It can easily be said that they are both excellent players. Efrin's record speaks for itsself, and while I know very little about Tony Crosby, I had the privilege of playing him when he came to do a clinic here at Parris Island. I played somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 games with him, and of all the games we played he ran out more than half of them. Everyone has their good days and bad days, and Efrin Reyes just had a bad day.
Is this comment a joke? Ever have "one of those games". Efren is THE best pool player in the world. He might slip and let you have one game but I would dare you to play him a race to 3 for $10 or a race to 7 for $50 or a race to ten for a $1000. You comment was comical but far from fair. You would be better off to challenge michael Jordan to a game of one on one.
OK people first of all we all have our days when we need to step it up more than usual because everything is not clicking and even Efren has those days( missing the 9 ball, btw not trying to put it in the side, shows how little you know about pool and proffesionals) but you can't talk shit about tony he is a great pool player and a class act so all of you who get on the efren and the stricklands band wagon learn to respect other players.
I admit I have always thought all in high praise of Reyes and his uncanny abilities but I will never be on the Strickland band wagon. That guy has all but class in the game. He constantly whines about everything and believes that the game should be played his way and his way only. I love to see his lose.
tony crosby sucks...he thinks he can beat efren? hahahaha he better be go home and fuck his student taznaravane ..... efren can beat crosby anytime.....
efren is not only a great pool player.. he's also an entertainer.. he wanted to pocket the 9 on the side.. had seen him made such shots.. "The Magician"
if u really think that efren miss that on purpose your a fucking idiot..it shows how much you know about pool and about any pro pool player..tony crosby deserved that match anyway..he is a great pool player and my coach..so quit trying to believe that efren missed that ball on purpose
he did it on purpose not to put the 9 in the corner pocket but in the middle pocket instead to give the audience a great show. Unfortunately, he didn't make it.. Efren still the best.!!!
if you think its fixed thats bullshit... no matter how good you get, you still have nerves, and when your nervous your muscles tense up.. the reason why he stood up in his backswing is because of anticipation... didn't you see him rubbing his chest when he made a shot that was sketchy? its because he was anticipating the shot (obviously) but just to make my point... give credit where credit is due... if efren reyes didn't want to win this match he wouldn't have gone up the hill with tony
this is the world championships where these players came here for one reason and that was to win and beat the others. Why on earth would they throw a game. thanks for showing that you know shit about fuck my man
I dont believe that the magician did not care about losing that match! As a matter of fact, prize money is not an issue when it comes to professionals. Whether it is $1,000,000 or $1 , the pro will still play his best because it has to do with his character.
I believe Efren doesn't mind losing this world pool championship in the Philippines because he already became champion in IPT twice....which he recieve $200,000 from IPT King of the Hill and $500,000 from another IPT match in Nevada...think about the total money he already recieve... it is much bigger in this match in which the champion only recieve the total of $100,000

Taz probably plays better than you. You say Tony cant beat Efren but he just did.

@TrapperTC In my eyes, he'd beathim if he ran out the rest of the rack after the 5 ball, as it is Efren "gave" the win to him.

The referee should have tried MUCH harder to quiet the crowd. It sounded like a goddamn zoo every time one of them shot.

I have never seen the magician missing such an important shot. Nevertheless he is still the best player in the world.
