Over the years people wanted Filler to mature but it's time to acknowledge that he's just that: a talented child who will never become a man with integrity. His "explanation" follow-up post about the boycott only shows that he doesn't even understand the issue with his statements.
@Krushard what happened? Last thing I heard about him is he cheated at the US OPEN, which doesn't surprise me cause he has no integrity and is a child in a little , very little man's body.
I know firsthand that josh is now more than frowned upon by many pro's and fans alike 😮 and not just those that really can afford to boycott certain tournaments!! At the end of the day, pressure from sponsors and the need and want to play and earn money- is not acceptable to me personally, just respect his decision whatever your stance. This will blow over, but he will for the foreseeable future have a target on his back 🎯

I think it's interesting how happy someone can be to win a tournament where he only had to face one other world-class player, Chang, the whole event because other players had the integrity to follow through with what they say. He should be ashamed, and it's not a good win. 👎
@@sinner2460 “Good players” are not even close to the same thing as a field comprised of “world-class” players. If he made a mistake, he should have either accepted the consequences with integrity or profusely apologized for his oversight. Neither of those things happened.

What is Filler so stoked about when he broke solidarity with all the other boycotting pool players and slithered his way into playing this event against as weak a field as you’ll find in a “worlds” event? Dudes a slimy slimy kid whose head can hardly fit through the door.
If your sponsors and the people that fly you places and pay you said they’d take it all away, you’d cave to, he had to play or he would’ve lost it all, winning the 75k was a bonus
@dupi7887 - Shane boycotted, he was the defending champion. FSR boycotted, he won the year before that. A lot of top names not there, you can't just say "only Fedor". Also, Fedor beat Josh the last time they played 8-ball, so there goes that theory, too.
@@dupi7887check your facts dude. Every top wnt player boycotted it, including 2022 champ FSR and SVB, the reigning champ and best 8 ball player on the planet. And that's from a Europe fan.
@@JC-rn5op svb signed up for the Texas Open in early June, long before the boycott. He didn't wanna travel that far, has nothing to do with the boycott. No predator sponsored top player boycotted!
@chili015 Shane didn't boycott, he signed up long time before the boykott to Texas Open, based on long distance travel. FSR and Fedor boycotted but are not sponsored by Predator, All top players sponsored by Predator played. And why wouldn't they? They play to live, and it's a good paid event.
@drewwatkinson6604 Quite different in this context compared to everyday decisions. It's really shitty from them, and everyone knows it, including themselves. Not really necessary to say more about it.
@drewwatkinson6604 it's a big difference. Filler and Ouschan showed they are not people of their words, and they lost a lot of respect with this in the sport. Rightfully so.
I always thought Josh got unfair criticism. He has some antics but no worse than a lot of players. But now in the space of a month, amazed he went back on his word to play this event, especially after getting caught cheating in the US Open. What does he expect people to think of him? And I don't believe he doesn't care. It's weird, maybe he's got a massive mortgage to pay or something, but he's lost a lot of respect now.
Not a fan of Josh anymore bc of this only also. He doesn't cheat and isn't disrespectful. He isnt arrogant, he's the best in the world.. Playing and winning this event after his statement is just disgusting.
Yeah, I agree he was never as arrogant as people made out, and I didn't think he was a cheat but if you find the 'Joshua Filler 6 ball' UA-cam video it's ugly viewing. Which is why I was amazed he then made this lame a.f. decision to play this event after his statement. Giving the haters exactly what they wanted but even Europe fans like me who used to stick up for him are pretty disgusted now too. I think the decision will be remembered more than the devalued title, so was it worth it? Needs to look at SVB for a lesson in integrity, I'm afraid.
It should be the fans boycotting these events if the WPA is not stopping their regional governing bodies from banning players. Predator should be putting pressure on the WPA to allow these players to play in their events. I will not be buying anything else from Predator if this continues. I personally didn’t watch it besides the last couple of minutes since the field was not the best of the best. The players shouldn’t have to take such a financial hit by not playing. Going back on your word is not a good look when you end up winning the title in a field that would have been stronger if everyone else was there.

Joshua deserves the win, he is superior in game play, cue ball positioning and others, his only weakness was the break. We admires his super skills and competence as pool athletes. He is a pro, he is not your buddy to please your taste, so be fair no need to critize based on personal likes
So, you're allowed to give your opinions about how great he is, but other people aren't allowed to give their opinions if they criticise him?? Whatever
As I’m still watching the video, but you do know Josh filler is known for having a loose cue ball. So for your to say he’s superior in cue ball positioning is a bunch of bs lol. Way better cue ball positioners out there. He’s a superior ball maker
@@Duffyyy94 I didn’t watch the whole thing. Josh has a more loose cue ball than most pros because he knows his ball pocketing is so good. Yes he can place the cue ball where he wants but he gets lazy a lot with positioning. He’s still the best player in the world

@@WildBill312 I agree, nobody's perfect: that's what the apology would be for. Albin apologized, and no one is talking about him having integrity issues.

It has always seemed that, even in the pool halls, gossip whining and complaining are very common around a pool table!!! Can anyone reading this that may be guilty of this at times please consider contributing to the advancement of the game with using some integrity and class if you have to say something constructive and maybe throw in somethings that were done well.

The balls are racked randomly by design, there is no stripe - solid order.

有一個疑問，為什麼台灣隊大部分衝球都在右邊衝，很明顯的效果沒有比在中間衝球來的好，再說如果一個位子已經衝不進去了，何不換中間衝看看，這是我個人見解，台灣隊雖然這次已經打的很好了，但只有衝球讓我很難理解？
也恭喜許睿安拿下亞軍🎉👍
一切都是選手個人習慣
因為前幾場放側邊衝的效果明顯比中間衝好
