[@shak3166]

Two most entertaining players you will ever see.

[@Billdick360]

Yeah, Drago's up there with O'Sullivan! Lol

[@Billdick360]

You can't really compare them to be fare!

It’s great to hear Ted Lowe again…legend! 😊😊😊

[@chrisevans4123]

The natural talent in this match up is off the chart,.... masters of their craft

[@andrefilipe147]

Been waiting for this for so long... If you have more frames please upload them. Many thanks for this, the two fastest players ever, Thepchaiya also up there.

[@kittookuriosity7692]

Thepchiya became fastest to loose ...still a great talent

[@ThirstyHyena]

Thanks for the uploads!

[@felipecantalice452]

It’s so satisfying watch tony drago play 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@mooremoneymakin]

"I'm sure you'll agree that play like this is better without commentary" - So true! Commentary is only needed to fill in the gaps of slow play...

[@leprechaun7667]

Fantastic to watch these Two Playing soooo Freely. It really is beautiful to watch!! ❤️🇮🇪

[@cobra8676]

The referee quit the next day because he was shattered 😲

[@SURGASURGE12]

The speed in which these two play is ridiculous. Probably averaging 10 seconds shot time.

[@khansahib7110]

Less than that

[@stephensiler3854]

Jan was RUNNING for these breaks. What a great ref to know that the most important thing was to not interrupt the flow instead of getting into the perfect position every time. Ronnie could never replicate his fastest clearance with today's referees. They are robots instead of following the flow of the game.

[@masterxyr]

oh look, a young Jan Verhaas!

[@JohnDoe-mf1jy]

Greatest player of all time

[@charlesscottkelly]

Tony realized there other fast players about.

[@KS-kb4zt]

Judge such young....

[@djordjegranolic3588]

Thing of beauty

[@markita64]

Have to Say, this was the fastest game ever

[@bazsully4205]

Who remembers watching the 1984 hoffmeister world doubles. Alex and Jimmy as a duo what a team 😎👍🎱

[@askbob]

Tony had a great cueball for how quick he was

[@LFCliid]

It’s a shame the first 5 minutes of the match weren’t captured on this video. Would have been an enjoyable 5 frames to watch.

[@Raj-ul9my]

These two in their primes playing this fast and this entertaining would have been serious serious money, they could pack out the 02 arena.

[@Taylor___]

Both players just so fast it's great. Tony Drago sounds like a mafia name ha! Coolest name

[@becksy539]

Drago would have been world championship multiple times if he had concentration

[@dalenewton9697]

6:19 - Drago's shot time is less than 1 SECOND. The little rollback as it came to a stop had hardly finished when he took the shot.

[@TheJohnCooperShow]

Ted Lowe - the GOAT commentator

[@MarkSmith-tp6zc]

Leave it out guv

[@TheJohnCooperShow]

he is though@@MarkSmith-tp6zc

[@keinKlarname]

Was the World Champs in 1996 in Shoot-Out modus?

[@keironstoneman6938]

This has to be the quickest match in history. The two fastest players ever.

[@Train_Sounds]

The referee Jan Verhaas so young 🙈

[@SnookerFan-kl1jj]

Ronnie schooled Drago in this one making back to back centuries and a glut of other big breaks in his way to an easy win.

[@ezekiel763]

Ronnie: No I’m faster! Drago: No I’m faster!

[@MarkSmith-tp6zc]

Cracking s’tuph

[@beachlife2968]

All about the cue action mate.

[@Billdick360]

Amazing how much better Ronnie's got in his middle age!

[@henryj8363]

His game has declined but he looks better because his head is screwed on.If he had his mentality now back then in the 90s nobody would have been able to beat him

[@SinsOfLiberty786]

@@henryj8363 Quicker back swing, hardly any pause, most times on autopilot... flow. I noticed a change in his back swing in the 03 season, & a few yrs later the feathering style also changed. Ronnie had the most unique style of feathering pre 03. He'd feather further out from the cue ball & then feather in closer as he's about to take the shot. For me, pre 03 was the best Ronnie

[@tonybarfridge4369]

Tony has the fastest century break of 3 minutes; Ronnie has the fastest maximum of 5:20

[@atthesametime2689]

Tony could have had this world championship shifted to his pub really.

[@spassawarakse8557]

The referee is Jan Verhaas ??

[@DamosChannel]

Yes.

[@pduhovic6184]

Referee had to take a month off after this match

[@191246mann1]

fast is ok until you miss and then people say you would have got it had you not tried to be flash.

[@llleedman420]

Tony that’s insane but ronnie…so young

[@AbdulKhan-ve4hx]

Vintage Ronnie

[@NoName-eo2mv]

That missed pink Tony’s career in a nutshell, brilliance followed by dross

[@njclondon2009]

better than your career.

[@NoName-eo2mv]

Yeah thanks for that

[@seanscanlon9067]

On certain shots he tends to have this casual almost flicking cue action where he moves his bridge hand a fraction after playing the shot, but on an odd occasion he gets the timing slightly wrong and it throws the cue ball slightly offline. He can get away with the margin of error on a pool table with the bigger pockets but not so much with a snooker table's tighter ones.

[@stefanodepascalis1377]

Is the Ref Jan Verhaas?

[@DamosChannel]

Yes

[@Billdick360]

Ronnie's a better player in his old age! 😷

[@dmc5506]

Out with the tornado and in with the rocket

[@christiano8088]

Flippin typical, great counter attack from drago, but to.miss the simplest pink, he could have won so much more but just gets too excited.

[@charlesscottkelly]

Its lesson Tony

[@danielkirkby3601]

The days when yan put on an English accent

[@bigscrounger]

Drago makes ROS seem slow!!

[@ankurmaurya2355]

I think ros is fast

[@plaistowjames6792]

Tony realised there's other fat players about.

[@Admin-vo9nh]

Очень быстро

[@johnkraft6053]

And , here These guys are taking two seconds to shoot on a 12‘ x 6‘ table with tiny pockets, and here I am taking a whole minute to decide what shot I’m going to play in freaking nine ball pool. Never felt more humbled in my life 🫥
