I followed billiards for the better 20 years of my life and I haven't seen a cue master play straight pool, one pocket, bankshot, 9ball, 8ball, 10ball, snooker, three-cushion, rotation, as better as Efren Reyes.. His kick shot, kick safe is the best there ever is, ever was, and ever will be.. His cue ball control is impeccable and he never fails to amaze the audience.. Truly the GOAT.. And let me add, Efren invented "kickshot"..
When Earl said "We are getting old", i really felt than one. It's sad to see champions like Efren and Earl hang their sticks. Rivals turned friends bonded by respect. Huuuuge respect for these two 👏👏👏🇵🇭
Lets admit it, Americans invented billiards but Efren, a lowly Pinoy showed them how to really play it. Coupled with his humility and skill. Earl knows how to appreciate a good player when he sees one. Two of the greatest, Earl and Efren
E. BATA and Earl S are like Ali and Frazier of boxing. Earl is so serious in his game do focus/ concentration that any small noise and chaterring annoys him during the game. Some people (audience) does not understands this that makes him like a villain because of his attitude. The otherhand Efren also is serious and do focus on his game but he is just simple/ quite and does not let those noise affect his concentration. People shud understand that billard is like a game of chess, needs a lot of focus and concentration unlike basketball, soccer, cricket , volleyball wherein crowd cheers/ noise is not a factor to the players concentration. Thanks Earl/Efren for putting up a good fight, a good show. Hope we can still see you both play even at 70 years old.☺☺🏆🏅🥇
I don't even know why Shane is getting mentioned whenever whenever there's a discussion about who's the Goat of Pool and not in a million times would Shane be in my lists, if Efren did not exist in this world (Hypothetically) Svg would not be the first to come to my mind, it would be Mike siegel or Earl Strickland first.
Efren is the overall better player. Earl is the best 9 pool player. No body can deny. Being 3 time world 9 ball champion and being 3 time US 9 pool champion is not a feat even Efren achieved although Efren has more overall results and universal playing style...They both have contrasting personalities and in my opinion they are Ying and Yang which full fills each other... The greatest pool rivalry of all time.
@@martinreyvillayag Yeah burt Earl also has his fair share as he also defeated Efren in many events. Being 3 time world 9 ball champion and 3 time US open champ is not something even Efren can claim. He is the best 9 ball player while Efren is the overall best. Two legends. They like Ying and Yang. Polar opposite in all aspects even the playing styles. But they complete each other.
Pumupunta yan dati dito sa Pinas si Shane para lang magpaturo kay Efren at maglaro kalaban ang magagaling dito sa atin sa Pinas. Gusto nyang matuto kaya ganon. So panong naging GOAT si Shane? Kung si Shane lang din eh di si Strickland na lang. Atsaka napaka humble ni Earl sa speech nya about Efren.
@@reynaldsanchez4527 yeahh im with you bro,, every hide of Earl counter offense from Bata ....... Therefore, they are too than other professionals for more than 80+ above championships they had, no one could ever questioned their abilities.
Efren in Pool / Pacquiao in Boxing /Arnel Pineda ỉn Journey 😂😂😂😂😂😂from the PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️Pearl of the Orient Seas !!!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Earl dominating the billiard around the world until cesar morales came and beat all champion including strickland ... And until now still no player were born that can replace efren skill and being a best player..respecful and magician of billiard for more than 3 decade and counting
Earl is close 2nd for me as the GOAT. SVB has many accolades yes and is tenacious. Well judge when he gets older and retires. But for now Efren is GOAT. Earl 9 ball still on top over any active players
When Earl was making those rolling cuts and the guys where cheering for him, for a second I though it was on repeat, because they looked almost animatronic.... The same sounds, the same motions, even their facial expressions where on point and in sync every single time 😂
Earl to me is the best shot maker of all time. Overall its Efren, but one thing I would love to see is to see them play together instead of against each other.
Efren is the goat in pool no doubt about that but Strickland is next to him and their greatness would not be complete without each other. Reyes will not be considered as the greatest without his matches with Strickland and the same thing with Earl, he will not be recognized as one of the greatest without his epic matches with Efren, they complement each other, if their is no Earl then Reyes will not be regarded as the greatest since no player specially in his prime could match his skill and billiard would not be as exciting, same thing with Earl, without Efren the competition would not be that challenging to him. Yes I am sad to see this two great players go and it would take decades or more that we will see another one like them. What is that? Shane Van Boening! get out of here, don't confuse talent with greatness, where Efren is when it comes to recognition Earl is right there next to him.

And Also, Efren n Earl are on their way for 6 decades of playing Pool,. Still they are Active ❤

Their rivalry brought billiard to greater heights. Thank you Pearl and Magician for giving us those great matches.
These 2 great players set the standards for new and upcoming billard players all over the world. Their rivalry is one for the books.

Earl with his unpleasant personality knows to give where the credit is due, im with him this time,

Earl is humble in his own way. Respect that guy. He is also a GOAT. He became a friend, Filipinos love him too
Ayus👍😊 Ganda ng content mo Sir👍🥰

both Legend, but only one is the 🐐 Goat.
pa-Shout out Lodi, thanks sa pag upload.
I think these two are the greatest, Efren is first, earl is 2nd
the greatest rivalry in billiards I have witnessed.❤
Yeah..
9 Ball Earl, but in competition Efron had his number in everything else more often than not.
Strickland probably the best 9 ball player of all time.. but all around and GOAT Efren Reyes...
Never stand a chance on EBR
Earl plays the best safe against Efren and Efren plays the best offense.
@@reynaldsanchez4527 yeahh im with you bro,, every hide of Earl counter offense from Bata ....... Therefore, they are too than other professionals for more than 80+ above championships they had, no one could ever questioned their abilities.
@@markyujoco1912 imagine the"Magician" choose 3rail or 4 rail kich shot rather than jumpshots or masse shot.
I think "Z shot" is the most popular.
woooooaaahhhhh heheh nice der strickland..... one of thw great pool players of all time. efrens also friend

He's a true gentleman. ❤
very classy for Strickland. a true ambassador and legend of the sport.

The real G.O.A.T of billiard. Efren "Bata" Reyes
The vending machine in the background proves this video's authenticity. 💯👍
coming from earl, he respect efren so much.
Earl is great but he is like a villain and efren is like a hero. 😂🤣 But no doubt earl is so great. But still the boy efren is at the top.
When Earl was making those rolling cuts and the guys where cheering for him, for a second I though it was on repeat, because they looked almost animatronic....
The same sounds, the same motions, even their facial expressions where on point and in sync every single time 😂
Earl the pearl respects efren a lot...🤩thanks for your humbleness earl your a great players of all time...dead even with efren🤩👍
oh yes.. the goat efren..🐐
That's the man.. he accepted who's the best player..
Reyes and Earl is like
Muhammad Ali and Frazier. In boxing.
strickland,,the toughest opponent of reyes!
Yes he is.. 😮
Earl to me is the best shot maker of all time. Overall its Efren, but one thing I would love to see is to see them play together instead of against each other.
They played in many games together
I would not wish for anything else but earl respect
Efren's war Experience is light years
Compare to SVB unremarkable Era
@Paquito, Exactly Sir, 😃👑🐐
RIVALRY 😍
Boxing billiards track and fields lahat yata Ng laro Yan mga spokening dollar ay mayayabang eh,,,
The goat is Efren Reyes is the best.!
I never heard shane said he's greater than efren!
khinaan n bata ay ang break,pero pg tapos nun,ala n mkkatalo nun ke bata
Reyes the goat 🐐
My 2 of the best of the best during their prime #1 Efren 2nd best Earl. They belong to the Mt Rushmore of pool. The question is who are the other 2.
@jexi, totally agree 👍 💯
The other 2 is Willie Mosconi and Mike Sigel
@@RowelanOnding-nd4xq If you asked Efren for the Mt Rushmore of Pool surely hr will inlcude Mike Siegel. Coz the player hr admired most is MS.
Efren " Bata " Reyes is better than Earl Strickland.
Why not put it in English? All you guys know how to speak English too anyways.
Efren " The Magician " Reyes is THE GOAT.
Efren is the goat in pool no doubt about that but Strickland is next to him and their greatness would not be complete without each other. Reyes will not be considered as the greatest without his matches with Strickland and the same thing with Earl, he will not be recognized as one of the greatest without his epic matches with Efren, they complement each other, if their is no Earl then Reyes will not be regarded as the greatest since no player specially in his prime could match his skill and billiard would not be as exciting, same thing with Earl, without Efren the competition would not be that challenging to him.

Earl was great, hes the joker of Efrens Batman
its on how you play the game
they need to put earl's brain in a command center main frame that launches icbm interceptors!
