Earl Strickland and Tony Drago clash in the 2001 World Pool Championship in a moment for the ages

Tony Drago is probs one of the most underrated people in cue sports - his ability to perform at high speed is unreal. Most people don't realise that he holds the record for the fastest ever century in Snooker at 3 mins and 33 secs. Ronnie has had over 1,000 and none of them were as fast as that. Unreal talent. Underperformer I know. Won European masters Pool tournament or something though. Great player

[@justsomeguy6474]

Ronnie has a 5:17 147 game. So there's that.

[@chakko007]

@@justsomeguy6474 Drago had the fastest century, not maximum break.

@@chakko007 You didn't comprehend what I said.

[@chakko007]

@@justsomeguy6474 You obviously didn't comprehend what this video is about. It's about the fastest century, not the fastest maximum.

[@richardjames1405]

I find it hilarious that you talk about snooker when they are playing 9 ball.

[@sandyostroumoff405]

Incredible how they play so fast

[@RichardsWorld]

if Earl is playing Tony, you know it's going to be a quick match 😀 These guys need to race to at least 11.

[@adam2times443]

Legends of speed play. This is the way pool should be played in my opinion

[@markwhewell4265]

I can’t stand watching Archer play it’s like watching paint dry

[@nickelassr1857]

Easy to watch when players play at the speed

[@justsomeguy6474]

20 minute video....must have been a race to 21 and gone hill/hill.

[@robinkhoury5579]

[@rogerscottcathey]

Michela Tabb wouldn't have missed the foul in the nine by that jump shot . . . Not that it matters

[@pseudonayme7717]

Like watching 3D pool without 3D glasses😛

[@EdgarByo]

Juegazo!

[@missoummohamed]

wow Strickland back, can't wait to see this Legend.

[@EdgarByo]

DAMMITT EARL!

[@louisbuzzi869]

Efren Reyes is my favorite player.

[@doganay5250]

18:28 Earl cheats the poket more than my ex girlfriend cheated on me

[@lfcmonkeyyyman6229]

06:14 I can guarantee of Tony Drago had fouled in this jump shot, he'd have called the foul on himself, and had he not, then Strickland would have spotted it from his chair... bit of course, Strickland isn't gentlemanly or sporting when it comes to the game.. win at all costs, be it play fair, cheat, table antics, antics with audience.. Talented player, but I dislike his attitude

[@tobymccarthy3630]

Does no one see the foul as Earl jumps the ball in the 3rd rack?

[@doraemon402]

I'm sure Earl did

[@jlobiafra]

Yes but luckily for Tony the cue ball landed perfectly for the four to get to the five.

[@wesleysnipes1873]

Wtf Earl

[@yankorusev]

Would love to see Tony back in the Mosconi. He is such a talent.

[@DashDrones]

Tony Drago holds his breath for the full duration of his turn, that's why he has to shoot so fast.. 😁 Legend 👍

[@kppatel2480]

By the time Earl re-racks the balls...Tony already left the building!

[@hansibuchem7819]

Earls Cuestick is one of the best looking production Cues for me.

[@pkrbrad]

This has the most advertising I have ever seen on KZbin. 20 minute video with how many adds?

[@blueak3339]

I didn’t get any ads

[@sandyostroumoff405]

No extensions are called too which is even more impressive

[@sandyostroumoff405]

@Maiahi oh yeah true, still they play so fast it’s nice, albin vs david yesterday was a good game but so slow

[@dontwantahandle801]

Man look at the massive pockets they used to use in 2001.

Was Steve Davis drunk?

"If you asked Tony Drago to make an instant coffee in a microwave, he'd go back in time!"

[@jonnycarroll6676]

Love gunslinger attitude.

[@greg4254]

Earl... Earl... Earl...

[@joulupukki1607]

It rly seemd like earl didnt even wanna be there it was like he was practicin or something and made a lot of shots harder than needed

[@joulupukki1607]

@@RazaXML true earls biggest enemy is himself he many times start to act up even if he is winning the match.. the time he broke his cue on floor he was winning 6-2 in race to 7😂

[@justsomeguy6474]

Earl still doesn't know he lost this match.
