Pretty Boy Floyd really was a fantastic commentator. I love watching these older videos . Great audio, very nice visual. Thnx Ray. Keep em coming!!
Guy comments great on the games
Thank you for this video, I love watching Efren old matches
Love watching this old clippings, great audio and clear picture.Thanks to the uploader..
At 18:10 I'm not sure what the commentator was thinking. I'm an average pool player who knew right away how hard the ball would have to be hit to get position on the next ball. Effron did not leave him with an easy shot.
What a treat! Reyes, Varner and Jimmy "Pretty Boy Floyd" Mataya commentating. Doesn't get any better than that.
Never did really care to much for Mataya. Ego was always greater than his ability.
@@cliffvansickle24 : I like his commentating, dont know about tournament skills. Saw a few of his pool shark vids. He probably is the one who coined Efren as the magician.
Nick, in my opinion, was always overrated.
@@cliffvansickle24 : Got anything nice to say about anybody?
From what I've read, Efren was at the peak of his game in the 1970s. Unbelievable after seeing what he can do in '92.
*Right up to the present time, Efren has had the longest period of peak skills of any player in the 170-year history of professional billiards* .
These videos are priceless and really show how Efren was not just a great pool player but also had a superior sportsman's mentality. He doesn't seem to choke or get flustered much, and he plays the correct shot, even when it seems unusual or difficult.
TexasRobert1 He's a genuine genius, TR, and not only in cue sports, but at chess and countless other fields. And a truly *humble* genius -- which is equally rare throughout world history.
If Efren is in the Wild West, I'll cal him Wyatt Earp of Pro Billards. Efern's nerve is Exceptional. That's why I hate watchng when he'sw playng against Retarded new comers. Efren is Bored with young genrations playing aganst him and are too scared to take a shot. They seemed to be thinking the whole day and takes poor shots. Not worthy to be maestro's opponet
That is a great assessment!
Thank You Ray,,,,,,,
Jimmy Mataya walked around the table , intensely studying the layout ,....saying to himself out loud , " I"m a bad man , I""m a bad man from Detroit ".....over and over. 😄😄😄
Even then he was channeling his future mentor Rudolph Wanderone's purposeful, unending chatter. Wanderone had shrewdly adopted the persona of "Minnesota Fats" immediately after 1961's "Hustler" movie hit. Wanderone thereby profitably morphed past his original moniker of "New York Fats". Mataya and Wanderone eventually spent several years as a successful road-player team hustling local shortstops and their inept backers all over the country.
Awesome!!! There was color TV in 1992!!!
Thank you for another great video
Man. What a good commentator
very nice video i enjoy a lot keep going
Is this the earliest video footage there is of a player(Davenport) using a glove?
Wow. Do you hear them announcers calling Efren Reyes the Greatest Player that ever lived. And this was back in 1992
The *ever lived* part is easily explained -- they were all too young to have seen -- as I did -- plenty of *Willie Mosconi's* matches in-person and he was the closest to a flawless automaton that *_anyone has ever seen_* before or since -- got himself in trouble less often than anyone in pool history and there wasn't a single stroking or positional technique absent in his arsenal of pool skills.
@@raycarltonbilliards5798 he arrived in the states 1985 and this was in 1992 . What has Efren accomplished in those years?
*After arriving he played hundreds of challenge matches using the pseudonym "Cesar Morales" and cleaned out the best of the best in about nine different states -- winning more than $80,000.* _All of his hustler opponents and their backers went broke every time._ He was virtually unbeatable and his real name and country of origin eventually emerged (he was always -- fatally -- presumed by opposing gamblers to be a visiting player from south of the Texas border and seemingly very lucky when made impossible shots at just the right moment). *Plus, he did all of this between !985 thru '92:*
1992 International Nine-Ball Classic
1992 World Nine-Ball Open (Tokyo)
1990 World Cup (Taipei)
1988 PBA McDermott Masters Nine-Ball
1986 Sands Regency Nine-Ball Championship
1985 Sands Regency Nine-Ball Championship
1985 Red's Nine-Ball Open
1985 Tar Heel Open
1985 Willard's Open
1985 Chicago Billiard Cafe Open
@@raycarltonbilliards5798 Wow. And that was just 1985 - 1992. I guess in 1991 he was absent, because of the Gulf war. He stayed in The Philippines?
I think he is the best ever because he is great at almost every game nine ball ten ball one pocket 3 cushion he's definitely the greatest all around player of all time
modesto native, good work bulldog
Lol!! At 18:10 he wonders why Efren pushed to that spot.... C'mon now Floyd, we both know how smart Efren is at this game, and its simple reverse Psychology!! Efren knew that Nick would never give it back to him. But he also knew that Nick would ruminate why Efren would push there. By the time Nick took that shot, he was still unsure of Efrens choice of push location. Plus, the 3 ball was big where it lay at that moment... A smart pool player Nick was, but no match to the likes of Efrens brilliance!!!!
the snowdawg Excellent perception as usual, Snow. Experience-based comments like yours add greatly to both the instructive and entertainment value of these "resurrected" classics for all viewers at any skill level. And not least, they personally make the restoration and uploading effort very worthwhile.
ray carlton Thank you Ray. It takes one to know one!! But man, I LOVE watching Mr. Reyes!!
Xanh IDK man, that's possible, but debatable.
+Xanh there's no debate about it Efren meant to push at that spot. Try to recreate the shot yourself on a 9 foot table at that distance from cueball to 2 ball while also the 2 ball frozen to the rail on the pool table. Keep in mind your also have to draw your cueball for a shot on the 3 ball on the other side of the table. The shot on a scale from 1 to 10 is a 20, you would need to hit that shot perfectly..... At the speed Nick needed to hit that shot while also putting reverse english on the cueball greatly diminished the accuracy of the shot. Any good pool player knows that hitting a cueball a that speed with the object ball being froze on the rail there's a good chance the ball will rattle out the pocket. Which is what happened to Nick, Efren knew this....
If anyone is overthinking it. It's u
Can't believe this was 36 years ago already. Remember this like it was yesterday.
+S. SH Have another cold one. I assume that you're a retro-messaging pool player living in the year 2028 and reflecting on an event that occurred 36 years ago from your perspective. Those of us presently living in 2016 remember a 1992 event as 24 years ago. Your post reassures us that the planet at least still exists in 2028. It is likely that your world's androids are barred from entering national pool championships and one of The Donald's offspring are no doubt battling in your 2028 primaries as his/her 81 year-old father's proxy candidate.:)
lol Thanks for the great explanation of my error, Ray haha. Yep 24 years ago. It was late and I was tired. I competed for part of the Camel Tour when that was around and played in 3 IPT events, before that eventually crumbled. Watching these videos brings back memories of me aspiring to play on a tour. Thank you for these uploads. I think they're fantastic!
omg i laughed so hard just now :P
Not as hard as I did though!
When I was a kid I remember when Jimmy Mataya was counting his bankroll in the backroom of the Jointed Cue Billiards in Sacto. ,....he had a fistful of Benjamins and then came across a twenty , " He said what is this doing here ???"..he ripped up the twenty and threw it on the ground!
My friends waited until the game was over , scooped up the shreds of the twenty and scotch taped it back together. 😄😄😄
Lol I would have done the same thing
Thank you for the great vedio of my kabayan efren.... God bles America
Joel Brenzuela And I thank *you* even more, Joel for your very sincere and touching comment of appreciation, so timely for our 4th of July holiday which you clearly know about. I'm really glad you're enjoying the video.
+ray carlton thanks carlton for this old video of my idol efren.
sir. you nailed it! thats the reason why efren push the ball into that rail because he knew that was a critical shot and maybe.. he knew that that was varners weak shot.
Good Tagalog & English article -- Efren's reasons for possibly retiring: tinyurl.com/ydfszdpf
How you didn't get more comintator work was our loss Pretty Boy.
18:10- "He has left Varner a very easy shot."
That commentator must have some skill set.
Jimmy Mataya (nicknamed "Pretty Boy Floyd) started shooting pool at age 11. Within a few years was playing exhibitions with Willie Mosconi. He then won three consecutive Michigan State Championships in 1966, 1967 and 1968. At 21, he won the 1971 World 9-Ball Championships and went on in 1972 to win a World All Around Championship, becoming the youngest player in the history of the game to win back to back world titles. A member of the Michigan State Sports Hall of Fame.
@@raycarltonbilliards5798 Sorry, I didn't know that that was Mataya commentating. But I'm surprised that even he would call that a "very easy shot", considering the leave requirements.
@@neuvocastezero1838 It just means he would have been baited too.
was going to say the same thing, and you're right. Even at that level that rail lay at that particular angle and distance ain't any hanger. Pretty Boy Floyd was a hustler though, tends to tell the layman ~something else.
ya gotta pity anyone playing efren to a degree , not only do you got to outplay him in every area , but you got to slow him down with safeties which usually efren is gonna win anyway , he plays a masterful head game safety wise . BUT DOES ANYONE KNOW WHO MADE THE FINALS HERE AND THE OUTCOME ?

Been here all the while, along with 39 others.
when efren pocketed the one ball and scratched, that one ball does'nt have to be put back on the table, unless its the nine ball.
Thats exactly what i was thinking
37:12, typical efren =)
Is this an 8ft table?
9ft
11:50 "My guess is he missed that shot." Really? You think Efren Reyes missed an easy shot into the side pocket by almost two full diamonds?
Too busy jabbering to look at the shot. Clearly Efren was not shooting for the side pocket
13:40. Pulling the one back out? Tournament rule?
