what's hilarious about that series of videos is all the morons fighting over who's better and who's not. They both are amazing players ffs... just enjoy the videos and shut the fuck up! Sure Earl can be a baby at times... but so can Ronnie O' Sullivan and so can a top of the line soccer player, basketball player and whatever top player out there. You're witnessing a one of a kind game [ not money wise but darn those are like the two best players ever played the game ] Thx for the upload :)

Yes, thats right :-)

Couldn't agree more. Both of the players are playing fantastic pool. I don't even try to guess which one of these players is the better one. They're both incredible and have their strengths and weaknesses.

I'll just try to enjoy the match.

Thank you xeniumcool for these videos by the way.

@azaas : I agree, also. These two are top flight players on a historical level--i.e., they will go down as greats of history. When everything is running right for them, they're both essentially "perfect" 9 ball players.

HOWEVER, it is true that Earl has a particularly unpleasant personality, and Efren has a particularly PLEASANT personality. Interestingly, that's often how it goes with amazing achievers: they're either saints or devils. Earl is a great PLEASURE to watch when he's hitting them.

@azaas I'll say it, again... Buddy Hall is the greatest 9-Ball player of all-time.. Buddy, in his prime, would (and did) rob these guys..
