2001 8-BALL: Francisco BUSTAMANTE vs Johnny ARCHER - 2001 ACCU-STATS 8-BALL INVITATIONAL CALIFORNIA

8-BALL - In 2001, Francisco “Django” BUSTAMANTE, 37, along with Johnny “The Scorpion” ARCHER, 32, were two of six players invited into the Accu-Stats 8-Ball Invitational in Burbank, California. Earlier that year, Bustamante defeated Earl Strickland for the World Pool Masters title. Archer, the 1999 U.S. Open 9-Ball champion, most recently won the BCA 9-Ball Open. Let’s see how these superstars handled the game of 8-Ball.
Bill Incardona and Tony Annigoni kept it lively in the booth.

Archer taking 9 hours to take the shot

[@billenright2788]

no doubt. and all that ' lint gardening' drives me nuts.

[@JeezVince]

As a beginner to intermediate player I AM THANKFUL FOR BILLIE'S COMMENTS AND EXPLANATIONS

[@lawtonfloorcovering728]

I am continually amazed at the plethora of things that folks in these Accu-Stats videos seem to find fault about and criticize. Everything from how the commentators speak, to how bad the camera angles are. And then there are idiosyncrasies of each player. Those critiques are endless. Listen, if one loves the game of pool then it would seem that these ‘smaller’ things would be far outweighed by the enjoyment and pleasure that watching the world’s greatest play brings. Seems like that if you love some thing or some one, then you learn over time to make allowances for those critiques knowing that the good and pleasure they bring you far outweighs those smaller things. I’m willing to watch a little ‘magic’ on the table, and endure a little ‘nose picking’ at the same time. I am grateful for these videos and all of the efforts that so many put into them.

This is back when people knew how to create a proper arena and atmosphere for the pool world. I like the arena space and how far the audience sits. This is how every pool arena should look.

[@hardtimesbbq5265]

Love the commentary especially on the last match! Nice to hear Tony's voice doing what he loved.

[@VIProfessor]

R.I.P. Tony A!

[@TheGreatOutdoors]

Great match. Big fan of both players!

[@danny_5283]

What a great match. Thank you Accu-Stats

[@leog9844]

How great was it. They both play 8 ball poorly…

[@hakkodjango76]

Hahahaaa baby Archer thats soooo good Django 👍👍😁😁

[@lestrowell3433]

What an absolute clinic on how to play 8 Ball fearlessly. I don't blame them for the way they played . I wouldn't want let my appointment come back to the table. If they're playing like that either.

[@CrazyHeartRanch]

johnny gotta be one of the hardest players to watch, the slowness and lint picking is old as the hills

[@alfredmercado7221]

You can do it Francisco bustamante

[@hardtimesbbq5265]

I'm seeing some of the comments about too much commentary. For me, as an aspiring pro, I love hearing the discussion on shot selection, methodology, shot process and pattern options, love the commentary! That last rack is what's great about 8 ball. Under-appreciated game. To me, it's a lot like straight pool, strategic and a lot more graceful patterns than 9 ball in my opinion. 9 ball is fun too, especially for safety play.

[@Rubster760]

What an entertaining ending. 🤩👍🔥.

[@edwardtumanguil1839]

it takes about half a day before Archer takes a damn shot hehehe

[@marcmalmberg7029]

I couldn't believe Johnny tried to run out the last rack after Bustamante rattled the 8. Billy's safety was the shot for sure.

[@AccuStats]

Absolutely!

[@kenstrain4366]

Give me ball in hand with the shot described and I win. With ball in hand you hit the 12 to separate it from the 8. The cue ball is behind the 12, and there is no shot on the 8. Busty kicks into the 8 or gives ball in hand. Now that the 8 and 12 are separated making the 12 is easy and gives easy runout for the remaining balls. All 4 of these guys are not well versed in 8 ball. Any APA SL7 would know this shot and win the game.

[@vcslimm2000]

Pat Fleming is the man! Thanks

[@MrJdsenior]

Has anyone EVER played on a table that needs as much stuff picked off of it as Johnny does in about every match? I guess it's just a nervous habit. Great match. Too bad Archer was having so much trouble with the break. Busty sure as heck WASN'T. Wow. I think he averaged over two balls and maybe even close to three.

[@paulweaver7073]

What is Johnny Archer sipping on in between games?

[@nickelassr1857]

It should be Johnny lint picker Archer instead of scorpion

[@ibelieveinself]

What Was In Archer’s Glass??? 😃

Great match, but couldn't stand it any longer and had to mute...

[@davidparker8475]

Billie C is tough to listen to for long.

[@TheMeltedMan]

Am I the only one who thinks Tony commentates on the weirdest things, like the ball return system or the 8-ball being a neutral ball?

[@debandmike3380]

That second game win for archer Totally discredits those commentators who run their mouths and keep forgetting that Johnny's the one at the table because he has the skills to make the shots.

[@Motion_Detected]

Had to watch on mute bc the commentators wouldn’t stfu….

That's what Bill does.

I'm curious what Johnny Archer is drinking? I can't imagine it's fruit juice in a tumbler.

[@der1narr]

a shotclock would have helped.

[@danhabu4731]

I think Johnny Archer is an awesome pool player and has always been a great sportsman at the table but, 5min to take a shot? That's just not right.

[@leonardorunas6092]

.

[@rabihavi8062]

without shotclock its boring

[@gabriel-contentwriter5578]

These commentators....unreal. The last game they are going on and on about how Johnny should intentionally foul and lock up the 8 to give ball in hand and then he can't lose. Anytime you give ball in hand, you surely can lose and are not the favorite! Come on....even if the 8 is frozen against another ball, Busti would have a plenthora of defensive options, including leaving the cue frozen behind the 8, forcing a kick.

[@JH-ji6cj]

Yes, had to also mute. William defines the term _insufferable_

[@RoeVenturesLLC]

8ball is supposed to be fun, but this was stressful to watch. 8ball is suppose to be a fun family game.
