Having watched Davies for years, accepting him saying he will dominate Reyes is clickbait nonesense, he is too professional and respectful for that. If you produce a video of him saying that, that's ok, if you can't,.........
Yeah, clickbait title for sure - Davies would never say this to anyone ever in any sport...
yeah very disrespectful, if it was on a snooker table it would be the same in the opposite way, two completely different games, both absolute legends though...
Also, the last time Steve Davis was world number 1 was 30 years ago. Ridiculous title.
Fan of both players. I actually admire Steve because jumping from Snooker to bigger balls will mess up your game. Guy literally do this just for fun. The Greatest players !
@@Whywhatwherehowwhen This video looks like it is twenty years old. Efren is 69 years old now. I'd be amazed if this channel has any real connection with him.
Title is total nonsense click-bait, Davis is a complete professional, polite and respectful in every sense of the word.
It's tough choosing who to vie for when your two favourite players are at the table together. Steve Davis is the most likeable person in this sport.
I don't know why video titles are so often clickbait-ish.
The guy made this video is Philippine, he pride about his nation and proud of Effren so much so he made up what Davis said and totally untrue. It’s not a click bait but a untrue stupid video title
Yes, he may be a complete professional, polite and respectful, but he's still a few notches below Efren's level of play.
Bias commentator too.
As a fan of snooker apart from billiards during my teens I find Steve Davis an extremely nice guy, and vilifying or antagonizing him comes off as funny and rage baiting. Davis is not a bragger and is actually a humble guy.
Whats more he would annihilate this player of a 2nd rate game on a Snooker Table🤣
@@rufanuf1 - personally I don't think Efren Reyes would make it into the top 50 of Snooker.
@@rufanuf1 2nd rate game based on what? The number of people playing the two games is not even comparable. If we base it on popularity around the world (no of ppl playing it) snooker wouldnt be even a 10 th rate game.
@@Trqize LOL which is why thats not what the comments about. Why is snooker a 10th rate game compared to Pool? Probably becuase its 10 times more difficult to master for most people. Playing both games for decades I should know. Whatsmore that also likely why the prize money in snoonker is likely 10 X higher than that in pool. Well thought out comment. Well done.
@@williamairy2212 he has multiple titles in snooker, balkline, one pocket, and 3 cushion
I'm not disagreeing that Efren is a great player, but to say Davis thought he would dominate him is simply not true. From the start of his pool career, he had total respect for all the top pool players, and knew his own weaknesses in pool. Don't forget, the following year, Davis was more shocked than anyone when he managed to knock Efren out of the world 9ball championship.
I don't know why video titles are so often clickbait-ish.
7 -2 domination
Not in a disparaging way, or anything to do with this game, but I'd love to see Efren play snooker.
@@warmonkey There is a you tube video of him playing snooker, not that great to honest.
steve mizerak was pretty good at snooker though
@@mikerusby I'm a great pool player. I am a subpar snooker player. The skills do not translate
Now let's see Reyes play Snooker....
That would be fun!
Hi did play snooker, there's a video on CZcams.. he was shocking
Did he? Can’t wait to find it.
It’ll be more fun I think if it is a 3 cushion carom….
Exactly...never see any of the pool boys moving over to a proper game
Texas, USA. Just discovered Efren today. I drempt of shots like his, and even attpted them on my friend's table. But NEVER did i think someone could actually do them. Multiple bank shots, being able to plan a deflection off another ball...All while having perfect control of the cue ball? This guy is the best and has ice in his veins! RESPECT!
what's amazing is completely different styles of those 2 players. The way they position their body, how the hold the stick, how they shoot etc. Davis is like a machine, totally calculated without any unnecessary movement, and Efres is like a wild horse to the point I have no idea how he is so precise with that much of body movement. SOmehow the way he executes the shots I always think there is 0 accuracy possible.
Was a pleasure to watch both of masters at work nontheless.
Mad props to Davies. Not many can go toe to toe, shot for shot with Efren!
MAD PROPS TO EFREN!! WINNER
Toe to toe, shot for shot. He got SPANKED 7-2
@@2MUCHFUN4U - But as others have rightly pointed out, this is Efren's home court, the pool table. On a Snooker table, I suspect things would go somewhat differently.
@@NoelKerns exactly snooker is like trying to win the Golf Masters and Pool is like playing mini golf, no professional pool player has the minerals to make it to the top in Snooker whereas you see many snooker pros winning Pool tournaments
@@2MUCHFUN4U Efren would have lost easily playing snooker so works both ways lets be honest.

I’m American and Efren Reyes won 2 Nine ball championships in 5 tries. Earl Strickland won 8 in 8 tries. Who’s the greatest?
The most humble GOAT. What a legend in our lifetime.
From the beautiful state of Arkansas, US of A, I don't care who Reyes is playing, I always root for him, he is the GOAT!!!!!!!
Only at Pool though- Snooker players can compete in both.
In our home country, he is the GOAT. People don't realize Efren used to work at a pool place that was owned by his uncle when he was a kid. He had to use a wooden case to elevate his height so she can play pool.
@@mariabernadettebacho2534 I don't care what anyone says, snooker or pool, Efren makes shots that everyone else don't even see as a option, truly a magician, I've watched a lot of games, nobody has Efren's talent, not even close.
@@rick343maybe you should watch ronnie o Sullivan
Steve will be the first to admit he is not a Pool player, they are 2 different sports, but he and Jimmy did put up good battles with the GOAT
Yes. They did. You are right.
@@legendefrenreyes thank you Steve did beat him once from 8-3 down that is rarely shown, but they are different games Jimmy and Ronnie where the most natural snooker players I’ve ever seen, Steve was a mechanical machine, but Efren was the best pool player of all time and the most entertaining, the Z shot proved it
@@paulgreen7588-2 down and came back to clinch it 8-9.
@@TwistedSoul2002 sure did he was mechanical but single minded to try a different sport, other then Efrens Z shot I think one of Jimmys against Efren was one of the greatest shots in pool. And his blue ball in the mosconie cup
The average person view all cue sports the same and have no idea what any of the differences are. It all pool to them.
It's great watching these guys perform. Efren is truly a humble master at his craft. A true opportunist. Hello from Ohio!
Yeah! very nice State been from Mayfield Hts : )
Pool is a pub game for kids, not even really a sport.
Steve Davis is also a very respectful guy- just don’t believe this clickbait title.
Um mestre do esporte sem dúvida, é muito gratificante ver um talento desses!!
Loved seeing these two legends go at it, from here in Texas, United States.
HAHA Not the first one here to say Steve Davies one of nicest and most humble guys around, who would have given Reyes the uttermost respect whether he wins or is slaughtered.
Who is Davies?
@@MikeLickorish, quite possibly the greatest sports person to ever hold a “Cue”.
Remember Steve Davis is playing Reyes in his own backyard, I can’t ever see Reyes playing Steve Davis at Snooker because Reyes would know that there would be only one outcome.
Give Steve Davis a few months to get into the game and I’m sure he’d eat Reyes for breakfast. Reyes would struggle to even beat an Amateur or Bar Snooker Player never mind making it professional 😂
@@kinkaid25 That’s Davis, not Davies.
And Davis played pool for years, although not full-time.
@@MikeLickorish where in my comment did I say his name was “Davies”?
My comment was also meant for the guy at the top, I’m sure he’s seen it and probably won’t reply..
Fun to watch the legends, now take Reyes to the snooker table. Hi from New Zealand.
Hands down the G.O.A.T. His cue ball control just blows my mind.
Respect to both these men awesome pool from these legend... From new Zealand
2 legends at work. Obviously Efren is an absolute master at his craft. I’m sure if it was Snooker then Steve would shine through. Nice video, Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Nope. Efren is really good at playing pool. By his dominance you can tell. I can see the comparison. Given the same situation still Efren got the win. Watch some of Efrens game and you'll see.
@@pinarellocampagnolo3875 Lots of respect for Efren, but he could not pull off snooker. It's a wildly different game. Longer format, extreme accuracy and speed control, much faster tables, tiny balls... I can see him play better than the average joe given some practice, but he won't get close to a man like Davies who dominated the sport.
Hard to beat Efren IF he can.... But Efren is the Magician, thats the name people and players gave him, I play myself but I just cant believe how Efren plays with all the plays he did.... Well you can say everything about that guy but Efren for is the best ever when it comes to billiard... Isnt Efren plays accuracy?? come on.....practice? no, I dont believe that.. but thats fine Efren beat him...Thank you.@@simmerke1111

Efren is proof that if you first ground yourself in humility you can achieve anything you set your mind to.
Very well said our dear subscriber!
@@legendefrenreyeshave you ever played 8 ball on a snooker table?
These titles are all clickbait- Steve Davis is as humble as they come.
I didn't disparage Mr. Davis by praising Mr. Reyes. I simply like the man's demeanor and I'm sure Mr. Davis is a fine fellow.
@@legendefrenreyes shame on you trying to demonize one legend just to get views. Clown

Golden break on the hill. If that is not magic, then i don't know what is 🤯
Save the best for last!
What is a golden break?
@@qwertzui3653 When you sink the 9 on the break - meaning you win the game in the first shot.
One of the greatest pool players beats one of the greatest snooker players at pool wasn't a surprise, Steve Davis wouldn't have ever thought he would "dominate" him at pool. That being said I'm sure he would have given Efren a decent game of snooker!
They should have played a snooker match after the 9 ball match to allow each man to play in their game of expertise.
How's watching becsue of thumbnail without having insterst in snooker 😂
Steve Davies was just brilliant in his time in snooker, both legends both best at their respective games. Davies can at least challenge Efren in pool, if it was snooker Davies would wipe the floor
I agree but Efren also has a background in snooker, so we will never know. Thanks for passing by.
@@legendefrenreyes We do know, Davis would make a fool of this Reyes at snooker.
@turquoisecat761 we also know that Davies list this one.
@@turquoisecat761 he will not. and sadly for you, the only thing available on the internet about these two is Efren making a fool of davis in pool.
Yeah obviously, and I can make a bed and clean a toilet faster than both of them.
If Efren was any good at snooker, he would have made ten times as much money than at pool, but he wasn't. Steve Davis was in the top 10 pool players in the world, despite not being good enough to compete in competitive snooker. Most UK pool professionals are failed snooker hopefuls.
I WANT TO SEE REYES VS O'SULLIVAN
In snooker or the lesser sport, pool?
@@schulme123 BOTH
Efren has a history on snooker. They have matched before according to Ronnie but Efren won. Unfortunately, they did not record the match.
Don’t be silly. Efren beat O Sullivan at Snooker but it wasn’t recorded? You’re talking out of your ass.
@@legendefrenreyes Show a match with Efren on snooker please. Find a good one!
Watching from Louisville, Kentucky. There can be multiple legends, but when two face off; the true master will always come out on top. Much respect for his skill and knowledge of the game. A pro at seizing opportunity’s is to say the least 😂
Spoken like a shortsighted American.
Firstly, legend > master
Secondly, Davis isn’t a pool player. He’s a snooker player who can play pool.
Why do we only see snooker players playing against pros at pool and never the other way round?
Davis has beaten Reyes in a pool tournament- winning 7 racks in a row, coming from 2-8 to win 9-8.
Reyes could never challenge any of the top 50 snooker players in a first to 9.
@@TwistedSoul2002- I’d guess it’d be more like top 100 or 150. Totally different game.
That’s no disrespect to pool players.
Ronnie O’Sullivan it’s the best person to touch a cue
facts!
Ang ganda ng laro ni BATA galing!!!
Watching the video from my home in Thailand. Efren is definitely one of the best if not the GOAT.
Couldn't agree more! Hello there in Thailand. Do you know Mark wiens?
@@legendefrenreyes I have not met Mark or any of his partners. I have heard of his restaurants. I live pretty far out in the country outside of Prachinburi. Bangkok is a good two and a half hour drive from here. However if you ever come to Thailand I would definitely make the drive to see you play.
I like the sound-bite " I got lucky!", Reyes is lucky to be good,& he's good to be lucky❤❤❤
That was.. frightening.. at least to me. Seems like Reyes was 'playing' with him. Giving him chances at the first few rounds to see his skills, and.. well he kinda ended it by huge margin because "I've seen enough". To put cherry on top, he humbled us all by saying "I got lucky"
Davies beat him when they played again

Dude, this video has 2 million views +. So happy to see how your channel has grown. Truly inspiring, love your work!
The guy just uses clickbait titles that don’t represent the snooker player’s attitudes whatsoever. Davis is a really humble, respectful guy- the uploader just lies about their personalities.
@@TwistedSoul2002 yes, just using click bait titles gets 2 million+ views 🥹😂😂😂
Would be interesting to see it the other way round. I suspect the good snooker players would get the best pool players a real run for their money. However it wouldn't work the other way round.
I've seen video of Ronnie O'Sullivan playing and beating some of the best 8 and 9-ball players in the world in 8 or 9-ball.
I know. I've not seen it the other way round.
@@JayLandon64
Ha! Lets see Efren take Steve on at snooker....
Funny how you easily find vids of snooker players playing pool, but as good as none of pool players playing snooker. Why oh why?
This is competition between two of the of the best players. You win some and you lose some. I just enjoyed watching the match. Thanks for posting.
Well it is simple. Davis can beat Reyes at playing pool, but Reyes will never be able to beat Davis at snooker.
But respect to both.
Ridiculous title. Where did Steve Davis say that?
He played on the same pool stage as Efren, whereas Efren wouldn't even get in the door of a snooker competition.
of a local under 14s tournament too
It's a efren fanboy channel. What do you expect
davis can only snooker at elite level and no other billiards discipline. efren can play several billiards disciplines at the elite level. he is far more talented than davis for that reason.
@@quickstep2408
That's wrong.
Davis won the pool trickshot world championship three times.
He even won against Reyes himself in 9 ball world championship 2000 where he reached the quarter finals.
I don't know, if Reyes played elite level snooker, but I couldn't find information for this.
And I think the difference between 8 ball 9 Ball and pool trickshots is less the difference between 9ball and snooker.
So I think being elite in snooker and 9ball is more difficult than being elite in different pool variations.
It is like asking Novak Djokovic playing football and Messi playing tennis
No it's not, what a silly comment. Both are cue sports.
I remember when i first saw this match where everyone was praising Steve for his popularity and also skills. But Efren did open the eyes of the world that people from Asia is also capable of achieving such success.
It would be interesting to see what Efren could do on a snooker table. In this instance, there is no shame whatsoever in Steve coming off second best. 🇦🇺
I agree with you about how Efren would be at playing snooker l would imagine that he would be able to play with the best of the best players and be more amazing than most other players but that’s just my personal opinion
@@dougmikels6504 Pool snooker are so similar if he had time to practice he would likely be among the best in the world at that as well.
@@darkcircle899 That's a big assumption. Pool and snooker are less similar than you might think - the table is more than twice the size, the balls are larger and the pockets narrower and shaped so that they are unforgiving. Just because snooker players can do pretty well at pool does not mean that the reverse is true - have you ever wondered why they never attempt it in public.
@@qman2261 I know the differences between pool and snooker. Someone who has learned to be accurate with a sick and billiard ball can apply that to any billiard game. Yes Snooker would be different and require a little adjusting but let's not act like it's something entirely foreign to a pool player. Once they learn the rules getting the rest will just be up to practice which will go much faster because they are already good at a very similar game.
Davies is an absolute legend. One of the greatest to ever hold a cue!
"Interesting" you should say that
@@warmonkey lol, Steve "interesting" Davies. But away from the table he was an easy going and fun guy.
Why do you insist on calling Davis “Davies”? 😂
@@MikeLickorish Hiyaaaaa why so picky 😂
@@stuartrobinson5111 Did I touch a nerve? It’s very weird to see Davis referred to as Davies. His name is literally in the title and on the screen; not the sharpest tool!
Both were brilliant at their best, but pool on these tables is so much easier than snooker. The table is obviously much smaller but also the pockets are huge in comparison to a snooker table.
..yes but still Steve missed some pots he should probably have gotten. I wonder is the cue ball size different relative to the other balls on the table in pool compared to snooker, that would make the angles when potting slightly different
One fantastic player and another a GOAT.
Great match. Reyes is not from this planet. I'm in total awe. I wish he gave lessons.
Hahaha loved the bank manager joke from the commentator.
I have discovered two things - Davis is the most polite, perfect professional snooker player and does not take high risk, on the other hand Erfan, the magician has exeptional, unexpected playing ability, but the only problem is sometimes he takes high risk and fails, which lead him losing the game.
I cannot imagine that Efren Reyes likes the way he and his opponents get portrayed in this cut and paste type of video's.
Efren is an exceptional pool player and so are many others in history. Davis is a snooker player, show me some Efren games on the snooker table against snooker pro's. Only very few pool players dare to play against snooker pro's. Many Snooker players dare to play pool pro's.
Two of the best, each a a different game, on different tables. The only true measure is for each to have a home game. 🇨🇦
Have you seen Reyes play Snooker?? He’s literally average club player level.
Lol 😂 that's why the pockets on the pool table are huge !
But then he still loose.

Nicly edited and we'll narrated. Good production brother, keep up the good work.
Let's be honest Steve Davis was one hell of a pool player. Although for his break instead of lifting his cue he should've went down with it for more of an impact
Steve did extremely well against Efren. No disrespect but I doubt Efren could even have a 50 or more break in snooker.
In a 2019 tweet, seven time Snooker World Champion Ronnie O' Sullivan said that Reyes was "the only person to ever to [sic] out hustle me on a snooker table. (copied from Wikipedia) Sounds like disrespect to me.

Steve Davis number 1? Yes 20 years ago. Now challenge todays number 1 snooker player, then play them at snooker.
and this tournament was in 1999, when he was in his prime
why are you crying
this was steve davis's first pool tournament. not too shabby to get into the final on his first go. but also, he beat reyes the following year. not bad at all for someone taking up a hobby after dominating in his exceptional career in snooker.
ha also promoted the ever loving shit out of pool. steve davis taking part put more money, a lot more money, into everyones pocket.
Steve Davis is one of the nicest people to ever play in any sport in any time. There isn't a time or place he would ever say he'd dominate anyone. Props to Efren for taking advantage of the game but the score really does paint a brutal picture in a close match.
Steve Davies was well past his prime, he was big in the 80s. He also joined a different sport on invitation with minimal notice.
Excuses.
It’s not excuses. He was invited to play as a guest as a semi retired snooker player. I would like to see some pool players try snooker, oh, none have ever tried. But Europe has one the Mosconi cup using snooker players 🤔

We Are So Fortunate To Watch The GREAT & EXTRAORDINARY EFREN REYES...May Our GOD Bless Him FOREVER...!!!
Steve gifted Efren a couple of racks with some simple misses. Efren is the greatest to pick up a pool cue - Steve is one of the greatest to pick up a snooker cue but was well in decline in this contest. I'd love to have seen Alex Higgins give this a go - heard some great bar room stories about Alex Higgins on the pool table.
Now get theMaster to play snooker against the best Sullivan Selby etc
Higgins did give it a go. 1995 Mosconi Cup. All on youtube.
Steve beat him 9-8 when Reyes was the World Champion.. Ever seen Reyes play snooker? You’ll have a laugh at how sh*t he is…
You lied in your title typically
I love how Efren smiles and takes his turn calmly😂
These disrespectful clickbait video titles are kinda cringe...
Efren - "You play snooker, i play 8ball/9ball/10ball/3 cushion/1 pocket. We are not the same. You are all beneath me."
Snooker is the game ALL THE OTHERS ARE PLAY.
I bet you Davis made more money than Reyes. Lol
Steve can play pool so well but Effren can’t play snooker that well

Both players respected each other, and Davis is the only player at that time who could beat Reyes fair and square. Didn't happen in this game but everybody agreed on this point. Davis's style was unpredictable to pool players, and his cue ball control made him deadly. Davis was very adaptable
Wow 🤯 what a great playe. Shout out from the UK
Wata go Steve! You gave that match away. Good game Efren.
Let’s see Efren take on Ronnie or Judd. He wouldn’t stand a chance!
What Americns think is great and what the rest of the World think is great are two different things. I'd love to see Reyes on a snooker table. He'd get laughed at.
Isn't it basically the same game but work more balls?
@@jaywp2343 The balls are smaller, the pockets are much smaller and the table is 12ft by 6ft or 72 square feet. A pool table is 8ft 4 by 4ft 2, which is less than half the playing area of a snooker table. So, no, it is not basically the same game with more balls.
@@jaywp2343 Exactly! Like a Fender Stratocaster is like a ukelele but with 2 more strings.
Pretty much every pro snooker player in the top 32 would beat ANY pool player 7 to zero in a snooker match but give them a close game a pool contest. I'm not sure what this means - snooker is harder than pool - maybe. Snooker requires more experience - possibly. I wouldn't doubt Efren could have been a great snooker player - but he'd need at least 2 years practice to give Steve a mildly competitive contest
I used to play pool regularly,and then i tried snooker.
Snooker is way more difcult.
Snooker tables are huge, so a bit off on the intended direction means you'll miss the pocket...

Is there a video showing the snooker match between them on a full-size table?
1 match Cherrypicked! Now type in ‘Steve Davis beats TOP pool player’ and check those results? This guy held the most watched snooker final in snooker history, he’s a legend of the game. Now, remember guys, pool and snooker are 2 entirely different games. Put a top pool player up against a top snooker player and see what happens? 99/100 the snooker player will prevail. Yet in pool, a snooker player has more chance of winning than a pool player has of winning at snooker. Snooker is a MUCH harder game than pool, by a LONG way!
Thanks for the comment our dear subscriber! YeaH
Too right. Snooker is god-level compared to pool. Efren is an absolute legend in pool but the only way he'd get into the crucible is if he serves the drinks.
if they played alternative games of pool and snooker and you were backing efren i promise you,You would go broke.
How about O’Solivan and Reyes on snooker table??
I've seen many Reyes shorts in passing and thought he was invincible. I thought this would be embarrassing for Davis tbh but after watching this it seems 7-2 was extremely flattering. At one point Davis would have been up 4-1 but for some poor potting.
Obviously he is going to be better at his own discipline but I think when he said 'and I got lucky' there was some truth to it.
Snooker players would never 'deliberately foul'
