Who else was happy seeing 2 legends play pool together.
Me
I just graduated college @ 99 and I remember me, dad and uncle awake @ 3am just to watch this magnificent matchup. Now i have 3 kids still revisiting this. Definitely the best lineup. This world pool 99 is like the dream team!
Not to mention Michaela Tabb refereeing before she became the first female to referee a World Snooker Championship final... this match had it all..
No better age, no better time to be alive. People won't understand but the generations we saw before us, the times we live in and the future we believed in! It was like all human history in less than twenty years. Then it all got used up and we've left out descendants nothing but shit..
Efren so calm & jimmy so humble..
I love you both..💪💪💪
One of the greatest matches in pool. Jimmy's 5-9 combination was phenomenal. Efren reye's bankshot on the 2 and thin cut on 3 was was like a magician doing surgery procedure. This is clash of the legends. Sad that one of them has to lose.🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
You wouldn't believe it if you didn't see it.
Ck
Jimmy’s 5-9 fluke you mean 😁
@@elibo0n it's defo not a fluke when you're playing at that level
@@elibo0n What, the "fluke" that Steve Davis called in advance during the commentary?
And not only does Jimmy walk to the end of the table to pick out the line of the cue ball from off the cushion, but no sooner does he hit it then he is turning his head to see if he gets the full ball contact on the orange five ball that he needs.
I'm Irish, I love Jimmy , but effron is on another level. Well played Jimmy. God bless you both.
Hands down one of the best matches I’ve seen. They are too good, two legends. What a pleasure.
Let's not forget another legend, snooker & pool referee Michaela Tabb
Only Efren could have gotten out there. The GOAT. Still get chills watching this ending. And Jimmy so respectful in defeat.
Boring he can't play snooker like Ronnie 😅
Lol Strickland is superior
@@GA001 i dont believe. EFREN is GOAT
@@CHEMINE734Strickland does have a winning record against efren though, although efren won the more famous matches I guess.
He has no magic
I must owe TH-cam now for watching such a fantastic match!
Story of Jimmy's life. Play legendary pool but just get out-legended.
Well said.
That bank kick from safety to make the 9. Oh shit!
"out-legended" lol good one. What a fantastic match and of course the 5-9 w knot shot and the 2 bank !
Yeah. Surely one of the best players of all time but doesn’t have that killer instinct with his heart of gold bless him. That’s why we love him
@@nickbaigent2714
Too nice?
Man I remember seeing this live. And, wow what a moment to relive. Thanks TH-cam!
Me too. Ahh to be 17 again
Great match played by two legends made even better with two legends in the commentary box and a great crowd. I miss Sid Waddell.
Awe so gutted he's a goner. (Bless/RIP) ♡'d him on the Mic' in Darts aswell.
I wish to see efren bata reyes in snooker
@@mustaphamimoune1837 Yes, or some other big name pool player get an invite to a snooker tournament. I'm also surprised that no snooker tournaments have been taken to the American countries.
@@millysworld6150 I think it’s a first but the 2022 World Games are taking place in Birmingham Alabama this year and they’re gonna have snooker matches.
Fr these guys were great. Seen so many pool commentators be so pretentious and think they know more than Efren earl jimmy ect
Thsts what legends are made of.. Being composed under pressure and finishing the fight with class. Salute
For the longest time I didn't realize Sid did anything other than darts commentary. Legendary man himself.
I keep coming back to this match everytime! It's THAT GOOOOOOD
That bank shot on the 2 in the final rack was cold blooded. Especially after the big cheers for Jimmy's crazy shot.
damn he made it seem easy..
And then to immediately follow it up with that 3, so badass. Doesn’t celebrate at all.
Pure monster
So glad I found this video. I absolutely love Efren and now Jimmy White is right there with him. This match has been one of the best if not the best I have watched. I know it's an old match-up but so much talent there. Mad respect for these legends
Watch Alex Higgins and Jimmy white vs Mike Masse In the mosconi cup, fucking legendary
@@conorfrizzelle2529 marching powder competition
21:24 man efren is the goat the deciding shot of the game💪💪💪
Just amazing that our very own Efren Reyes got to run shoulders with Davis and White - I love snooker and pool and this was just amazing to watch
That 5-9 was one of the best shots I've seen. A thing of beauty 😲
as a 9 ball player myself, I say that 5-9 combo is pure luck
@@susilopras4822 Maybe Jimmy thought like that...But it still need luck as he may also just thought "maybe can"
1-9 and 5-9 was absolute luck
@@pomstattootv3090 no it wasn't luck, at the level they play at flukes are rare.
@@1747carling by saying "flukes are rare" You are admitting that flukes happen 😂 and It logically follows that the 5 - 9 combo could have been a fluke.
Watched this match live on cable tv with my brother at 2 am...it was amazing. Feel so lucky to be able to have known this GOAT for a long time now
It was like watching two heavyweight champions go toe to toe. Amazing match
Jimmy's 1-9 combo was awesome
If this title run doesn't prove Efren is the greatest pool player of all time, I don't know what does. The 5-9 plant by Jimmy White is on my top ten list of most spectacular pool shots in history too. What a match!
That shot was incredible. Just unbelievable.
Yeah this basically sums it up. The 5-9, then Reyes answering with that ridiculous shot on the 2.
Ronnie O'sullivan is the greatest snooker player a much tougher game.
@@JMK1998you're capping
@@JMK1998well this isnt snooker.....you twit
One of the legendary and the most thrill match 🔥
JImmy was good and lucky but Efren is hands down the GOAT!
This has the best resolution so far. Thanks for posting.
That 5-9 is why we all love jimmy. What a shot, he has the nerve, the vision, the balls, AND the skill to pull that off.
I still remember watching the snooker world championships at my granmas house when I was about 5 and saying I like him without even knowing why she said ‘everyone does’. Jimmy is truly the peoples champ.
Go on the whirlwind 🌪
Karna anda hanya melihat vidio bidikan jimmy,coba anda lihat vidio bidikan efren reyes yang lain,anda pasti akan bilang efren reyes adalah manusia yang dilahirkan untuk billiard...
@@yayanwaelah507 lu ngapa dah?
that 5-9 combo was pure luck, not vision, you have 0 knowledge of both pool and snooker if you think he intended that for a second.
For me is one of the best shots in history so difficult And against efren bata reyes
Wow ..did anyone notice on the deciding game when Jimmy broke the rack 3 balls went down the pockets and they happened to be 1 4 and 7(147) for all snooker fans the max break in a frame...wow , Was that coincidence ?
So much hyped on that Jimmy 5 to 9 combination lol, but that final rack 2 bank shot of efren didnt get that scream lol 😂
bc it's a UK crowd so they will cheer for their guy
Sadly, lots of Jimmy fanboys here won't accept that as a fluke :D lol
excellent play and wonderful sportsmanship from both players... what a game !!!
*_The way Jimmy was playing, only a God-level type can beat him. Alas, Jimmy played against Him that night._*
Impeccable::: Efren Reyes!!!
Commentator: wat a play by jimmy
Efren: i got lucky
I often wondered why he always says, "I GOT LUCKY". I thought it was because he has difficulty with English. However, he says the same thing in his native tongue. I guess, that's how geniuses are. Even if he tried explaining it, we will have difficulty understanding it.
Unfortunately one of them has to lose. But what a match!
I admire Jimmy's sportsmanship at the end of the game
Finally a channel without the rediculous editing
🤣🤣🤣🐷
Pinoy editing is the fucking worst..
It's great to see the match without any video game sound effects spliced in.
Simplesmente o melhor!!
What a great legendary match!
My Favorite and most beautiful REF. ❤ Greetings from Connecticut.
Watching more than ten times,, one of the best matches of the Game...
2022 still watching 🎉 what a match..
this match is very impressive ..
both greatplayers
both entertaining in making diffirent difficult shots ..
thats called genius
Until now, at age 68, he is still a pool shark. Philippines living legend and the greatest of all time…. Efren “Bata” Reyes.
19:27 One of the hardest, most impossible shots I have ever seen.
It is but there was just an element of luck on that shot. You should watch Efren Reyes shots on hid other matches more often, as he intentionally even points out the direction of his shots.
Get in......YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH
Yeah, this is the legendary Z-shoot + the previous shot combined
more on luck than the bank shot of efren on 2 and thin cut on 3 which is accurate
My two favorite cue stick holders❤ what an incredible last 2 frames those were!!
amazing,both speakers and players are great overwhelmed by appreciative audience and with the score and quality shots? both world caliber players
What a match. For the ages.
What everyone fails to realize is that Jimmy white was a part time pool player and for all the legend that effren was he should never have been hill Hill with Jimmy. Had Jimmy won the final frame as I think he should have effren should have hung his head in shame. Jimmy played with a snooker cue as well.
Fantastic - remember watching this live
What a match.
First time I've wanted Efren to lose.
Efren is greatest EVER ..... and Jimmy's shot of nine is AMAZING
@Br Olsos what kind of drugs do you take dude
@@powervkzar maybe fentanyl
@Br Olsos haha lunatic 2mb brainer
@@powervkzar how many times has Reyes won the world 9 ball champ? How many us opens? It's way closer than you're making it out to be if you look at the accolades both players have. You're obviously biased and also condescending asshole to a guy just stating his opinion.
What would happen if they played snooker? After that, tell me about word "greatest". Pool players cannot be compared to snooker players, because snooker players are on the whole different level.
Awesome shot byJW@19:32! ...well done ER! thanks from NZ🇳🇿 🎱👍
Last rack Jimmy got 1 4 7 off the break !
Well spotted
funny enough Jimmy really scored a 147 off the break once in exhibition!
Uno de lo mejores juegos del pool billar de la historia ....
Pertandingan ini semua penonton mendukung legend jimmy, tapi kemenangan berpihak terhadap magician Efren Reyes 👏👏
The 2 Magicians, the 2 players that have inspired me the most. Jimmy has never been world snooker champion but he is still the most entertaining player, same as Efren to watch. Nice to see how Jimmy was on a completely different level in pool than Steve Davis or Ronnie O Sullivan. Still the snooker player who gave the GOAT his hardest time I think
i still amazed even though i already watch these before❤❤❤❤
05:35 Mind how Jimmy was setting the combo for the left corner pocket and magically he potted it at the right corner, that was a super fluke that became a super shot for free.
Yeah that was a total fluke lol
Sadly, lots of Jimmy fanboys here won't accept that as a fluke :D lol
You think he would of missed it that badly?
Totally agree. As a snooker player, you would never play the right corner, always the left. You can see how he is aiming actually, and how he turns his back and walks away after 😂
@@elibo0n stop imagining things. He played it exactly as it went down.
What a game!! 👍😸
After watching countless hours of pool I'd say 19:30 is up there for the best shot of all time. This was:
- a bank
- a kick
- a combo
- a frame winner
- an escape
- in a tournament
- against Efren Reyes at his prime
If Jimmy won the match then I would say without a doubt the best shot of all time. Since he lost it, I'll place this shot in first place tied up with Efren's Z shot.
No way its comparable to the Z shot. Z shot was done with a thin slice on the 5 to the corner pocket , and Jimmy was a straight one. Jimmy’s shot was top shot but inho its not even close to that shot.
19:40 heck of a shot
The goat Efren
Damn so many amazing shots in 30 minutes!!!
Efren shut the whole arena! What a crowd after jimmy’s shots, however efren keeping calm and focus
Very good match between two legends.
On the 5 6 match, jimmy was trying the combo one nine to the opposite pocket and he got lucky and pocketed on the right
That's what I saw.
I think the same
Those kids who wants Jimmy's autograph will realize now that they just missed the opportunity of taking an autograph of the greatest pool player of all time. They can get Jimmy's autograph anytime but from Efren....
Very true. Jimmy is a legend, but they can get his in the UK at any event he attended, but the magician's is much more difficult and rare in this neck of the woods.
But jimmy plays the grown up game.
Pool is a kids game In comparison to Snooker. The pockets are like buckets
@@donaldduck7461 then why snooker players had a hard time beating pool stars like efren reyes??
@@PestiLencE638 Play snooker & then try nine ball pool. Efren wouldn’t last at Snooker & These Snooker players only had a few goes, their money was in snooker comps. Jimmy White & Alex Higgins were drunk on one occasion & beat two American pool legends in the Mosconi cup. I love pool but a child’s game compared to Snooker.
Always difficult to believe how good these players are.
Always a great pleasure to see Efren play his best and pull out a couple of impossible trick shots. Even if it was almost 20 years ago and I now live in Chesapeake, VA home of Efren's FIRST major title. My best wishes to Efren, the best pool player of all time!
Both champions.. Great
Just tuned into this randomly popping up in my screen and low and behold, I'm immediately treated to the massive talented voice of the late great Sid Waddell. Fantastic. edit: Damn! Steve Davis too :)
Of course, most of us love Michaela, but! As for Efren, we love him much better!
Both of these men are tremendous pool players
That 5-9 shot gave me goosebumps, absolutely incredible..
as a 9 ball player myself, I say that 5-9 combo is pure luck
As a lightly seasoned honey baked ham...I say it was clockwise
@@Andy-Bodhi as a non native English speaker....I say what the f@ck I don't understand what your saying...
As a vegetarian myself I must say.. that shot gave me a hard on.
Shooter’s bounce
Efren shot the bank on the 2 ball with inside spin. Phenomenal cueball control!
Efren's skill to win the game was shocking. His skill has saved him from his poor breaks in 9-ball many times.
@@ugaugauga488 that said jimmy had alot of TO in the late rounds but still manage to snuck a very good combination followed by Efren banking 2 these two are phenomenal
@@cheezezlayer493 100%
I wish that all pool shows are like this to where they show the viewers the ball sequence to which it helps the viewer get a better sense of the ball positioning layout on the table. In this way the viewers does not have to try to spend the time figuring out or second guessing the sequencing arrangement of the balls.
What a match. 2 greats
Go on Jimmy!
He's my favourite...
5:30 Jimmy you LEGEND!!!
What a legendary match!
I can bet that him was planning to play on left pocket but his luck, it went to right..
5:38 he was choosing the left pocket and he banked in the right 😂 that was so lucky
I think you're correct - good catch!
Davis deserves all the accolades afforded to him. Reyes is worthy of his sobriquet ' Magician. ' What is remarkable, that is above and beyond his skillful technique and composure under fire, is the admiration of his peers in pool. Commentators routinely acknowledge his excellence, too.
Finally a match that is not one sided, A worthy opponent.
The filipino s bright. No one can beat efren the magician.
Jimmy is one of my favourite snooker players of all time but I love his fanboy attitude with snooker and that indomitable spirit and he's a class act. That pool shot is one of the best and I think someone tried to re-create it and did it kinda but took over 50 times. I don't know whether Jimmy played it, as I would love to believe he did, so what do others think? I don't think he just smashed and hoped as it just didn't appear that way. Thanks a lot for the footage. :)
I think it was a fluke. He did line it up though and I guess he hoped for the best by get it with speed. Nevertheless it was a great shot and it came at the exact right time. In the end it didn’t matter.
@@onnyt60 He played it.
never give Efren Reyes a chance... 😂 what a game...
Incredible match;!.
Steve needs to bring this enthusiasm back in his current commentating😂. Granted he’s in his 60s now and snooker isn’t as hyper but it would be amazing
Aye, was much more enthusiastic before + 'knows the score' in general the Legend.
Terrific Steve Davis commentary too!
rack of all time😎
hill hill🙄
under pressure😤
but he escape .., and he knows what to do ..,
Greatest of All Time Manong Efren🙏
My favourite 2 players
Just WOW! PHENOMENAL
Back here again. It's not as much the match as it is listening to Sid. It's like when i revisor old F1 races, i don't care much about the result, but listening to Murray Walker is brill😊
It's so important to have good commentators when watching sport IMO
Un fenómeno!!!
absolutely no losers in this match, regardless. what a joy to watch
Is Michaela Tabb the referee?
She looked beautiful as allways. Since she was pool player, I love to see her.
About the match, it was incredible.
Thanks for sharing.
Super hot as always!
She's a nob who blames sexism when it suits.
great Jimmy want to play th 9 in the opposite corer but it got it good....great fluke....great guy...
