The Mighty MIZ! Such a smoother than silk follow through & stroke! Man, I wish he could've lived on this planet a lot longer! What a Great Man & Legend! We Miss You MIZ!

[@brianpurdy6072]

This was a joy -- and very instructive to watch. The contrasting styles of these two increased the pleasure. Classic match.

[@thegodofpez]

What a classic. 🙌

[@keithkruger7270]

Cool to see a straight pool match with Butera. People have heard how fast Lou played but there is little footage of him it's hard to believe how incredibly quick he played when he was in rhythm. Regardless of difficulty of shot, once he decided there's no hesitation...If there is more available of Lou please post.

[@SlickRick4EVER]

Have you watched Virtual Pool 2’s intro of him?

[@bonhzeppelin55]

The Machine Gun! Lou still plays like a youthful Mosconi! Fearless, Fast & Loose!

[@robertlambert4514]

​@@SlickRick4EVERmy favorite game back in the day :)

[@cjr3559]

The Miz! Thank you so much for this 📀🎱📀

[@charlesfair1582]

Glad you have come a long way with better cameras Pat. This tape shows them making over 90 degree shots without hardly looking. Not a tape to learn from, But I love it. First saw it many years ago. Saw Grady and Lou. Now I am waiting for you,Pat, and Grady. (and your 53” cue) More of these oldies I hope.

[@EricPetersen2922]

Nice Pat, thank you very much 😃

[@lestrowell3433]

I've never seen or heard of Lou. His style might not be the most technical but it sure is fun to watch . Talk about freewheeling.

[@robertmeadows1657]

And oh, look, Pat just happened to stomp his opponent in the background. Nice flex, Mr. Fleming.

[@brennerholloman8379]

Miz has that nice compact stroke! Love it 💞 🎯 ‼️

[@LeonFleisherFan]

Steve's sorely missed, what a nice guy to be around. Great Straight Pool player, too, even though I always felt he had a tendency to go into the balls without insurance too often (as indeed he's guilty of in this match as well), but it was hard to argue given his credentials, and he liked to have the balls well-spread giving him options, as in fact most modern players now do…

[@billysikes1374]

The Miz, legend

[@banddboy]

I thought they were playing on a Gold Crown, but the table had catch pockets. What table was it?

[@AlexM-tc7ch]

Machine Gun vs. The Miz

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

@37:54, Bill didn't say "four ball" until *after* Miz hit the cue ball. No idea what Miz was griping about.

[@loum5254]

awesome

[@Salty80556]

The current record is Darren Appleton 200 and out...... but his happend long after this match

[@sdickinson5234]

The good old days, a Gandy Big G table with 5 inch pockets.

[@jeremymckinna6804]

Never understood 14.1

[@daviddelloso9077]

46:23, takes a shot with chalk in bridge hand. Gangster.

[@NoName-ge6wc]

Machine gun could play.

[@davidhennessy1179]

I could only watch the first 30 minutes, had to turn it off. Accu-stats going overboard on the ads, seemed like one every 5 minutes.

[@AccuStats]

You should sign up for KZbin Premium. No commercials.

[@chriscripplercruz1833]

I didn't deserve that.. yes yes u did lol

[@hairyhoudini5565]

It's impossible for Bill Incardona to complete a cognitive thought without using the word 'therefore'.

[@Noejjkkkj]

56:45 They called him a madman. I call him… 56:45

[@nancyfail160]

I rather watch paint dry

[@JohnS-il1dr]

I say that about one pocket. Worst game ever to watch on tv.
