when the chips are down, and the money is on the table. luke humphries is the best in the world. littler is amazing, but humphries a notch above him and rises to the occasion. he will do it at the world's championship too. he's just a notch above the boy wonder.
When i thought it was gonna be a dull final from the first session of 80 averages then the second having 116+ and a 170 164 and 136 outshot is crazy good from both players
Kudos to Charlie Corstorphine. Prevented the final from being ruined. It’s bad enough when somebody whistles to put anybody off… but the World Number 1? Unbelievable. Whoever that was is no darts fan. With that out of the way… the final took a while to get going, but when it did, Littler left himself with too much to do. Humphries really wasn’t looking good prior to the final but wow did he find his best when it mattered. What a champion he is, and in the end, what a bounce back after the Grand Slam. Bet against him winning the World Championship again at your peril.
Yep noticed that too. Reckon he'd peaked too soon for this competition like 2 matches ago. He showed signs against Ross Smith that his game levels had dropped and in the final was just too slow out the blocks allied to terrible finishing meant he was done. Action will return next competition then the Worlds when he should be spot on. Unlucky Nuke
It’s amazing to see how many people have written off the other great players of recent times. Both Luke’s are fantastic players and no one can argue that. That being said, Phil Taylor could play at this standard, MVG could play at this standard and above, Anderson could also play at this standard. One player which people have completely forgotten about due to his poor form is Peter Wright. It was only a few years ago that he was untouchable for a period. There’s many more you could name. The reality is the two Lukes are the players in form but they’re not transforming the game.
Yeah just commented a similar thing. They've already forgotten what it was 10-15 years ago, when you had players you named, plus Adrian Lewis and RVB doing these averages on the regular, and prime James wade, while not hitting the same averages, was a force to be reckoned with
Amazing run from Littler over the past few weeks but if there was one man who could have beaten him i knew it would be Humphries. The Lukes r the best players in the world no doubt.
Great to see Dirk getting better after his injury, although he could or should have beaten humphries, but a sloppy game overall. Big up for him winning at the end though.
Why did Luke change his throw completely after the first break? That looked awful and looked uncomfortable. Should’ve kept with his money throw that got him to the finals steam rolling everyone.
Littler would’ve averaged 110+ if the first session wasn’t so sloppy, he averaged over 115 in both the second and third session, the first session made the difference
It's a scummy move to get the video "engagement" A comment is just like a "like" Both of them are part of the factors that get algorithm favour. So they're scumbags for ruining the viewers enjoyment. It proves they don't give a F about supplying the content for us. All they care about is how much they make. It's a proper scumbag tactic.
Can you pleas stop revealing, like in this case, the finalists already in the thumbnail and the heading.. not hard to know wich two players reached the final when writing out "titans collide". Sometimes when I dont have time to log on to pdc and watch it live I like to watch it here to save some time, but the results often get ruined either by the thumbnail, heading or both..
Ok. I'll admit it. I didn't think Cool Hand Luke could do it, the way he was throwing up to the final, and with the spectacular form Littler was in, but I was wrong. Where he pulled that from after the semi is anyones guess.
Genuinely wonder if fatigue, fitness levels etc at the end of a short but packed tornament played just a week after another packed grand slam tornament played a factor in Littlers slight dip in level in the semi and final. His darts were bouncing out a lot more, lacking power, then he changed his throw in the final. Still crazy levels on show from both players regardless
Yeah. Littlers' fitness is concerning. I hope he gets some advice and works on improving himself. It would be tragic if he had some medical issue lay him low
Typing a spoiler in the title again, are we? It's a scummy move to get the video "engagement" A comment is just like a "like" Both of them are part of the factors that get algorithm favour.

Luke humphries is 29 years old and played in the 2019 world youth championship as a 24 year old and took 10,000 pound off a 17 year old in the final. Luke littler is only 17 and won 10 titles in his first year including 2 big majors.
I think the first session stops it from being anywhere near the best final. Two fantastic players but they didn’t play at their peak for the majority of it.
To be fair, littler looked tired against Ross smith. Let's not forget what he's achieved in 11 month's. He may have lost to humphries but no shame in that.
Thought some of the members of the crowd tonight were an utter disgrace. The persistent whistling on humphries throw and the faces like a slapped arse when humphries won the title was literally everything wrong with being a darts fan. Some people need to realise they're watching greatness despite how much they love the nuke (and I'm a fan of his too). I hope they're not as nearly as intolerable at the worlds...
Thats how it goes. Littler played way better the whole tournament but when it counts most,Humphries wins again. If someone can beat Humphries ,its Boris Krčmar
Haters are gunno hate. What were you doing at 17 years of age? "Back in his box"...your comment doesn't even remotely make sense. I think you resent this young man's talent! What are you, and ol geezer who finds trolling on social media...as entertainment. At least William Wallace has some history about him. Gary WHO???
Hang on Stuart 'to be fair...most of the bounce outs.. have been off the wire of the flight and off the barrel...to be fair Stuart...where else could they have been?
Very rarely do two such talents compete during the same era. That's why Taylor dominated because he was a unique force with no real opposition. As long as Humphries is about then all this talk about what Littler will win is pure speculation. Some great games ahead from these two.
couldn't call a match between these two. Both great players humphries was to good tonight though. Look forward to more classic matches between the pair of them.
@@ghosthaunt8157 Bristow, Priestly, RVB, Anderson, Part, Lewis, MVG. It is so lucky Phil Taylor had no talent to challenge him. You lessen the names of many great players. 3 of whom beat Taylor in WDC final.
@gainsfordglen3249 all great players who achieved many great things. It's a new generation now though where anyone can beat anyone which makes it more exciting. quite like the way de decker plays as well.
Too bad we won't see a rematch of the Littler-Humphries in ther World Championship, as Humphries will be ranked 1 and Littler 4, which means they can only meet in the semi-finals
These people who whistle to put off players should be kicked out and banned for life in a great final u get idiots spoiling it wel done Luke Humphries on winning the title 🏆🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
You'll forget who Fluke Humphries ever was in 2 years , Littler is a generational talent that has changed the popularity of the game . Big difference .
Still humphries is the better player more cooler and doesn't get flustered, all this littler mania that he will take all taylors records is codswallop, not while luke humphries is about he won't, there are also too many great players nowadays, 16 world titles to beat?? He hasn't even got one yet
Sick of the media giving praise to a prodigy who deserves it. How sad. It's cool though. He's done more in his life than you ever will and he's not even an adult yet lol
@@jordanharrison8454 ^^^^ This is a good reply. TOP rated right there. Haters will hate. Jealousy is a curse... Half of them are just trolling for a bite. But I like your style
In fairness, 6 of the 8 quarter finalists this year were tour card holders so it was always likely that the final would be between 2 tour card holders. The only way around it would be to make it an amateur tournament which would potentially take away some of the prestige of it
@johnnyryan83 I meant players that had already qualified for the world's, surely the youth championship should be a better incentive. Not include an odds-on experienced player
Just because you are a Tour card holder, it does not change your age. Try rebuild the BDO and make a tourney there for the amateurs so you can have a 2nd rate contest, although it is not really a win if you do not play the best available is it?
Should we trust Wikipedia??? The Commentator said Anderson holds the Record Average with 104.72, back in 2014. But Wikipedia shows Gary's average was only 101.01. Wikipedia further shows that MVG holds the Record Average with 104.98, which he achieved in 2020. So who do we believe????
I so hope Humphries loses his bottle like he does every other tournament in the World's , because he is quickly turning me off darts . He certainly isn't the best in the world , we all know who's creating and breaking all the records , and it isn't the characterless Fluke Humphries .
The absolute state of the PDC, making the world champion and world number 1 walk out first. And the commentators glazing Littler all night should be reported to Operation Yewtree.
The players are walking out in the order of the Players Championship order of merit. Littler was higher ranked then Humphries. That's why Humphries walked out first.

He is lucky nobody used his bad darts in the games before. almost didn't get to final. If the met earlier Littler would have crushed him.
The 2 Luke’s are different gravy wouldn’t be surprised to see them reach the Worlds final again.
@@danielainger i think theyre in the same half of the draw so they could meet in the semis

He lost, get over it
@Noel-ji8nm what do you mean? Never said i supported any player i said "both" tbf i support humphries and most players over littler
These 3 matches in one day favored Humphreys as he's in the best shape physical wise but they bring out the best in each other so great final
@@reggiebishop5398 to be fair any brilliant players ahainst eachother at such a high level need to be their best to beat eachother

HE PLAYED SHITE TO GO 6-2 DOWN AND ALL THE EGG YOLKS SAYING HES THE TAYLOR LOOK SILLY NOW.
Another bit of proof why Luke Humphries is the World Number One and the reigning World Champion. He's just built different!
He's a pleb , about as much charisma as a chair leg . Can't bare to watch him play .
Luke Littler changing the style of his throw in the final, that seems super wild considering.
Because he was asked to do it.. The PDC wanted Humphries to look strong going into the worlds 😂😂😂😂😂
u have no clue. watch darts
@@darrenhilliard433 if that was directed toward me it was absolutely strange to watch the hitch in his throw during the final.
Yeah I noticed that as well. V strange.

When Humph is on blob, he's more than a match for Littler.
Amazing run from Littler over the past few weeks but if there was one man who could have beaten him i knew it would be Humphries. The Lukes r the best players in the world no doubt.
Agreed. Humphries found his best at the right moments.
Imagine these 2 in the World Cup of darts. Would be shocked if they lose a leg all tournament
Great to see Dirk getting better after his injury, although he could or should have beaten humphries, but a sloppy game overall.
Big up for him winning at the end though.
Littler back to the drawing board.
Why did Luke change his throw completely after the first break? That looked awful and looked uncomfortable. Should’ve kept with his money throw that got him to the finals steam rolling everyone.
Belly boy got smoked 🚬
watching the final and there's a short with a spoiler right beside the video, great!
And that's why humphries is world number 1. Littler jusy didn't turn up after playing some of his best darts in the rounds before.
Littler would’ve averaged 110+ if the first session wasn’t so sloppy, he averaged over 115 in both the second and third session, the first session made the difference
Yup.

Is it me or when I watched darts not so long ago, the players looked so old. Now they look like kids!
These are all relatively young guys. DvD and Smith being 32, Humphries 29 and littler, while looking the oldest of them all being 17
Love the Ross Smith little trump dance !

Just because you are a Tour card holder, it does not change your age. Try rebuild the BDO and make a tourney there for the amateurs so you can have a 2nd rate contest, although it is not really a win if you do not play the best available is it?
Humphries can flex he won more 'majors' than Littler this year.
World Series final aint a major btw.
Should we trust Wikipedia??? The Commentator said Anderson holds the Record Average with 104.72, back in 2014. But Wikipedia shows Gary's average was only 101.01. Wikipedia further shows that MVG holds the Record Average with 104.98, which he achieved in 2020. So who do we believe????
