I hope people understand how incredible Efren is to not only win this match but to do it at age 68 . Living legend

[@TheMagicalTortoise]

He has 78 by the time Filler's analysis of every shot was undertaken

[@enricokohler475]

great to see Efren kicking ass in 2023 - the GOAT!

[@JohnnyButtercuts]

I think I have seen almost every Efren video available on youtube and I still am not bored watching him play. By far my favorite player and he can still compete with these young guys

[@skipper9400]

I am now 76, and have seen them all, from Willie to Fats, and Effren is the best the game has ever had, bar NONE........OnWard.......

[@charlesfair1582]

Skipper; I am 79, and i have seen most of them also, right up to Leonard “ Bugs” Rucker ,and Grady “The Professor “ Matthews(who was a combination of “ Fats” and Mosconi.Saw “The DECON” Crane, Sadly missed seeing Eddie Taylor and “Wimpy “Lassiter. But all were Great and offered unforgettable moments to Pool; and me. I’m sure there Will continue to be new names to be added most rapidly now that pool has expanded,No; Exploded over the globe. LOVE POOL‼️‼️‼️. adios

[@ESLMiguel]

Some of the best one-pocket commentary in existence. Educational, respectful, and entertaining. Doesn't get much better than this.

[@snap-off5383]

If I recall correctly the host, Scott "The Freezer" Frost beat Ronnie "The Rocket" O'Sullivan in straight pool on Ronnie's "takes on america" style video.

[@arnelromero1566]

​@@snap-off5383❤qpaaqaqpqaaaa❤❤❤❤a❤4

[@frederiquerijsdijk]

Yeah Frost is really good!

[@asmith8898]

​@@snap-off5383he also lost to Efren

[@scottfrost8956]

My apologies guys & gals I’ve been fairly sick this week so my thoughts and speech aren’t 100% by any means. Did my best

[@saanishakil4908]

You did a great job. Thoroughly enjoyed this one 👍

[@NealFosterHD]

You did great explaining things Scott, thanks. I'd like to see some more one pocket if you are up for it please 😀

[@bigredbeanie3310]

Your commentary at the Hanoi open was as good if not better than Jeremy Jones

[@billysikes1374]

You did great, You and Jeremy are the best today, I like Earl in the booth too, Really miss Grady though

[@GrahamFos]

A little backup commentary by a second chair would’ve leveled off better than flying solo in the booth. Well done tho

[@paulogaviola5522]

Still got it, what a match. And the commentary made the watch so much better

[@bob5365]

The level that both of these guys play at is off the charts. Absolutely great to watch.

[@HUKIT.]

I don’t play one pocket but listening to Scott’s commentary was very interesting.

[@luiscmyk0824]

We need more Scott Frost commentary!

[@tonym2513]

We really don’t

[@Duffyyy94]

ur parents really dont love you huh?@@tonym2513

[@MrGuitar-gn5ri]

Will not be surprised if this will reach over 100,000 views. Efren Reyes is a crowd pleaser wherever he plays. A joy to watch…

[@chriscripplercruz1833]

Well 4 months later it's still going strong with over 400k views

[@kpgirl.4622]

Half a million views now!

[@egroegartfart]

Wow, some of the best commentary ive ever heard scott. Thank you. The way you explained shots and talked qbout what would be a good shot and what they should do with the cue ball just excellent. Thank you.

[@scottfrost8956]

Thanks! 💙

[@Ritzenschieber]

100% agree, good Job Scott ;-)

[@archico01]

Efren still taking these kids to school.😂

[@yvansflorian8944]

Great Job Scott whenever you are in NEW YORK LUNCH ON MEEEE. I learned so much

[@vitalikliber]

Thanks for the upload! The Former King playing vs The New King! Priceless!

[@CheatOnlyDeath]

No surprise that Scott has masterful knowledge of One Pocket, but credit where it is due he did a great job commentating. The game would be more popular if there was more of this level of commentary.

[@janewolfe6699]

When Josh went up 2 to 1 I thought Efren was toast. I should have known better. Good job Scott.

[@scottfrost8956]

Thank you Jane 🥶

[@jasonreyes25]

Damn Scott you're a great commentator! Efren still have the magic I'm proud of him!

[@aronhegedus]

the commentator was really good in this one!! enjoyed watching it

[@DolkkarToyznstuff]

What a match! Neither of these tough competitors disappoint. Thank you RailbirdsTV!

[@ordiamond]

The little kiss on the 8 in Efren's final 3 shots was just perfect, and nobody probably predicted it.

[@tornintheflesh5781]

Sometimes we don't know what's Efren's seeing that we don't see... even his thinking ❤

[@McDzy]

HES THE GOAT

[@godjhaka7376]

​@@McDzygoats have 5 US Open wins, Efren only has 1. The goat is SVB and Earl Strickland.

[@charlesfair1582]

To: godjhaka, When they have 10 each,we’ll talk. Meanwhile I will accept Efren. Reyes. as THE GOAT. That does not belittle either SVB or The PEARL . Soon enough we will be talking about Joshua Filler as THE BEST. (probably). Greenleaf,; Mosconi ; Maybe you (?) I don’t know. But I do know; All these others Are the BEST. ……and not any one of them should be Spoke of as anything but the Best! adios

[@totoydevastator8231]

​what's the standing between EU and US in the mosconi cup again? GOATS have multiple titles and recognized as such all over the world not just in the US

[@olinadganabac3502]

i love watching the GOAT and Killer Filler. Your commentating Scott made it very interesting to watch. Thanks!!!

[@bernardocarpio2831]

Filler the Quitter.

[@larrywhipit5204]

I love the respect Scott gives Efren.

[@GT-1902]

He has played him enough times to know how well Efren played/plays the game!

[@kriz6237]

Not always.he question y bata called the magician..looks like he doesn't know.but he lose to bata already.cuz I watched frost Vs Reyes 2015 and 2016 .bata won.haist..so much talk man..

[@francisdejucos3274]

One pocket is like a chess it's mind blowing strategy.. focus and ball control is your advantage ❤❤❤❤..salute to you... the GOAT..thanks for amazing commentary....❤❤

[@jerrythomas8235]

that's the great Efren "BATA" Reyes, TheMAGICIAN, the Greatest Of All Time

[@scottfrost8956]

[@louisbuzzi869]

Efren Reyes is the GOAT, my favorite player.

[@fredmac1000]

[@FIVE-0-APOCALYPTO]

Scott Frost, excellent world champion class experience and commentary. Thank you for your contributions, very well done. ".. what are you TALKING about Corey...??" Scott Frost Somewhere back in time.

[@scottfrost8956]

🥶

[@marcohernandez2940]

Scott aka the freezer, you are the best,God bless

[@agreekinnorway]

Scott you are amazing, more commentaries please!

[@ashton235]

Thank you for the expert commentary. First time watching this format. Very Chess like.

[@kyoung1959]

Great commentary! Learning a lot…

[@yvansflorian8944]

Scott Frost really FREEZE ME TO WATCH THIS GAME SUPERB COMMENTATING I LEARNED SO MUCH. Thanks Scott AMAZING JOB 🎉

[@markgilbert790]

This is a great match with great commentary highly recommend

[@williamgalatz670]

Pure class both players.

[@jefferymgarcia9542]

I love the respect that Josh had for Efren at the end by not making him shoot that last ball. I think anyone else and Josh is making him shoot it, lol Efren has a lot of respect for Josh as well and has said so in an interview.

[@JohnSBoyer]

thanks for this, can't take my eyes off it

[@brjones27]

Reyes may be the GOAT. Just the number of accomplishments over such a wide variety of games.

[@lacc01]

Great game and great comments from Scott!

[@bfrytech]

I like your single commentary, Scott. Very well done

[@Diyleftyman]

What a great commentary you are!

[@speedway84]

Interesting game. Totally different strategy.

[@CliffHuxtableSweater]

Efren is the old guy in the old kung fu movies sitting in the corner minding his bizness drinking his tea… then some young hipsters from the new local karate school walk in… well, you know where that story goes

[@RailbirdsTV]

lol love that analogy 🤣

[@lebronjamesharden3958]

THE GOAT!!!

[@TBloodFPV]

great match but- Mr. Frost VERY well done in the booth~~!~~

[@scottfrost8956]

Thank you 💙

[@tonyhernandez2693]

You might not know this little trivia.: The great Efren Bata Reyes has finally admitted the influence of Actor and comedian " Chiquito" (rip), in his early years at Lucky 13 Billiard Hall in Downtown Mania. Few people knew that the actor was a topnotch billiards player having earned the monicker of " Mr. Eight Ball"...and was an Asian games gold medalist in the mid sixties. I am lucky to have witnessed his mastery of the game of "carambola" and also for his funny antics before playing a shot....

[@jacobjunior3692]

The GOAT lives on!!!!

[@dfloriza]

Efren might be retired, but his loyalty to Derby City is unmatched. He'll always come back to play Derby City.

[@orandilu989]

I thought it was JJ commentating until I came to the comments. Phenomenal job in the box, Scott! I very much appreciated your insights.

[@JarrodFLif3r]

Unreal that Bata is still playing at a top pro level

[@judg3Grady]

Two greatest players and amazing commentator

[@donjocson2311]

Interesting match. Thanks Scott for the play by play comments.😊

[@user-eu8iz2px4m]

I was going to write a few comments on "The Freezer's" commentary until I read all the others posted. Not much to add. Scott you are my One pocket guru!

[@richardfriedlander8281]

some of the best commentary on any sport I've ever heard. Your commentary is better than what you are commenting on. Stay cool.

[@joshuacoleman6245]

Ty

[@lenchonegro5567]

Nice playing Effy! Excellent commenting Frosty! 😊❤

[@guygranger7894]

I was never a beg fan of one pocket,but the Freezer made this an interesting match. Thanx.

[@AlvinVillafania-jw9qm]

The GOAT of Billiard Sports ,Proud of the Filipino People... Philippines Pride...Efren BATA Reyes, The Magician....,🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@cristiano7ronaldoTHEGOAT]

Yan na naman sa "proud".

[@michaelensminger5190]

Thinking this is one of the most accurate 'Goat' lists i've ever seen, and obviously a lot of time reseaching.

[@simbaroberts8210]

Efron Reyes is a planet earth treasure for billiards

[@popongay]

Efren 69yrs vs Filler 25 yrs.

[@andrew_owens7680]

Amazing. But it's Efren, what was I expecting? May he live another 50 years!

[@fioboynoyma]

Great commentary!!!

[@zankelley]

never seen this game before...became obvious by the end due to the commentary and level of players. pretty interesting game.

[@bobbybeeman7280]

Enjoying the match and the best commentator around. Thanks

[@charlesfair1582]

Absolutely Great game of One Pocket❗️❗️❗️ Also you Scott are THE BEST “describer” the game has ever seen. I don’t want to belittle you in any way by calling you a commentator. The term has come to mean negative connotations in our game. AND YOU are getting better each time. Sorry you’re feeling bad. (didn’t hurt you at all here) Just get better and come back TALKING! Would still like to see you play though; don’t retire yet.

[@bigrocket-1]

This is just fantastic commentary

[@charlesfair1582]

My God ‼️ 203 comments.(and I couldn’t stop reading.) Congratulations “FREEZER “ and Efren and Filler.

[@RichardsWorld]

This is the game for Efren. He doesn't need some big power break to compete against the young guys. He can use his skills, experience and knowledge to win.

[@sawmillsam7156]

Scott, you made a 9 ball player enjoy watching one pocket! Of course, the players helped...

[@kevenbeene4585]

Great match. Give Efren one open or almost open shot, and he can win. He is getting older, and you can see it on some shots. But he is and will always be The G.O.A.T.

[@someonesomewhere8406]

Brilliant commentary 👍

[@StevenDaugherty-uo5cs]

Wonderful match. Plenty of strategy and tough shot making. Very insightful commentary. You obviously know this game well. I especially appreciated the couple of times Efren surprised you and you aknowledged it.

[@momo9594]

Was that a burp? (54:20)😂 thanks for the excellent commentary 😘

[@peternagy6656]

The magician is still there amongst the best ones even close to seventy.

[@chrisp.9172]

I'm 15 minutes in, excellent match, great commentary..

[@bedebill]

Keep going Efren .

[@mellow7me]

What’s… Great about Efren, he’s plays to his opponent making the Game challenging for his self… Efren is the trap master !!

[@Thesage28]

wow wow wow

[@paulnarez7598]

“2 6 8 who do we appreciate? Efren Reyes.” Took me out! Great commentary!

[@LegolasHIMM]

23:54 Not a youngster anymore. He is almost 70 years old playing against the best players in the world. He is a god ! :)

[@donm1547]

Awesome game.

[@pescaconnunez]

Fascinante le ganó a uno de los mejores 💪 Efren reyes la leyenda

[@sfincione2000]

Another great performance from Efren. Love watching that guy play one-pocket. It's a treat. Filler wasn't bad either. He's a straight shooter for sure. He also had some nice one-pocket skills and good thinking. I didn't expect him to play the mental side of it so well but he impressed me there.

[@IamKwote]

I love how Efren says You?! hahaha

[@AMOSLZY]

42:01Oui ! lol

[@guymanges3628]

Looks like full relaxing...

[@user-sm3yf6pk4o]

I would like to watch your lectures for beginner one pocket players .

[@brjones27]

69 and beating Josh Filler. I am insanely impressed.

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

*What* a match! Filler is a dead-eye, and Efren is still a beast of a player. Scott Frost is the best commentator in the business.

[@_Ramen-Vac_]

That last break was the sleeper-hold. Even tho I knew the time, I still knew nothing til that break.

[@ANUKU_ALLAN_JEFF]

MAGICIAN

[@PaigeSchneider-zv3nh]

Efren still making money from pool .. He won’t stop playing .. Good commentary from Scott ..

[@anon2414]

Scott frost and JJ would be the best commentating team

[@9Ballr]

Efren is IMHO the greatest one-pocket player of all time.

[@robatalan]

This guy is 69! Waw! He still got it! One of the greatest players ever! 👌😎

[@dedjuhk1207]

GOAT vs. Future GOAT = can't get any better

[@JeffMTX]

Save that iffy combo for the last rack and BOOM!

[@2xl830]

1st.Time stopping in. Did a good job commentating.
