- Efren Reyes -The greatest player of all time meets another pool magician from England. He was once a former world number one in Europe. A great player who also has 9-ball and 10-ball championship titles. Does he have the real magic to defeat the Filipino Pinoy Magician? A really great match turning like a roller coaster but eventually the best man wins! Lets watch the master turn his craft into magical artistry! #efrenbatareyeshighlights #efrenbatareyestournaments #efrenreyeskickshots #legendefrenreyes #10balls #poolchampionship #9ball
Efren is indeed a legend. When you google pool players his name is always on top of the list. His talent is a gift, a very rare talent of precision and accuracy. I wish Philippines supported him by having an organization to train more young people to pass on his talents. I can’t believe at his age he still plays so good. No eyeglasses or hands trembling? Hands down to him
I agree Serena...I don't think Willy m. and fats played at this age. The shots he makes are just unbelievable. have never seen the shots he could make...A true legend!!!
Statue Worthy 40 years ago? No, From Birth.
Phillipines produce alot of very good players. Its practically thier national sport.
Well a gift is something that is given. He earned it by working hard and practicing all the time. Everyone knows and loves him in his home town/country. He even has bought pool tables for youth and plays regularly with the younger generation to teach and motivate them. Hope you have a wicked awesome day friend!
Efren still a G.O.A.T. His name is one of the legend in pool history.
@user-kv9nf4oe2c for history efran grew up playing the game at 12 I think from watching CZcams lol..he's a legend and will remain a pool legend that everyone worldly knows
There can be only one. Sorry Chris, you were amazing, but Efren is the real Magician, always will be. No excuses for Efren, Melling won this fair and square, and played great. I doubt, however, that Reyes would have missed those two shots if he was a little younger, 64 is ridiculous to be playing anywhere near this level, but the eyes and the hands, you can't hide age there. The difference between those two at this point was consistency, and Melling was a machine in that aspect. Talent always fades, but Reyes still had the mind and could still make the ridiculous shots. Youth shall be served, though.
What makes Efren a true billiards master is his graceful but powerful strokes..also I never saw him shot a jump shot.
Here is one for you then... czcams.com/video/E6KOO0KYINo/video.html
I saw him said that he does not believe in jump shot.
There is no need to compare as both are extremely ggood players it is just that the goat efren always able to conjure something magical when the odds are aginst him that what makes him so magical. Thr number of times it happens in his high level games and he manage to get him self out of the sticky situation is really incredible and really once in a life time. My best moment of him doing that is really when he is against the pearl, high stake game hill to hill and he manage to pot last 3 incredible shot in that situations is almost impossible.
These 2 Magician have the awe and respect of the world pool elite, Efren will always be The Magician.
👍👍👍🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏
Two great players. I enjoy watching them both.
Both greats of pool.. In the end has to be a winner.. Doesn't take anything away from Effren he is still the Greatest that ever held a cue.. Close second comes Chris Melling..their vision in the game is unmeasurable.
Two fantastic players meet. It was great to watch. I think Efren and Chris would have great respect for each other. On the day the man who made the fewer mistakes won.
Well said!
Efren's madness is a clean sweep
The UK magician is only the magician in the UK… Efren Reyes is the Magician world wide. 🎉🌎🌍🌏🗺️ that’s facts! Love both players but let’s be real here. All pool fans know this!😂
👍 CORRECT ! 💯
🇵🇭
Melling plays English, American and Chinese pool. AND snooker. Eften wouldn't be able to compete in snooker.
No one who jumps a ball can be compared with the Magician ( EFREN REYES)… he never jumps a ball he always calculate the shot by hitting the rails .. that is the reason of his nickname and the reason he will be always the best
Please don't forget Rudolf Wanderone, the greatest rail banker who touched a que.
He literally jumped the ball in this video?
I saw a video efren using jump cue so stop whining
@@dormamo6917 tell me how often is efren using jump cue than those guys did? Well many americans do always use jump cue when they brain stop for a moment calculating rails than reyes lol. Silly american
@@hannahbanana6026 i saw him many times already
This level of play is always appreciated by really true fans...
Let us keep in mind that Efron is almost twice the other guy's age. I think Efron is still the #1 magician. Sooner or later age kind of creeps up on ya. I think it played a factor in this match.
I was there during his prime.. He was the best all around player, not sure he was even top 5 playing 9-ball.. Varner, Hall, Sigel, Strickland and Archer were all better..
Efren couldn’t break the balls well enough to beat those guys..
I actually saw Efren decline a money game with Buddy Hall, when Buddy was 47 and Efren was 35.. It was about 10 seconds after I saw a 25 year old Bustamante decline the exact same offer.. lol..
Nobody beat Buddy, and everybody knew it..
@@jacobjones5269 I disagree, Efron will always be the greatest.
@@chickbowdrie4750
Eh, I have him at #4 on the all time list, but higher than all his contemporaries.. 9-ball is a flawed game, IMO, because of the random break shot.. He is definitely the best all around player of the last half century..
But is he better than Greenleaf, Mosconi, and Lassiter?.. No.. As good?.. maybe, but not better..
Back in the day, I sometimes thought of myself as a pretty decent pool player. But after watching these guys, nah, not even close.
Watching Efren videos always makes me want to play pool.
One of the best matches I've seen. It's not even the shots that are amazing just the way these guys control that cue ball. Sheesh
I can tell you one thing about Melling that impressed me, was his run out a year ago or so. One of the best I've ever seen. I've seen plenty,
Mr.Reyes is still my favorite.
I think Efren is always entertaining to watch
i remember chris back in the 90s playing for west yorkshire . he has always been a great player .
ang ganda ng video.. it"s so nice to watch Mister Bata play...PERO ANG DALDAL MASYADO NG NAG COCOMENTATE...
Even in defeat Mr. Reyes is an honorable sportsman. Excellent video, as always...I love your commentary, thanks! 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Subscribe!
Efren can’t win them all, he still played very well. He’s still the greatest in my book!
Please don't call Melling the magician. *There is only one "Magician" and that is Efren "Bata" Reyes.*
Yup brother
Idiot, this filipino havent met lot of pro players shut tfkof
@@70bidadari48, you out yourself as a #bigot because you mentioned DeLuna's race. #Bigots like you are all talk, no action!
Well...but he lost this one... didn't he?
Agree
Two great players making it look easy to bad someone has to lose much respect for both
I appreciate that you highlight other great players from around the world by sharing their accomplishments even though this channel is dedicated to Efren Reyes.
Respect to Chris and the great game he played! However, one can't help but see that he was not playing the Efren we have all known. Age has taken its toll. But with that 4 ball he showed that he still has the kick of the G.O.A.T.!
BTW, there is only one magician...and we all know who that Filipino is.
Good point
Shaun Murphy is nicknamed 'The Magician' too. I guess there are a lot of magicians.
It’s so relaxing and mind blowing at the same time, watching a Master Supreme Magician do work their magic!👏👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it!
This Was The Greatest Pool Match I Ever Watched Even Though I Hate He Lost He Was Fearless He Wasn’t Afraid Of No Shot No Matter The Risk I Just Love Efren Game It’s So Inspiring
Any one who defeats Efren once or twice never be called "magician" because he himself is the only MAGICIAN in the whole Universe.
there is actually 15 universe. the magician belongs to universe 7. and nothing can replace efren. americans give him the name the magician. not her mother or hes father or any other related to him.
@@agtv8039 huh?
It's amazing to see both Efren's and Chris' creativity
This was epic. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That's why he is the best. Don't be afraid, always hold yourself strong. If you know that you're good at 1 thing and one thing only, it's better than being good at a 1000 things.
All that I can say is there is no way no matter how good you are that you can win all of them
That's exactly what sports is all about.
Todays era: If you called former #1 British eight Ball but misses simple shot 2:44 3:54
Reyes era: well done🤫
🐐💨
u call that ball cut simple shot? where your brain man?
Ne question lang ako? Pareho kayo ng background sound at video editing ni "usapang bilyar" vlogger duon sa vid niya patungkol sa laban Reyes vs Martin which was just recently uploaded?😀
Both guys played very well. I wonder if Efren would have beat him had he been in his prime. Either way it was a great match.
As long as eye sight does not deteriorate pool pros should actually get better with age because of the sheer experience.
The game was fantastic but there is only one magician Efren Bata Reyes even though he lost that game he is still our G.O.A.T🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Respect
Efren is a showman like no other, and not at all boring like most others...
Chris Melling can be the new magician. Efren has already ascendes to Isekai level warlock status.
Chris Melling is not just popular the world over but none the less The Filipino Magician showed his greatness. The European Magician is as good as Reyes in terms of bank and kick shots that is why he earned the title Magician.
Masterful placement on the 3rd rack
“Magician”, huh?
There it can be only one!
“Highlander” quote
That excibition game is s heartily given by Efren to melling. Efren need good betting.
These guys don’t miss
Nobody can compare w/Efren,he has proven more than enough championship whether its rotation,8 ball,9 ball,10 balls,or snooker.😁😆🤣🥰😂🤩😍😜
GOAT::: Efren Reyes!!!
Ci Efren na walang katapat..
3:55😮???
I’ve seen Melling make shots like he’s controlling the ball with a wireless remote, yet he misses this simple shot🤔
Correction: Mr Efren Reyes is the World Magician.
Not anymore. Chris melling is now the new magician.
Nahh only in england but efren still the world magician..
@@dormamo6917 melling is not the Real Magician LOL. Efren earned that title decades ago. 🤣
There's only ONE magician and it's EFREN REYES
Efren bata Reyes is human after all. I think this is only a regular qualifying round of the match. Proven facts that Efren's name would slways end up at the championship matches & would even emerged as the champion after all. That is why he is the uncontested GOAT in the billiard pool world !!! 😱👍👍
When melling's tournament title and hof count catches up with efren then maybe he can be called the magician.
I’m glad you showed the man’s Achilles heel… The break shot.. lol.. If Efren didn’t break like a girl he would be the GOAT..
Nobody can match Efren Reyes. He is the only magician. When he faced defeat, it is only the matter of reality that no one real perfect.
In my book Efren is still the greatest pool player of all time ❤❤
Good game i watching thanks for share
Thanks for the visit
He might be on the tour for snooker (maybe, I don't think he is) but he certainly isn't a professional he'd be a journeyman or good amateur...
This is a great video... thx 4 making me laugh!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Chris has phenomenal accuracy and a use of rails which allows him to run tables that others couldn't. Reyes is still the GOAT, but age caught up to him in this close match.
It’s amazing how so many matches can easily have been said to come down to one shot. Here is no different, if efren gets back to the table it could easily be over for Chris, but credit Chris for understanding that fact and still holding on strong .
I wouldn't say it was age.. more mental and just playing someone who was better that day.
Reyes is the goat
Bingo, dice el comentariasta, como si no conociera quién esta jugando... Es que una corrida de banda lo hace igual o mejor de bien, es el Mago, yo para mí desgracia y con mi poco nivel, me parezco más a Melling a la hora de ver cómo hacer cada jugada. Esta partida la pierde pero nunca aparenta Efrén la gran determinación que tiene con ese aspecto desliñado, jejejejeje. Siempre se tenía que quitar el la marca de salida de la mesa y ningún juez la retiraba, eso no me gustó. Un simple error en este nivel y se acabó, cuando cometes dos o tres... Bien por Melling.
Bingo, says the commentator, as if he didn't know who is playing... It's just that a band run does it just as well or better, it's the Magician, unfortunately for me and with my low level, I look more like Melling than time to see how to make each move. He loses this game but Efrén never shows the great determination he has with that disheveled appearance, hehehehehe. You always had to remove the starting mark from the table and no judge removed it, I didn't like that. A simple mistake in this level and it's over, when you make two or three... Well done for Melling.
There's not much to say except when two champions match up it comes down to who makes the fewest mistakes, plus who gets the best of any lucky rolls. In this case Chris showed why he has been the champion at this particular game - he makes it look so easy. For a student of the game one can see both players hitting with great speed control and great aim for pocketing balls. Efren's usual ability to avoid unforced errors left him a couple of times, and at this level of play that is all it takes to lose a match..
Do consider the age?
Effren cue ball control is more scary this trick shots...🥶🥶🥶🥶
Who noticed Afren tried to re practice the 8 ball he missed at the corner pocket after the
He really wanted to do that correction real quick
A true legend 💯❤️❤️❤️
It shows you can’t win them all but with over 100 major tournament wins he sure did try
Ofcourse. No harm in trying.
I won! oh I had my mind on the next tournament and I'm 70 and when I get beat I don't think of who beat me but how I try to win with the roll of the balls!
“Here! Go get yourself a small bag of fairy dust then come back here to play, go!
“Magician” my S”
Di sini, Efren Reyes ketemu "Lawan sejati." Mungkin beda usia dr Melling, juga berpengaruh
Chris: kick 8,5 and cue ball position 8. Reyes: kick 8 and cue ball posiition 9. Magic: Chris 7 and Reyes 9...
what's the laughing sample at 4:20? I recognize it but can't place it.
If tournament did not encourage hard breaks far more interesting game! And for Me as well!
Efren did his best, but sometimes your best was just not enough to beat someone who was clearly better than you. But it was still a very good match, despite being outmatched he at least still put up a good fight against a very strong and better opponent. He needs to be proud of what he did, and not be discouraged.
The real magician is our proud pilipino Efren Bata Reyes.
This was a good match! Congrats to Melling. But it’d be a good thing to see who would win in a best of 3 games of a “race to nine”? And that would be a good barometer to measure who’s better and have more a decisive evident take
@Legend Efren Reyes, how did you learn all your pool vocab?
Well plaid by both, Efren jus had some bad shots and in pool its crucial to be on your game. Jus gos to show even the best can't win them all. But his opponent was no slouch an jus had the better game that match.
C ' mon, the guy is twice his age and has arthritis and back pain. In his prime. The European magician would not stand a chance. Would Cristiano ronaldo have a chance against pele physical skills prime? Not at all
There is only one Magician and that is Efren 'Bata' Reyes
Jump ball is not a magician tricks. Anyways both players respect
U try jumping balls without practice what he is doing and what efren is doing is equally magicial in our eyes coz we do not play this game to earn a living which we do not feel the need to out in an huge amount of effort to understand and play this game efren play alot of magicjal shots not really becoz he is born with the talent he is born with huge commitment to allow his mind to concentrate and keep playing this game and training to reach where he is now and same for all his opponent the only difference is that efren is bless with a great mind to view the game in a wider range goes the same as chess players. U cannot really train ur mind to work like that if u r not bless with a great brain.
Entertaining game
Congrats Chris milling❤
A LOT of salty Efren fans commenting on this video...haha
Melling beat Efren by ball jumping...the oldest trick in the book. It is a risky move, but it is a magic trick that beat Efren and caught him off guard I could tell.
However, I agree Melling should really change his nickname to something else like...THE WIZARD since it has more British stereotype...it sounds cooler too. 🙂
Efrin is the only Magician!! GOAT!!
Can't win ever game you are the man
rematch again milling and efren bata reyes
At he's time(prime) .When all things looks unfavorable, When odds are not with him that's the time he makes something out of nothing and that's the reason why he was titled the Magician.
Magician don't try jump ball
Both player is good but there is only one magician and that is the goat efren bata reyes
There is only 1 Magician. The G>O>A>T from the Philippines.
Iv'e never heard of Melling.
Can you use a different noise before Efren hits the cue?
Efren Reyes is the Manny Pacquaio of billiards/pool as to Manny is the Michael Jordan of boxing. In short, "ThE GOATs"...at least for me!
The best pool player in the world🇵🇭
Ok . Wht I saw. The way of the play due to balls position , Efren the magician. As he had said in his coment. How well he played depend on his luck.
I don’t understand how or why melling would want to be called someone else’s nickname.
Me too.
So people could mistaken him as the GOAT 🤣
Ralph souquet is the best player ever and he is Reyes daddy record speaks for itself
Skills alone is not enough to beat Efren. You need intellegence ang magic
I can thought
Many people tell this funny guy with funny voice not to comment, but he still talk and think he is agreat commentator 😂😂😂😂
Chris mullin is almost classic like efren but not quite. Much respect for Christ but their can only be one magician.
