what the mouth did'nt know is that efren is more pressured in interviews than in an actual game...
Exactly underrated comment
Efren he even have a schedule to take a bath. So dont make his time waisted .he pocuse in playing pool nbilyard.
@@h.adnanabdurahim261 pocuse? What word is that? 😂😂i think you wanna say is focus? Am i right?
Tru
@@annedongpannottv9728 Also his spelling in Wasted is Waisted 🤣
I just want to suggest to avoid or limit putting unecessary sounds (e.g. laughs) and picture / videos. I like the narration and the rawness of the game itself.
Maybe he's just avoiding CZcams's copyright.
@@akodawsikeith can't they just use background music that's for fair use
Its so repetitive that the video became cringy
It's funny though. I like it
@@akodawsikeith Maybe, but it is too much.
When I was a kid, I wondered why Efren Reyes is in the textbooks.. I mean, I know he was good but I thought it's too much to put him in textbooks.. I never realized that he's not just good, he's the best player in the world!
❤❤❤
I used to go to my grandfather every summer and he used to play with Efren and he even taught my uncle how to play. They will always play pool while drinking beers or sometimes just talk. I was little back then and Efren was like that drunk uncle that always made the room happy(He'll always give us small kids money when it's Christmas, it's a tradition we call it "Aginaldo" ).
Sad that my grandpa died years ago and we had to sell grandpa house but Efren still has that smile and his kind heart.
Your lucky to have watched him play your grandpa must have been a good player
I have played people who hung around the pool circuit. One would rack for fats and had pictures with all the top players, men and women.
He played Irwin crain once and got beat.
He was no slouch played him quite a bit he was in his 80s and pretty much held his own.
He would go to moose clubs on the small tables and do well,winning the majority of the time.
I have a friend who played pro, for cash many years until he did not feel it was right hustling pool.
We sit 1 and 1 and has called me to play.
I'm currently looking for a new stick,but I haven't had time to go and try it out.
Currently, I'm using a Carum stick that I should not have played so much with it.
Now, if I use my old stick, I'm putting way to much English on cue ball
Seigal is painful to watch
If seigal would shut up he may just win some
Efren seems like such a super nice and pleasant guy!! Can't stop smiling, saying humble things and giving respect to everyone else! One of my new favorite athletes of all time!
Efren reyes is a very humble person and down to 🌎....he respect all his opponent..proud to be filipino..efren is my most favorite player of all time..the G.O.A.T
@@amyroche4331 Mine also....
That's because he came from humble beginnings and most important he has inherent good Filipino traits.
he is like jakie chan .. smilling always ..
My grandfather met him once and he always tell me that efren is the most humble man he met
Efren's breakfast is 9 balls, lunch is 8 balls and dinner is rotation. Mike played pool for 40y while Efren is living it for 40y.
Other way around hes breakfast lunch and dinner is rotation and hes snacks in the middle is 9 ball and eight ball that's the fact he mentioned it so many time if you want to learn play and play rotation
This is the literal meaning between playing and living..🤣
Mike beat Efren Many Times over the years
@@garygwinn5818 who's Erin.
@@BesGaming09 Efren, I know well, I started watching him play on Accu-Stats VHS Tapes in 1991. Mike Sigel, was the best player in the World in the Drcade of the 80's. Mike Sigel was ALWAYS a better Straight Pool player than Efren Reyes. He was also the winner of 101 major Titles in professional pool, as well as willing to play anyone for large sums of $. Mike Sigel was out of pool for a ling time when this match happened. Efren was playing pool every single day. When they asked Efren "Who was the player you respected the most", He said "Mike Sigel"
Efren is not bothered by the noise. The magician can play 100% even there's a live band in the background.
How do you not love Efren?? So humble to be what many consider (including myself) the greatest player of all time.
The editing feels like one of those chinese infomercials.
yep it is not funny at all
True. Very annoying
Agreed
Not even, its like one of those chinese facebook vids
I find it hilarious
Bro, this isn't a match, we're just watching Efren play practice 😭😭
How could you not love such a humble champion?
when you hear Efrens The Magician it's Like Goosebumps 😮😮😮.
What's heartbreaking in this sport is that you can't do anything while watching your defeat.
Yeah but On the day Sigel could barely hit the white ball
He talked is that not enough?
You can't pot balls while sitting in your chair
His talking and ego just makes me want him to lose
That's life
The lesson is: don't focus on beating your opponent. Focus on playing the game..
It doesn't matter if you're the better player.
Focus to win not by stepping on your opponent but by improving yourself.
You really don't have an opponent. You don't have to compete. You don't have to be envious on another's success. Just enjoy the game. That already made you a winner.
Very true po. Love this comment. 🥰
This is it. This comment here.. Everybody can learn from this match and apply it to whatever game one compete in. Amazing example of perfect sportsmanship..
Thanks!
Very true, thank you for this
While Sigel is annoying as hell, he caught some seriously bad breaks. He didn't help himself on the couple of opportunities did get either. You can't do that when you are playing the GOAT. He just didn't know it yet. He though HE was the GOAT. Efren's control of the cue ball and mapping of his progressions is like no other I've ever seen. He makes it look effortless. Put all that together with his easy going, humble nature, how can you not love this guy?
“He’s joking on the outside but he’s dying on the inside”! Haha best commentary line I’ve heard in the whole match
dude for someone making efren videos , you have a lot to learn from him, especially the humble part, I'm a efren fan but your commentary just make me wanna root for the other guy
+1
Totally agree
Facts
Yeeeeep
Agreed 100%
Efren is an absolutely beautiful man. He has a quiet demeanor and is humble as can be. He’s taken the majority of his earnings and sent them back home to take care of family members and educations of relatives. He’s not selfish, but has a massively generous heart. I just recently started to watch these pool tournaments and come to absolutely love this man. No bull crap, just a killer pool master that doesn’t brag. How can you not love and respect a man like that in today’s world.
Super SKILLED and TALENTED and yet SUPER HUMBLE 😇 This is SO FUN to watch, Pinoy's predictable reactions and comments 👏🏼💪🇵🇭
Reyes is just the true living legend among the legends 😌👍🏻
Legend status.
the sport attitude of efren reyes is like manny pacquiao. always smiling! 😄
true
Just don't mix it with politics. Hehe. Im bit disappointed on Manny.
@@BesGaming09 I have all my respects to Manny when it comes to boxing but him on politics I can't even stomach it.
dont ever compare the magician to that guy, if Pacquiao lost he have tons of reasons to tell. when efren lost he just accepts and then move on
@@buttman69420 it may have but not tons lol
I have a friend who happens to live nearby where Efren usually plays, in a bar with a pool. He said that Efren usually plays like how he casually plays with his friends, well with an addition of beer on the sides lol. He's very down to earth and he's the type of guy you'd want to drink beer with.
Me too.
Awesome
He actually my dad =)
Just not play against 😂
Yeah, unlike the mouth who seemed like your typical insecure guy whos lost his hair and now absolutely cant take a loss, even when he's playing cards with his children.
His loud mouthing is also a sign of that lack of confidence, while Efren just smiles all the time. You see who got the real confidence, charisma and is the true sigma male Chad thunder-cock here?
Yep, its Efren and he just sparkles with charisma and a humble attitude. These are the people who are the best people to have a beer with and ofc to have as your friend.
If Efren was my childhood friend, I know I would habe lucked out caus he just shows it even with his body language!
It felt so good se him win, actually humiliate this loud mouth while not wven talking trash ONCE , actually just smiling at him , even when he was talking trash right at him!
I mean... wow, he's emulating jesus here in terms of being humble!
What an amazing guy really1
I went to watch the game after this video, Mike actually did quite well in this tournament. Sure it was below his usual standard( I assume), but for someone who was off and took longer to focus on getting the job done, he really gave it what he could...with that said...Efren is a BEAST of pool player.
Dude, Mike didn't win any rack. How the hell did he play well? Stop defending the defendless.
Mike is a jerk, crying through the whole games. Talk too much couldn't walk. Stop giving this crybabies excuses.
You should have shown that long 8-ball shot Efren made to win one of the games in this match. It was awesome and it really should have been in this video
Perfect rivalry between the legendary mouth and the legendary magician.
😅😅😅
Efren NEVER WANTS HIS OPPONENTS to Get TIRED 😩! So He just let them sit 🪑 back and relax throughout the tournament 😂😂😂😂😂😂
i thought his nickname is "The child" as in, Efren "Bata" Reyes
@@somebodystolemygoddamncarr520 In this case, it is younger. There are two Efren Reyes playing billiard in his province. The Magician is younger. Hence, he is nicknamed "Bata"
Yes..Two legendary hahaha
I like your casting, your explanation helps us non-billiard players know what's happening but I advise you to tone down with the editing (sound effects, meme clips), the game itself is interesting there's no need to put those.
You can always watch the real video. I like the edits just for giggles
@@mef12727 lol.... Why is he watching something he knows he doesnt like.....?
@@mef12727 I agree. I'm a simple person, I laugh when I see meme.
True
@@BesGaming09 and some people don't find it funny.. its a bad attitude to make fun of your opponent in a sport. Even Efren would not be happy with this..
please upload more HD of this 🥰🥰🥰 I would love to what this EVERYDAY 😍😍😍
I just love watching him EFREN play, he has amazing demeanor and very humble. He is calmness makes him very unique person. ❤️🙏🏼
mike: i've been playing pool for 40 years
efren: i need luck to play
😂😂😂
By luck rather than skill
I played billiard in the philippines ang hustler use to say those words against beginners to lure them playing with them.
Mike, underestimated Efren. You played for 40 years, Efren living on the pool table for life.....lol. the legend. Next time don't belittling the Asian. Karma comes to you.....lol
@@imusmaximus6754 yes, he was sleeping on the pool table when he was young, learning while watching players.👍
Luck is no excuse hehe
When you grew up gambling most of your money in pool, being nervous on a tournament which you have nothing to loose is piece of cake🤣..
ahahaha truth!
This is the ultimate manifestation of “let my game” do the talk 😍😁🤩😂
0:48 this is proof that Filipinos are humble
Mike makes this game interesting
Efren makes it look so easy
Efren is amazing and deserves it ALL but the editing and “shots” taken at Sigel was a bit much almost like bad sportsmanship from an obv Efren fan or just pure hater of Sigel - well done Efren! Amazing talent and game as always 👏
I agree. He made Sigel look bad in this video. But, oh well.
I agree, video is crude-- not entertaining.
this video should’ve focused on Efren performance but instead it was a 10years old trash talk of the opponent. awful watch tainted Efren performence really imo
It’s like it’s edited by an adult with a 14 year old brain
ZOINSKS!! ARROOOOOGAH! WIBBLEDY WIBBLEDY!!
"I Think"......Efren is such a humble person, an idol, that nothing would make him prouder than to be "Beaten" by an upcoming player of high caliber pool. Efren often plays at small events and halls that he grew up in sleeping on the tables....I think he would "Be Honored" to pass on the stick to one as him.
HE IS A WORKING MAN'S IDOL.....
Humility is cool. Look at the Magician doing his god like shots 👏🏻 The mouth is truly a chatterbox 🤣
"Those who exalt themselves shall be humbled and those who humble themselves shall be exalted."
This is what this game was all about.
Amen.
Most profound our Efeŕen will néver bost on this match Why?cause his oponent never had nor ever will have that quality of play ever
Amen!!!
I mean sigel beat efren a lot more than efren beat sigel.
like most americans - your ego is the problem. when you sort that out - you can come and join the rest of us. cheers.
For Mike “The Mouth”, it was The International Pool Tour grand final; for Efren “Bata”, it was a Saturday night game.
Exactly
And literally Mike could only done on his match is to open his mouth and say words not actions.m
Oh horseshit. Mike Sigel is also one of the greatest pool player in history. He played great to get there and had a bad run against a great player. Happened to Efren throughout his career too.
@@SexNoDrugsRocknRoll efren is just way better
@@SexNoDrugsRocknRoll still, it's just a chill saturday night for efren nothing changed lol
Efren Reyes is a humble person. He is a living legend!
In an interview, Reyes said Segel is his main idol, so he came prepared.... By rack 7, Segel was clearly demoralized... Respect for both legends..
Efren would never laugh at his opponents . This channel disrespects Efren, his opponents and the game.
Come on everyone here watching knows Efren .
His "incessant need" to add comedy ends up being more disrespectful than funny. Its embarrasing to think, as a filipino himself, he did not understood how Efren respects everyone - including his opponents.
I absolutely understand where you're coming from but I have to disagree with you in this case. That guy was nothing but rude through the whole thing. Bragged about all his years playing, talked through almost every single shot Efren took. I'm more upset that the reffs didn't say anything to him about being quiet or being disqualified. I've seen them do it in snooker and every other game I've watched. Why does uncle Bob get a pass just cuz he came out the retirement home to play? This guy's a joke as far as I'm concerned. I'm not even gonna brag about my skills on a table but just from watching him, I can almost 100% garontee you I could beat Mr Sigel in a match. I play pretty decent under pressure, especially if the opponent does nothing but talk crap and can't even back it up. He deserved this imo
@@mad7medieval7
I’m sure your a very good pool player, Mike is better than what you see here, the prize money and the fact that he’s playing against the goat 🐐 is probably why he’s choking and talking so much.
@@mad7medieval7
Now that I watch the whole thing I see what you’re saying, lol it gets worse.
There is a great difference between playing a sport and mastering a sport.
More like, the difference between mastering a sport and actually being a genius at a sport.
You guys are trying too hard to stand out, these are both masters of their craft.
@@tobymarston31 Yeah, one mastered the art of talking while the other played like it was nothing
@@nightwng Oh yeah, lets just ignore that Sigel is 10 times world champion in the sport. He can only talk, you right, never learned how to even play.
@@QvistgaardFaaborg Who...? Oh yeah The Mouth.
Efren is the golden guy at all times, I love his plays.
Whenever I want to get in a good mood I watch an Efren vid or listen to Bach.
Mike : “been playing pool for 40 years”
Efren: “pool table was our dining set”
nope it was his bed. and humans spend a third of their lives sleeping.
Potek HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
Pool table is his bed
Watching this again just to have a good laugh,observe Efren's facial expression when Sigel talks too much,he was smiling all the way maybe because he thought Sigel was complimenting him for the flawless strokes & perfect cue ball control..or he is just smiling because he have no idea what Sigel is babbling about..Efren only said he got lucky at the end of the video,how on earth does someone win 80 international titles based on luck?humble humble champion you are Efren Reyes
efren understands english just he doesn't speak it as well
Mil, u r too smart that u think Efren cannot understand English. When the ocean is silent, means it is deep/smart. When it is too noisy, means it is shallow/less smart.
relax lang kayo mga tsong, he means well, peace. 💚
He says that because he is cool with any outcome so long as gets to play. 😂
Of this 20th of Jan 2024 I have to watch many videos of the magician and am impressed ❤ love you sir 😊
Efren Bata Reyes is one of the most correctly Poolplayer. Never seen him angry or disrespecting his opponents.He is and remains a great asset to pool sports.
Seigal use his mouth while Efren use his brain 😂😂😂😂😂
I've never seen someone talk so much whilst playing
No Efren uses His Luck😅
True 😂 seigal to much mouth
@@Jgnth96 Is it just me cuz I find it really cringe and awkward when a player talks too much while playing.
25:04 When he already won and still be humble saying he got lucky. Damn this man is legend
and he was a champion from when he slept no the Tables when he was 5!
The legend!!! The best!! EFREN REYES!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
i am from Malaysia,i support Efren Bata👍👍👍
Mike: "I've been playing pool for 40 years!"
Efren: "So anyway, I was born on a pool table.."
Oh no, anyway
😂😂😂
Efren : my dad was table and my mum are cue stick
Omg XD u made me laugh so much XDDD
Hahaz thankk
Lesson from this video: Stay humble and keep the hardwork
Indeed👌🏻🙂
Thank you. Appreciate the effort and inputs on the game
Ive discovered Ronaldinho, Manny Paguin and now i just discovered this guy.Wow instant fan.Efren Reyes is my new binge.
I am not a sport lover, but I just couldn't ignore how wonderful to watch Efren do his magic without him talking a lot and distract his concentration.
All praises to you all the time Sir Efren. Thank you for your great contribution to sports, especially to the Philippines Sports History. Nawa po ay humaba pa ang buhay nyo at patuloy na mapagbigyan para lumahok muli sa ganyang kompetisyon. We love you, so proud of you Sir Efren!☺️💞🇵🇭🙏
I am a noob so I have a few questions. Please be gentle..
So the rules to win in 8-Ball are:
1. The first to win 2 sets wins the match
2. The first to win 8 games wins the set(or so I thought)
So can someone tell me why 1st set is won with 8 games, but 2nd set is won with 7 games only? What am I missing here?
I also just found out that you can out the white ball anywhere on the table if the white ball goes in. I always thought that you couldn't put it last the white line where you break from and that you can't shoot any balls behind the line either. Those are snooker rules or something? Do you still get two shots after sinking white ball, missing all balls, hitting wrong color ball first? And there's also a penalty if you hit the right ball but it does not touch the walls? I guess that is to stop players from just kissing the ball and doing cheeky snooker shots repeatedly?
Also what happens if you're on the 8 ball, but you hit the other players ball first and then sink the 8 ball? Do you still lose instantly or what happens?
Are there any other rules like this that don't make sense(especially the 7 game set thing) and isn't known by most casual players?
I am addicted to your videos
keep up and thank you
The most frustrating on this video is the editing. Too much video clips that refers from movies that the only role is just to say shut up which makes it more frustrating and the repetition of lines are just too much.
Funny that I actually thought they were funny and well put 😂
Same tayo ng view pre, napakatanga ng pagkakagawa ng video nato, kaya nga dapat tinagalog mo lang para maintindihan ni tanga.
@@DonQuixoteMiguel i agree but you don't have to be that hostile.
@@DonQuixoteMiguel Pre relax lang, isa lang tong critique upang mapabuti.
He keeps complaining about Siegel talking, but that is who and how Siegel has always been. Hence the nickname “The Mouth”.
No one beats our MAGICIAN. He is a LEGEND.
❤️❤️❤️
Humble person and the lord of pool....😊 ....a good example for the young generation 👍🍾🍷cheers effen...you are the legend🎉
Their is always someone in every event who overwhelmes everyone in that game. Like in football Messi and Ronaldo, and also just like the Man her Efren reyes.
no one even notice that sigel has been drinking that empty bottle 12:12 every time reyes scores 😆

Wow, I became a fan of this humble human being
The humbleness and the smiling Efren.
I felt like Efren intended to miss those breaks to give Sigel a chance and make the game more challenging at least.
Mike: "I've been playing pool for 40 years!"
Efren: "The pool is my bed since childhood!"

tis was too dark ---

I hope Efran Reyes the magician will come to play in our country
My favorite always and will be 4ever.
A legend with a peace of mind.
GOD bless you.
Too many unecessary memes, man. Changed my like to a dislike. Couldn't understand anything with the screen cutting to some unfunny shit every two seconds. Efren is a good showman by himself, let him do his magic and stop overcompensating.
So annoying
He's clearly not American. I wonder if the humor is different from where he's from. I didn't enjoy it either but just a thought.
There is such an obvious bias present in the video.
@@Trillion89 look at his channel name, it can't get any obvious isn't it?
U are annoyed because as americans ur pride is bigger than ur talents.. lossers
A very humble man, no ego! Respect ❤️❤️❤️
I was entertained by Mike Sigel, he can be a very good side kick of Efren ‘Bata’ Reyes, the Legend of Billiards.
Humble yourself: perfect example Efren reyes😏😏
Looks like sigel had the best seat inside the pool hall.
i can hear your voice
😂😂😂
hahahah best comment
That’s the difference between “Player vs The Legend”
Yan talaga ang pilipino walang yabang ngiti lang ang pinakita ni mr efren reyes idol
Why everyone here is so on sir Sigel hes also putting up the show. The show is so entertaining with him playing. But kudus to sir Efren very humble and totally the magician 😍😍😍
Fun fact: You didn't search for this video
HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT!
It searched me!
same. the f it popped up. i didn't even play pool
Agreed.
But i am glad that i saw this
That was nice of Efren to let Mike win 5 in the second round. Efren is the better player an definitely the better man.
Enjoyed this thoroughly with the sound off.
I like watching these. And it’s distracting listening to two conversations while focusing on the game
He is very humble, way back, until now. "Efren Bata Reyes" this legend should be remembered😭😭

An epic battle between an open mouth against a close mouth of a humble man.
Some players think they are that good in playing and they talk about it a lot. But Efren Reyes let his cue stick do the talking.
The guy nick name is literally "The mouth" what do u expect there 😂
In their primes, Sigel robs Efren at everything, except one pocket and possibly full rack rotation.. He was that great..
@@jacobjones5269 even in his prime he cant beat efren in his dream maybe he got a chance

Ok, don’t listen.. lol..
But, you do realize there are 5-6 dudes who played in Efren’s era who would torture Efren, playing 9-ball, right?..And I believe 9-ball is a terribly flawed game, I play one pocket.. So I have a lot of respect for Efren.. I’m just not clueless, like you..
Guys like Sigel, Nick, Buddy... Would just rob Efren playing 9-ball.. And Sigel would rob him playing straight pool, too..
@@jacobjones5269 maybe ur right but as u can efren,s get better as he gets older thats what makes them different and they have always been proud that they are so good on the other side efren always keep quiet and let his skills talking not he,s mouth like siegel did thats what make efren the goat even if they trashtalk him or distracted him while playing he didnt respond to them and hes super humble unlike the other hes always saying that hes got lucky everytime he wins
The greatest all around player in the world. Young and old players agree that he is the GOAT.
Don't listen to the negative comments about your narration. I love it that you love Efren as much as I do!
"One of the most lethal and legendary players in pool history, a hall of famer, Efren the magician Reyes! "
he is none other than .... (drum roll) ... the Magician ... a man who needs no introduction ... the one ... the only ... Efren ... BATA ... R E Y E S ! ! ! !
Mike been playing over 40 years. And that only game that he had worst nightmare game, against the legend Efren Reyes...
A very humble man, who won the big mouth and was very rude talking while Efren Reyes was playing. I'm glad he won!
A little chatter will not rattle Efren, he plays in pool halls in the Philippines, those places get rowdy, especially when there is betting involved.
Mike been playing 40 years but Efren slept and ate on pool table his whole life 😂
"The Mouthgician"
VS
"The Magician"
Efren's secret is being calm all the time. One of the most mild mannered kinda happy go luck kinda man. 😂
Humility is key to success.. 👍
