. I was little back then and Efren was like that drunk uncle that always made the room happy(He'll always give us small kids money when it's Christmas, it's a tradition we call it "Aginaldo" ). Sad that my grandpa died years ago and we had to sell grandpa house but Efren still has that smile and his kind heart.
I have played people who hung around the pool circuit. One would rack for fats and had pictures with all the top players, men and women. He played Irwin crain once and got beat. He was no slouch played him quite a bit he was in his 80s and pretty much held his own. He would go to moose clubs on the small tables and do well,winning the majority of the time. I have a friend who played pro, for cash many years until he did not feel it was right hustling pool. We sit 1 and 1 and has called me to play. I'm currently looking for a new stick,but I haven't had time to go and try it out. Currently, I'm using a Carum stick that I should not have played so much with it. Now, if I use my old stick, I'm putting way to much English on cue ball
Other way around hes breakfast lunch and dinner is rotation and hes snacks in the middle is 9 ball and eight ball that's the fact he mentioned it so many time if you want to learn play and play rotation
@@BesGaming09 Efren, I know well, I started watching him play on Accu-Stats VHS Tapes in 1991. Mike Sigel, was the best player in the World in the Drcade of the 80's. Mike Sigel was ALWAYS a better Straight Pool player than Efren Reyes. He was also the winner of 101 major Titles in professional pool, as well as willing to play anyone for large sums of $. Mike Sigel was out of pool for a ling time when this match happened. Efren was playing pool every single day. When they asked Efren "Who was the player you respected the most", He said "Mike Sigel"
Efren is an absolutely beautiful man. He has a quiet demeanor and is humble as can be. He’s taken the majority of his earnings and sent them back home to take care of family members and educations of relatives. He’s not selfish, but has a massively generous heart. I just recently started to watch these pool tournaments and come to absolutely love this man. No bull crap, just a killer pool master that doesn’t brag. How can you not love and respect a man like that in today’s world.
I have a friend who happens to live nearby where Efren usually plays, in a bar with a pool. He said that Efren usually plays like how he casually plays with his friends, well with an addition of beer on the sides lol. He's very down to earth and he's the type of guy you'd want to drink beer with.
Yeah, unlike the mouth who seemed like your typical insecure guy whos lost his hair and now absolutely cant take a loss, even when he's playing cards with his children. His loud mouthing is also a sign of that lack of confidence, while Efren just smiles all the time. You see who got the real confidence, charisma and is the true sigma male Chad thunder-cock here? Yep, its Efren and he just sparkles with charisma and a humble attitude. These are the people who are the best people to have a beer with and ofc to have as your friend. If Efren was my childhood friend, I know I would habe lucked out caus he just shows it even with his body language! It felt so good se him win, actually humiliate this loud mouth while not wven talking trash ONCE , actually just smiling at him , even when he was talking trash right at him! I mean... wow, he's emulating jesus here in terms of being humble! What an amazing guy really1
While Sigel is annoying as hell, he caught some seriously bad breaks. He didn't help himself on the couple of opportunities did get either. You can't do that when you are playing the GOAT. He just didn't know it yet. He though HE was the GOAT. Efren's control of the cue ball and mapping of his progressions is like no other I've ever seen. He makes it look effortless. Put all that together with his easy going, humble nature, how can you not love this guy?
@@somebodystolemygoddamncarr520 In this case, it is younger. There are two Efren Reyes playing billiard in his province. The Magician is younger. Hence, he is nicknamed "Bata"
I like your casting, your explanation helps us non-billiard players know what's happening but I advise you to tone down with the editing (sound effects, meme clips), the game itself is interesting there's no need to put those.
@@BesGaming09 and some people don't find it funny.. its a bad attitude to make fun of your opponent in a sport. Even Efren would not be happy with this..
All praises to you all the time Sir Efren. Thank you for your great contribution to sports, especially to the Philippines Sports History. Nawa po ay humaba pa ang buhay nyo at patuloy na mapagbigyan para lumahok muli sa ganyang kompetisyon. We love you, so proud of you Sir Efren!☺️💞🇵🇭🙏
Watching this again just to have a good laugh,observe Efren's facial expression when Sigel talks too much,he was smiling all the way maybe because he thought Sigel was complimenting him for the flawless strokes & perfect cue ball control..or he is just smiling because he have no idea what Sigel is babbling about..Efren only said he got lucky at the end of the video,how on earth does someone win 80 international titles based on luck?humble humble champion you are Efren Reyes
Mil, u r too smart that u think Efren cannot understand English. When the ocean is silent, means it is deep/smart. When it is too noisy, means it is shallow/less smart.
I went to watch the game after this video, Mike actually did quite well in this tournament. Sure it was below his usual standard( I assume), but for someone who was off and took longer to focus on getting the job done, he really gave it what he could...with that said...Efren is a BEAST of pool player.
Oh horseshit. Mike Sigel is also one of the greatest pool player in history. He played great to get there and had a bad run against a great player. Happened to Efren throughout his career too.
Mike, underestimated Efren. You played for 40 years, Efren living on the pool table for life.....lol. the legend. Next time don't belittling the Asian. Karma comes to you.....lol
Efren is amazing and deserves it ALL but the editing and “shots” taken at Sigel was a bit much almost like bad sportsmanship from an obv Efren fan or just pure hater of Sigel - well done Efren! Amazing talent and game as always 👏
this video should’ve focused on Efren performance but instead it was a 10years old trash talk of the opponent. awful watch tainted Efren performence really imo
His "incessant need" to add comedy ends up being more disrespectful than funny. Its embarrasing to think, as a filipino himself, he did not understood how Efren respects everyone - including his opponents.
I absolutely understand where you're coming from but I have to disagree with you in this case. That guy was nothing but rude through the whole thing. Bragged about all his years playing, talked through almost every single shot Efren took. I'm more upset that the reffs didn't say anything to him about being quiet or being disqualified. I've seen them do it in snooker and every other game I've watched. Why does uncle Bob get a pass just cuz he came out the retirement home to play? This guy's a joke as far as I'm concerned. I'm not even gonna brag about my skills on a table but just from watching him, I can almost 100% garontee you I could beat Mr Sigel in a match. I play pretty decent under pressure, especially if the opponent does nothing but talk crap and can't even back it up. He deserved this imo
@@mad7medieval7 I’m sure your a very good pool player, Mike is better than what you see here, the prize money and the fact that he’s playing against the goat 🐐 is probably why he’s choking and talking so much.
The most frustrating on this video is the editing. Too much video clips that refers from movies that the only role is just to say shut up which makes it more frustrating and the repetition of lines are just too much.
no one even notice that sigel has been drinking that empty bottle 12:12 every time reyes scores 😆 edit: wow Thank You for the 40 likes ❤️ my first time !
You should have shown that long 8-ball shot Efren made to win one of the games in this match. It was awesome and it really should have been in this video
I really like Efren Reyes he is such a humble man and one of the very best shooters to ever play this game.. he deserves to win that prize and trophy.. He truly is a magician on the table..
"I Think"......Efren is such a humble person, an idol, that nothing would make him prouder than to be "Beaten" by an upcoming player of high caliber pool. Efren often plays at small events and halls that he grew up in sleeping on the tables....I think he would "Be Honored" to pass on the stick to one as him. HE IS A WORKING MAN'S IDOL.....
Too many unecessary memes, man. Changed my like to a dislike. Couldn't understand anything with the screen cutting to some unfunny shit every two seconds. Efren is a good showman by himself, let him do his magic and stop overcompensating.
@@williamdevera3742 Ok, don’t listen.. lol.. But, you do realize there are 5-6 dudes who played in Efren’s era who would torture Efren, playing 9-ball, right?..And I believe 9-ball is a terribly flawed game, I play one pocket.. So I have a lot of respect for Efren.. I’m just not clueless, like you.. Guys like Sigel, Nick, Buddy... Would just rob Efren playing 9-ball.. And Sigel would rob him playing straight pool, too..
@@jacobjones5269 maybe ur right but as u can efren,s get better as he gets older thats what makes them different and they have always been proud that they are so good on the other side efren always keep quiet and let his skills talking not he,s mouth like siegel did thats what make efren the goat even if they trashtalk him or distracted him while playing he didnt respond to them and hes super humble unlike the other hes always saying that hes got lucky everytime he wins
I don’t think the other guy meant anything by saying he’s played pool for forty years. But apparently it seems you think he’s being cocky? I don’t think Efren thinks the other guy is being cocky either. Nor was he taken-a-back by it. He was just concentrating on his game.
What a game! Efren Reyes has an incredible spin control! Always feel good to watch "The Magician" playing! Love watching your videos man, keep up the good work.
he is none other than .... (drum roll) ... the Magician ... a man who needs no introduction ... the one ... the only ... Efren ... BATA ... R E Y E S ! ! ! !
Him talking alot was just his defense mechanism. He's obviously felt humiliated bc didn't score at least one. He lost his concentration or he was never ready for this match. He seems disturbed and pressured that's why he missed those shots for a pro like him. One, two, three missed shots is acceptable but like throughout the whole match? He wasn't in his mental condition for this match that's why he missed even those shots that even amateur can pull off.
That's part of sports actually. It's different when practicing than when playing sports against someone who's very good and you're getting humiliated in front of many people. It would take a lot of courage to get a hold of yourself
I'm still remember watching this match back in 2005 with my dad. The Magician gave ZERO chance to The Mouth. His rotation, placement and trick shot will blown you away. If you call Mike a legend, you may call Reyes a GOD. Not a doubt at all he is The Greatest Player of All Time.
@@Shinyboy29 I’ll keep the Bible to myself, if you keep your opinions to yourself. Yet here we are, listening to you share your opinion, whilst you dictate to others what to do. lmao.
Efren Bata Reyes is one of the most correctly Poolplayer. Never seen him angry or disrespecting his opponents.He is and remains a great asset to pool sports.
Never heard of efren suing someone or a tournament.but What i heard was people were telling him to sue but he gave them a chance to pay him in installments.
My grandma said must wear red so we will good luck. And also warned us never wear black colour as black brings bad luck. After watching this, I feel we can just wear anything we like. Because 命有心造， 福自我求。 If your heart is pure (like Efren, humble and don't expect anything out of this match), you sure win. You see his hair cut, no gel a bit messy but suits him? Simple guy, I doubt he went to top end salon to get his hair trim or dye. If your heart before the match is like.... "so cocky, over confident (I played pool for 40 years and 'loser' this word is not I'm my dictionary) and tends to quick to judge your competitor, then big mouth => you sure lose!
I think Efren is not only great at getting the ball inside the hole, but also great at position his white ball. While Sigel only focusing on making the ball go inside the hole.
sigel won 10 championships, still deserves a big respect. plus it's obviously such an unlucky game for him. 😂 efren could make tougher shots than Sigel obviously, which means efren's the better one in any angle. 💯
I just want to suggest to avoid or limit putting unecessary sounds (e.g. laughs) and picture / videos. I like the narration and the rawness of the game itself.
Maybe he's just avoiding TH-cam's copyright.

What's heartbreaking in this sport is that you can't do anything while watching your defeat.
Yeah but On the day Sigel could barely hit the white ball
He talked is that not enough?
You can't pot balls while sitting in your chair
His talking and ego just makes me want him to lose

@@teddybear2840 am not deciding for anyone. I know is people that apreciate that. And its perfect
But you can see here what people likes more.
when you hear Efrens The Magician it's Like Goosebumps 😮😮😮.
The most frustrating on this video is the editing. Too much video clips that refers from movies that the only role is just to say shut up which makes it more frustrating and the repetition of lines are just too much.
Funny that I actually thought they were funny and well put 😂
Same tayo ng view pre, napakatanga ng pagkakagawa ng video nato, kaya nga dapat tinagalog mo lang para maintindihan ni tanga.
@@DonQuixoteMiguel i agree but you don't have to be that hostile.
@@DonQuixoteMiguel Pre relax lang, isa lang tong critique upang mapabuti.
He keeps complaining about Siegel talking, but that is who and how Siegel has always been. Hence the nickname “The Mouth”.
I felt like Efren intended to miss those breaks to give Sigel a chance and make the game more challenging at least.
Seigal use his mouth while Efren use his brain 😂😂😂😂😂
I've never seen someone talk so much whilst playing
No Efren uses His Luck😅
True 😂 seigal to much mouth
@@Jgnth96 Is it just me cuz I find it really cringe and awkward when a player talks too much while playing.
Reyes is just the true living legend among the legends 😌👍🏻
Legend status.
no one even notice that sigel has been drinking that empty bottle 12:12 every time reyes scores 😆
edit: wow Thank You for the 40 likes ❤️ my first time !
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
Loooolll... Im dying 😂😂
lame shit
@@-YiY- whats lame
Lesson from this video: Stay humble and keep the hardwork
Indeed👌🏻🙂
Mike : “been playing pool for 40 years”
Efren: “pool table was our dining set”
nope it was his bed. and humans spend a third of their lives sleeping.
Potek HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
Pool table is his bed
You should have shown that long 8-ball shot Efren made to win one of the games in this match. It was awesome and it really should have been in this video
I really like Efren Reyes he is such a humble man and one of the very best shooters to ever play this game.. he deserves to win that prize and trophy.. He truly is a magician on the table..
Mike: "I've been playing pool for 40 years!"
Efren: "So anyway, I was born on a pool table.."
Oh no, anyway
😂😂😂
Efren : my dad was table and my mum are cue stick
Omg XD u made me laugh so much XDDD
Hahaz thankk
Looks like sigel had the best seat inside the pool hall.
i can hear your voice
😂😂😂
hahahah best comment
"I Think"......Efren is such a humble person, an idol, that nothing would make him prouder than to be "Beaten" by an upcoming player of high caliber pool. Efren often plays at small events and halls that he grew up in sleeping on the tables....I think he would "Be Honored" to pass on the stick to one as him.
HE IS A WORKING MAN'S IDOL.....
A very humble man, no ego! Respect ❤️❤️❤️
He observed, think and carefully make decision to hit the right ball. Concentration is the key and he gets lucky. Congratulations
Mike been playing over 40 years. And that only game that he had worst nightmare game, against the legend Efren Reyes...
please upload more HD of this 🥰🥰🥰 I would love to what this EVERYDAY 😍😍😍
An epic battle between an open mouth against a close mouth of a humble man.
Too many unecessary memes, man. Changed my like to a dislike. Couldn't understand anything with the screen cutting to some unfunny shit every two seconds. Efren is a good showman by himself, let him do his magic and stop overcompensating.
So annoying
He's clearly not American. I wonder if the humor is different from where he's from. I didn't enjoy it either but just a thought.
There is such an obvious bias present in the video.
@@Trillion89 look at his channel name, it can't get any obvious isn't it?
U are annoyed because as americans ur pride is bigger than ur talents.. lossers
Some players think they are that good in playing and they talk about it a lot. But Efren Reyes let his cue stick do the talking.
The guy nick name is literally "The mouth" what do u expect there 😂
In their primes, Sigel robs Efren at everything, except one pocket and possibly full rack rotation.. He was that great..
@@jacobjones5269 even in his prime he cant beat efren in his dream maybe he got a chance
@@williamdevera3742
Ok, don’t listen.. lol..
But, you do realize there are 5-6 dudes who played in Efren’s era who would torture Efren, playing 9-ball, right?..And I believe 9-ball is a terribly flawed game, I play one pocket.. So I have a lot of respect for Efren.. I’m just not clueless, like you..
Guys like Sigel, Nick, Buddy... Would just rob Efren playing 9-ball.. And Sigel would rob him playing straight pool, too..
@@jacobjones5269 maybe ur right but as u can efren,s get better as he gets older thats what makes them different and they have always been proud that they are so good on the other side efren always keep quiet and let his skills talking not he,s mouth like siegel did thats what make efren the goat even if they trashtalk him or distracted him while playing he didnt respond to them and hes super humble unlike the other hes always saying that hes got lucky everytime he wins
In an interview, Reyes said Segel is his main idol, so he came prepared.... By rack 7, Segel was clearly demoralized... Respect for both legends..
No one beats our MAGICIAN. He is a LEGEND.
❤️❤️❤️
That’s the difference between “Player vs The Legend”
Mike: "I've been playing pool for 40 years!"
Efren: "The pool is my bed since childhood!"
F*ck this comment
tis was too dark ---
@@PongkieRaditya everybody loves his comment and nobody likes yours. Go do a little thinking
True literally his bed since childhood
it is funny but it would be sad if it was true lol
I don’t think the other guy meant anything by saying he’s played pool for forty years. But apparently it seems you think he’s being cocky? I don’t think Efren thinks the other guy is being cocky either. Nor was he taken-a-back by it. He was just concentrating on his game.
What a game! Efren Reyes has an incredible spin control! Always feel good to watch "The Magician" playing!
Love watching your videos man, keep up the good work.
"One of the most lethal and legendary players in pool history, a hall of famer, Efren the magician Reyes! "
he is none other than .... (drum roll) ... the Magician ... a man who needs no introduction ... the one ... the only ... Efren ... BATA ... R E Y E S ! ! ! !
Imagine being the defending champion and get 0-8
5-8 no 0-8
@@andierwarff3532 are u blind man look at the score board or listen to the comentators says on there score
It's just stripe or solid balls. Easy
@@andierwarff3532 huh? Yo blind?
@@williamdevera3742 it's edited if you look at 23:50 you'll see the real score
0:48 this is proof that Filipinos are humble
Him talking alot was just his defense mechanism. He's obviously felt humiliated bc didn't score at least one. He lost his concentration or he was never ready for this match. He seems disturbed and pressured that's why he missed those shots for a pro like him. One, two, three missed shots is acceptable but like throughout the whole match? He wasn't in his mental condition for this match that's why he missed even those shots that even amateur can pull off.
After third game, his mental absolutely dropped hahaha
His momentum didnt even started hehe
That's part of sports actually. It's different when practicing than when playing sports against someone who's very good and you're getting humiliated in front of many people. It would take a lot of courage to get a hold of yourself
To be fair he didn't get many chances throughout the whole match
I'm still remember watching this match back in 2005 with my dad. The Magician gave ZERO chance to The Mouth.
His rotation, placement and trick shot will blown you away. If you call Mike a legend, you may call Reyes a GOD. Not a doubt at all he is The Greatest Player of All Time.
The Bible says not to Idolise or worship anyone else but God. So no. Efren is a human, and not a God.
@@JohnPedder to be honest, Idgaf about what your Bible says John.
@@muff5568 Still makes sense not to worship a human as a God hahaha
@@JohnPedder Your bible, your rules, keep them to yourself. Don't enforce them to everyone else like shariah
@@Shinyboy29 I’ll keep the Bible to myself, if you keep your opinions to yourself. Yet here we are, listening to you share your opinion, whilst you dictate to others what to do. lmao.
i always see him playing with no name players while having beer. his down to earth he even makes funny joke everytime he shot
Efren Bata Reyes is one of the most correctly Poolplayer. Never seen him angry or disrespecting his opponents.He is and remains a great asset to pool sports.
Amazing guy humble and highly skilled
It was like
Efren: “Thanks Mike for coming to watch me play”
Mike: “No worries is a pleasure”
"The Mouthgician"
VS
"The Magician"
Efren Reyes is a humble person. He is a living legend!
No one can surpassed the legacy of efren reyes in billiard.
Mike been playing 40 years but Efren slept and ate on pool table his whole life 😂
Efren having the underdog mentality even though he's a freakin' powerhouse. GOAT.
A little chatter will not rattle Efren, he plays in pool halls in the Philippines, those places get rowdy, especially when there is betting involved.
Nakaka iyak 😭 sobrang proud tau kay Efren Bata Reyes. And sobrang humble nya, omg. ❤️❤️
He is like the Leo Messi of pool! Talks less plays more! And both are called magician!short and sweet!
I remember this match was a controversial one for Efren didn't take home the full 200,000$ at all. He sued the tournament after
I hope he got his prize
It was classic American racism. Lol
Never heard of efren suing someone or a tournament.but What i heard was people were telling him to sue but he gave them a chance to pay him in installments.
“Oh too much money, huh? We’ll just hold onto that then” 🤡
I think what you mean was the one against rodney morris which whom efren won with 500k usd. This game they paid him in full i think.
Humility is cool. Look at the Magician doing his god like shots 👏🏻 The mouth is truly a chatterbox 🤣
He's truly a victor, he wears that invisible crown with him
It's hard to beat Efren, this man is born in a billiard table.
@L_O_W_K_E_Y-G is it possible for any person to get INSIDE a billiard table?
Hiding from killers
Mike: ive been playing pool for 40 yrs
Efren: im the pool table
My grandma said must wear red so we will good luck. And also warned us never wear black colour as black brings bad luck. After watching this, I feel we can just wear anything we like. Because 命有心造， 福自我求。
If your heart is pure (like Efren, humble and don't expect anything out of this match), you sure win. You see his hair cut, no gel a bit messy but suits him? Simple guy, I doubt he went to top end salon to get his hair trim or dye.
If your heart before the match is like.... "so cocky, over confident (I played pool for 40 years and 'loser' this word is not I'm my dictionary) and tends to quick to judge your competitor, then big mouth => you sure lose!
* will have good luck...
notice that filipinos usually smiles in sports and always bieng humble I wish the next generation is still like this
Probably not, or probably there will be never. They're all busy posting stupid stuff in TikTok.
No
How to spot a philipino
Efren is a legend. A true rags to riches story. He used to sleep on top of pool tables when he was younger.
And he knows his bed better than anybody else
And that’s how the pool god blessed him
I think Efren is not only great at getting the ball inside the hole, but also great at position his white ball.
While Sigel only focusing on making the ball go inside the hole.
This is the ultimate manifestation of “let my game” do the talk 😍😁🤩😂
sigel won 10 championships, still deserves a big respect. plus it's obviously such an unlucky game for him. 😂 efren could make tougher shots than Sigel obviously, which means efren's the better one in any angle. 💯
Fun fact: You didn't search for this video
HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT!
It searched me!
same. the f it popped up. i didn't even play pool
Agreed.
But i am glad that i saw this
I remember Efren whispering to Sigel "How can you win if you don't shoot any balls" or was it from a differrnt match?
Eric it was
Strickland. Not "The Mouth".
And he didn't whisper.
And you misquoted.
Go drink out of an empty water bottle, you bumbling fool 😉

He played forty years of pool, now he's playing a fool.
i like mike sigel, he's a colorful character, but Efren is the GOAT💪🏼
When you have Michael Buffer introducing you, just know you've made a notch into any career you run with.
