Thank you to Accustats. For the longest time, your mail-order service was the only way to witness billiard matches outside of trick shot exhibitions. And this is one of THE GREAT matches.
An absolutely brilliant articulate accurate assessment of Grady’s mannerisms. Haha. Couldn’t agree more. I always enjoy hearing his commentary. What a shame we all gotta go at some point. So grateful to Pat for recording and uploading all of these old matches.
Archer, a last table of great champion as it is. It was very difficult to recover from the comeback of the magician ... Beautiful historical matches. Thanks!
I enjoyed this match and being able to see what the announcers looked like with Johnny at the end!

We had a one-pocket tournament at College billiards, someone asked Grady to watch the hit. He's like," I'd rather not, I mean what do I get out of it? Nothing but grief"...
Johnny Archer came to the Villages in Fla. and the gave out 3 tickets for $20 each to play him one game of 9-ball. He was a pure gentleman, and said I will rack them for you and let you break. I broke and made a ball on the break and then ran 5 more. I didn't have a great shot so I played him safe, he tried to play me safe and I got out. The next day Phil Diangelo called me and said, I know you don't buy the newspaper but you better get one today, your picture is on the front page of the Daily News, with the caption-Ron Cerelli (The Legend) gets out and beats Johnny Archer. wow, what a fabulous experience. Thank you Johnny for being such a gentleman.
Thank You PAT, I'm amazed at the digital remastering work you did with this old video, WOW. What a Gift, Treat, Thank You, Mr. Hall of Famer. Yes Folks, Pat is a Great Player Besides.
This was the time Efren began having major shoulder issues, and he never mentioned it to anyone. He was playing through pain here. Only a few years later it prevented him from elevating the rear of his cue for masse' shots.
I feel like the matches from back then are much better compared to the recent ones. I don't know, it could be just a matter of preference. Thank you Accustats!
"A lot of guys would kill for these guy's C game, and when their A game is in evidence, well it's something quite spectacular." And Thanks to James Cameron for the cinematography, we're not used to this in the adolescence of the 2000s.
Commentator ALMOST has the "Herbert the perve$t" whistle going on lol. I just kept hearing him say "I got a pool table in my basement" in Herbert's voice! 🤣 Herbert's older deeper voiced brother Gerbert.
If the old guy is Grady, then he called the match correctly right from the start. Efren just couldn´t match Archer in the break - the most important shot in pool - and it ended up costing him.
Dear accu stats, bring entertaining commentators such as billy, danny and mike sigel. I respect mark wilson and jack but i don't want to listen for analysis every single shot. We need jokes, stories and arguing. This what makes long match pool fun to watch.
Efren is my no 1 favorite but i admire archer too i think archer is one of efren toughest opponent and i like archer attitude and dedication to the game he has the important quality of a brilliant and awsome pool player
@@josephlee4337 nope earls attitude when things dont go he's way is one of the reason why earl is not the toughest opponent even jango said archer they worried about no earl bcuz they know how to handle earl and archer is more professional than earl..
Commentators non stop gibberish. Talk for 2 minutes with no pauses about how to play the shot, the balls, stick, the covering, humidity, the room, a history of the player, how they shoot, their weakness, strengths... then player plays a totally different way.. "Or they could do that.."
well they werent too far off i can tell you that. They both were great players and they were doing their jobs. efren and Johnny both would acknowledge that they did great commentating. You guys are just soft nowadays
Johnny Archer was one of the biggest money players out there, icecold killer....won millions. But 10-10 against the GOAT can make any man shake his hands.
You are right on target. Did you see Archer's demeanor and speed by which he moved around that table for every shot?? He was literally possessed with Victory over Efren. No smiling or Any distractions....just pure "ice cold killer" instinct over the goat.
Im sorry. That shot at 7:00 might be some of the most impressive pool ive seen. Please keep in mind Im completely new and green to this sport. But holy shit
@@shotsfired2188 you just said you are completely new and green to this sport. The hit on the ball via one rail was intentional. The second hit, double kiss and pot in the side pocket was completely unintentional. You can believe that.
I only "just said" that over 90 days ago but you got it lil bro. Also, the commentators said it was some luck involved but he clearly calculated what he was doing. At the end of the day, i respected your opinion but im sure you just wanna be right 😂. Have a good day @MCFoultier
In 2011 Phil DeAngelo put a big expo on in the Villages where I lived. When the expo was over Phil sold 3 tickets for $20 each to play Johnny Archer one game of 9-ball. 2 guys went up and lost and Phil said ticker # 513. I gasped cause I had that ticket. Phil said Johnny we know you are in the world hall of fame and you are a legend, but we have a legend here in the Villages and he is Ron Cerelli The Legend, so Johnny said you can break Ron. I did and made a ball on the break, then proceeded to make 5 more. I had long rail shot from the front rail to the back rail. There were about 200 people in the bleachers and I almost tried the shot but I thought , there are a lot of my students in the audience so I played safe. Johnny tried to play me safe back, but he didn't and I got out. He was such a gentleman, congratulated me, wow was I shaking. The next day the Daily Sun newspaper had my picture on the cover and it said The Legend beats a legend. I will never forget how great I felt.-Ron Cerelli The Legend
I came here to watch two great players shoot a game. Instead we actually have 3 games to further confuse and confound. We have Billy's game, and Grady's game, and we get to hear their endless kibitzing and bickering instead of respecting the video audience who tuned in to enjoy the ONE game that is advertised. Why not ERASE the sound track and all their bullshit and just have one able person commentate on what Efren and Johnny are DOING...Not what the commentator thinks they SHOULD be doing...
He cleans up here in Knoxville TN once a year to play in our annual Big Boy Tournament at Billiards and Brews next one is Nov 6 can't wait to watch him play again and all the side bets going on
Efren Reyes is just that good. Sometimes he will play not perfect because he doesn't want to embarrass his opponents and give them a chance to win. Perfect legend
Can someone explain to my why, in the first game of the video, Archer's first shot after the break wasn't a scratch? He hut the cue like 3 inches and didn't hit a rail or anything.
Efren turned out to be the greatest pool player of all time. Somehow he managed it without having the strongest break in the world. So I guess the commentator was talking out of his ass. The other commentator, responding to his professorial colleague, rightly remarked at one point that "I'm not qualified to be Efren's coach."
Do you even know who the commentator is? Id figure out who they are before you make a judgment. This is Grady Matthews and Billy Incardona. Look em up...
@@TerryWilsonModels I'm only considering the content of what was said in relation to certain facts. As already stated, Efren turned out to be the greatest ever without the strongest break. That goes against the drift (or logic) of what the professor said. I don't care who this professor is; that's irrelevant. All that's relevant here is the professor's inaccuracy, which requires correction. Accomplished people are not infallible. Just because they're accomplished, as this professor is, it doesn't mean we should give them a pass for the faulty things they do or say.
@@yacovmitchenko1490 and I’m commenting on your complete lack of respect. You can say someone is wrong without being condescending and insulting. He did turn out to be wrong. But it’s opinion not fact.
@@TerryWilsonModels I apologize for that. I know I need to curb that tendency. In part, I reacted that way because he seemed to be condescending. Which rubbed me the wrong way. But that's ironic because I can be that way too.
With all due respect, I believe he did double-kiss the 2, and he maybe even played it that way. I often play that type of double kiss shot when playing safety as well as playing the ball.
@@AccuStats Excuse me but I always thought a "double-kiss" is where the cue ball hit the object ball TWICE.... knock, knock. Maybe double-kiss means something other than the double tap by the cue ball and I don't know any better. I watched the replay, by clicking 05:27 multiple times, and still saw absolutely no double-kiss. Please tell me how I am wrong. I know nothing is wrong with my eye sight. Thanks!
Dude are you drunk ? There is literally no possible way he can bank that ball into the corner without double kissing it. The angle literally does not exist lmfao.
i cant watch hopkins stroke. I think johnny was fun to watch back then. You started to see him start to pick lint and stuff but he still shot pretty fast. Archer didnt get slow until later on in his career
6:34. Grady : “I don’t like it when Efren scratches his head. He does something crazy and executes perfectly.” Bill E.: “I like it when he scratches his head.”... Efren kicks the 3-ball... and then that happened! WTF LMAO
If Efren is playing you know one of the commentators is going to complain about his “lack of break power”. He has finesse and doesn’t need power all the time!
Grady has a point, the break is very important for acquiring and maintaining advantage. Even if one has such a finesse like The Magician, one can get easily behind a powerful breaker like Archer or Strickland.
The announcer needs to quit talking about Efern is his break. We get it we understand. I turn down the sound For a half an hour,I came back and he was still talking about his break, driving me crazy.
Watching matches from many different years of the magicians career and it seems to be his weak point of the game to many commentators. Fanboys never like it.🤷
then cory deuel comes along and shatters everything we thought we knew about breaking. i really didn't like the rule change just because of him. he took the time and had the intelligence to figure out the break and he got penalized for it. anybody else could do the same thing so why change the rules?
im so grateful for these remasters. Thanks a lot accu stats
Our pleasure!

That two rail kick shot blew Johnny's mind! Watch the match and you'll see what I'm talking about,
When did Archer stop playing at this pace. Love to see his older matches. He trusts is instincts and executes.
I need Archer at my wedding so he can help pick off all the lint from my groomsmen’s jackets

This commentating is almost better than the match
Grady Mathews is what it would sound like if William Faulkner had gone into billiards instead of writing.
So, players rack for each other sometimes in these matches?
yea expecially in earlier matches or non tv table matches
I don't think Grady thinks that Efren can win with a break like that lol
Grady was right about the importance of the break... ESPECIALLY on the last rack.
Efren is a tenacious player. Never count him out. Remember, he was down 17, SEVENTEEN, games playing in the Color of Money against Strickland.
Im sorry. That shot at 7:00 might be some of the most impressive pool ive seen. Please keep in mind Im completely new and green to this sport. But holy shit

This is the first time I've seen real ball colours in a us video.
At 1:13:08 why is archer shooting twice when he didn't pocket anything? I have watched it multiple times and can't figure out what I'm missing.....
Push out
I had to look up what that is and have learned something new. Thank you so much for the reply I appreciate it.
Good match
Grady Matthews commentary is always great... Billy I. normally annoys me but he wasn't too bad this match.
billy’s my favorite lol
then cory deuel comes along and shatters everything we thought we knew about breaking. i really didn't like the rule change just because of him. he took the time and had the intelligence to figure out the break and he got penalized for it. anybody else could do the same thing so why change the rules?
i just want to hear this dude say words with S
Efren's actions are very humble
