🎯 FORMER WORLD #1 VS. THE GOAT, WHO WINS? | Efren Bata Reyes

[@vincentdufort777]

looks fun..... Glad to see the magician joining and racking matches once again... Good Health and Strength Sir Efren...

[@GetGoodGerry]

Thanks, Vince! Enjoy 700+ EFREN REYES MAGIC : kzbin.info/aero/PL6mvbCi66hQQ2mSkNOHNuJBwm1irE0-9Y

V has a certain charisma & entertainment factor that I don’t see anywhere else. Pool without these types is sorta sad . If pool is to develop & sustain as a popular sport I believe it needs people like V

[@jvlp2046]

I have nothing personal against her... All I am saying is that I am DISAPPOINTED with the EXHIBITION game... considering the TITLE BLOG was totally MISLEADING... I thought, that the Current WORLD #1 was somehow "EQUALLY MATCHED" with the GOAT (Efren Reyes) who is almost 70 years old... Efren Reyes may not be the World #1 but was inducted into the HALL OF FAME in 2003 and won more than 100 Major International TOURNAMENTS since the '80s. Obviously, Efren Reyes was just toying around (not seriously playing) at the table with the WORLD #1... She was the Former World #1 in the Women's Billiard Association in 1992... perhaps she never competed with the Men's Professional Division where the BIG LEAGUE is happening... All I am saying is this... COMPARING the GOAT with the Former WORLD #1... she is just an AMATEUR, who needs more experience, coaching, and practice bank/kick shots... but I did say is FUN to WATCH...

[@jvlp2046]

EFREN REYES is not just "THE GOAT" but he is the "MAGICIAN" (The Philippine Merlin) in the POOL/BILLIARD Table... Perhaps can be considered the World's LIVING LEGEND... Facts and Truth of the matter... Two-Thumbs Up!... Hands Down...

[@johnholmstrom4212]

"The GOAT" is a higher level than "magician" or "living legend" lol.

[@jvlp2046]

@@johnholmstrom4212 I have seen many who can also perform "Magic Shots" (bank/kick shots) but only "The GOAT" (Efren Reyes, the magician) have a strong WILL (guts) and are brave enough to do the Magic shots during Major Competitions or Tournaments where the STAKES are HIGH... Most often they would rather choose the "PLAY SAFE" shots...

BE GREAT TO HAVE MORE LIKE HIM IN THE PHILIPPINE..........BUT NOT IN SPORTS ONLY.........IN TRUES HONEST POLITICS/ECONOMIC GROWTH & HUMAN DESCENCY IN LIVING STD.S

[@jvlp2046]

@@gibraltarchan9750 I still believe in "GOD'S WILL be done."... Almost all Human beings around the world want, seek, wish, dream, and pray to be GREAT and to be SUCCESSFUL in life (wealthy, famous, powerful, and in good health with longer life span)... if only man knows when his "Day and Hour" ENDS... there is only ONE WAY to enter this World through BIRTH by our mother, but there are THOUSANDS of WAY to EXIT this World through DEATH by old age, sickness, accident, murder, etc... The Bible clearly says, "What PROFIT a Man if he gains the whole world and loses his own SOUL." (ref. Mark 8:36)... What matters most is not our short LIFE on Earth of 70-80 years old (average) where we struggle EVERY DAY, all the time to be the BEST or GREAT, that we forget the most important aspect of life AHEAD, which is the Everlasting (Eternal) "LIFE AFTER DEATH" of our physical bodies while our Souls still lives either in HELL (eternal damnation) or in PARADISE (eternal Happiness in God's Kingdom)... Choose wisely... whether to FOCUS more on Earthly matters or Heavenly matters... The CHOICE is yours called "The Gift of FREEWILL" from God... "Nobody can SERVE two MASTERS (Earthly and Heavenly), either you HATE (dispised) the one and LOVE (devoted) the other"... (ref. Matt. 6:24)... What does this mean?... Mankind can SERVE Multiple MASTERS as long as they are Earthly, Earthly, and Earthly... but NOBODY can SERVE Earthly and Heavenly EQUALLY... Facts and Truth, Biblically and Logically speaking... Praise be to God in Christ Jesus... Amen...

Nice match. Vivian had fun even though she lost. Pool is more enjoyable with easy going people.

My boy Efren is giving this wonderful lady player multiple attempts to catch up. Great sportsmanship on Bata's part. great exhibition all together.

[@nugraha9675]

Efren is such an honorable man, on rack 4, he easily could've done combination on the 9, with a ball in hand, but chose to run out.

[@GetGoodGerry]

[@albiemccarthy5955]

Efren is the master

[@douglaswhite7674]

Vivian is A very nice lady.

[@BigHeinen]

Efren missed a shot at 7:30 but most people may not realize what an incredible shot he attempted! The cue ball was glued to the right hand rail. He had to shoot around the red ball with enough left English in hopes that he'd be able to get onto the left hand side of the 2 ball. He actually got more English than needed and over 'massaged' the shot! He's the Magician!!

[@GetGoodGerry]

Thanks, Doug for sharing. Great analysis! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@OscarGonzalez-vg3cp]

I see she is a good player, and the reality is an exhibition game. Only I see is a good experience for her. Nice.

[@robertjones1730]

@@devinshannon2995 Maybe she's just really rusty but she sure doesn't put up much of a battle against the GOAT. I'm a skill level 7 in 8-ball and a 9 in 9-ball. Watching her play was a little cringy

Efren scores at 19 and 21, but we finally get that corrected on the 8th win. The magician is truly amazing to watch.

[@kaylaschroeder1]

I love watching Efren, but I honestly watched this match to see her get her ass handed to her. Knowing her lazy executions would only swallow her whole against one of the best and most beloved pool players of all time. Sure, she was popular and used to shoot much better, maybe actually gave more of a sh*t back when she had a better chance of winning because the competition wasn't as steep as it is now in the women's scene, but gdamn... watching her is not enjoyable to me. I find her personality grating and irritating, her shooting style the same. Efren IS the master. His humility, kindness and mastery is always evident.

[@radicalrick9587]

@@kaylaschroeder1 *I agree, she's not out there now playing because she simply can't play at their levels. And not only that, she's too lazy to put in the effort required to play at such a high level these top players are playing at these days.* *Now, she's just trying to milk her former glory for all it's worth, which is dying out like a candle.* *Clearly, she took advantage of Efen's humbleness in order to try to raise her own name back up a little.* *It's what they call a PR stunt.*
