KILLER ONE POCKET: Josh ROBERTS vs Billy THORPE - 2017 DERBY CITY CLASSIC ONE POCKET DIVISION

[@jackahler7170]

What a great match!!!!!!!! Both had great touch, I loved it and I am no kid, 72. A beauty.

[@51Dss]

I love watching a professional game of one pocket where both players don't waste time. They know what needs to be done. They step to the table. Take a short scan of the layout and then they shoot. Good clean fun game. Great shot making and they play an uncomplicated style of one pocket.

[@Happyfsscist33]

If they come up with great shot on hard shot it's worth waiting.

[@LucaBares]

Damn, that was a nail biter up until the very end. Really fantastic

[@dp1381]

Love the Danny D commentary!

[@BoBurson]

I wish more players would dress as sharply and present themselves with the class Thorpe does here. Not many of them since Sigel era. Thanks for video!

[@AccuStats]

Yeah I agree

[@ChrisAndrewsJazz]

Great match. Even better to see my hometown of Columbia SC represented here!

[@AccuStats]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@JamesLaisGlass]

Great match! Very enjoyable to watch

[@Enticementz]

"he's amphibious" haha danny always makes me laugh

[@AccuStats]

You MUST KNOW that it is an ongoing joke with him for the last 30+ years.

Oh gosh 😂😂😂

[@chrisrodgers429]

First time ever seeing Roberts play,, and I'm now a fan. This dude can play

[@smcc7126]

He's even better now

[@thangs]

If you follow enough one-pocket, eventually you'll hear Roberts' commentary. It's as good as his game, maybe even better. His 1p commentary is legendary.

[@terpet8729]

as usual, great upload!

Thanks again!

Good stuff right there!!

[@sanjursan]

Who came up with the stupid idea of changing colors of the balls???

[@rogeremslie]

ugly, no?

[@MrJdsenior]

Hey, we hear Jeremy all the time, and he's one of my favorite commentators. Could we maybe see a match of his sometime? I found one of yours, Mark, from way back in a Mosconi cup. Pretty darn good play on that one. I haven't actually searched one for Jeremy, but since he still plays pro level it would be cool to see a more current match of his on your channel.

[@Dancindazed]

how was danny so confident in his analysis after being proven wrong time and time again? I get he can't see very well, but at what point does he begin to question what he thinks he sees? lol

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

Cracks me up how Danny rarely knows what the score is !! I'm sure in his playing days.. he knew exactly what the score was, for sure !! JT

[@donsmith3857]

sometimes i think thats just a little act for Danny---hes alot sharper than he lets on........

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

@@donsmith3857Agreed. that is Danny, and a lot of folks don't know him.. he was a great player for sure, and that has always been part of his hustle, or you might say his demeanor in the pool room.. I definitely had mine LOL !! thanks for that

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

@@donsmith3857 I was rooting for Josh on this match up.. Billy's so strong all of the time.. Josh played great in this match !! I am from Reno and Monk was my guy, when it came to my one pocket game..

[@robertmeadows1657]

So do they refer to Josh as the Tiger Woods of pool because he’s generally regarded as one of the best pool players in history or because he’s one of the most famous athletes of all time?

[@edwardborgias]

There's no "They".. someone said it they sadly repeated lol.. "He's tall and slender" lol... yes thats the first thing I thought.. " ah yes the same build as Tiger woods".. Jesus..

[@jamieduncan3066]

Josh is amphibious? He plays pool on land AND IN THE WATER? INCREDIBLE!!!

[@edwardborgias]

It's a long running semi inside joke. He's been saying that a long time.. I first heard like 10 years ago when he was commentating a US open match..

[@desyquintero8451]

Are we gonna just ignore that Mads Mikkelsen is hiding in the audience at 1:43:48 (top right)

[@Tjseabolt]

Josh is so smooth and learned one pocket from Grady Mathew’s in Columbia S.C.

[@redringofdeathgamer]

What. A. Game.

[@loupankey2345]

These cats are pretty sporty...

[@donsmith3857]

why did josh not shoot the 1 ball after banking the 6? could he not see enough of it? looked like the exact same shot--instead he plays a sloppy safe and loses.......when youre playing thorpe u stay aggressive because he WILL be........

[@dwaynehendricks7842]

Why not a rerack on rack #2?

[@paulsmc7041]

_Some_ tournaments call for a rerack if you sink an object ball on the break. Evidently this tournament did not have that rule.

[@pavlosgermanidis2754]

That rule didn't exist 2017 in the DCC

[@Stackz777-u3j]

Billiards is a Gentlemen game…. Between two individuals that’s competing to win… Regardless of Race,creed or religion we as bystanders that Love the game… Understand it’s a Game that only one person can win…. It’s aggravating to hear someone constantly being condescending towards a individual… and doing so without Speaking up is encouraging a person behavior !!!

[@Universe728]

I have a lot of respect for Josh Roberts' game, but I'm a BIG fan of Billy Thorpe.

[@JohnnyAdambomb]

I didn’t know Billy could live in water too lmao

[@sanjursan]

Danny seems to do a lot better without Billy constantly telling him how wrong he is.

[@paulsmc7041]

It's technical problem when Billy is on the mic, too. That is, his ego fills up the entire booth. :)

[@brandonbeater1628]

I apologize for sounding insulting just wondered why Mark Wilson never corrected him LOL

[@AccuStats]

It's been an ongoing joke for over 30 years. Everyone doesn't know it though.🙂

[@larrywhipit5204]

Plus Mark is a class act! When Danny thought Thorpe already paid the ball he owed, Mark knew that wasn't true, but he kindly just agreed. A true class act!

[@Stackz777-u3j]

I love the Game… Hopefully I will never get too Good whereas I walk around with my ass on my shoulder and not being able to get a Good match…. The ego itself is a Hellva drug !!!

I don't care how good of a player Danny D was, he's the worst commentator and he has that annoying old man half whistle when he talks.

[@darrellmccall6100]

Facts.....and too many others let him talk crazy to them.. They are better than me....he would talk to me with respect.

[@AccuStats]

Yea, terrible, isn't it?

[@51Dss]

your attitude toward "old people" shows that you are profoundly disrespectful and immature. He is a far better and infinitely more qualified commentator than you are a commenter on the game of one pocket.

[@darrellmccall6100]

@@51Dss it’s not about old people…he is disrespectful and it’s my understanding he has always been that way. Also, just because I don’t play in public or tournaments does not mean I don’t have game…I spent my time building a successful career but I can play. He is knowledgeable but he is rude and there is no excuse for it.

[@terpet8729]

thats your opinion. i think he is a great commentator, funny and curious about new players.
