Sixteen years ago and he’s still going strong. That is pretty amazing. It is one thing to still be playing but he is still at the very top.
Please report back in another sixteen years. lol
@Stephen Greenhorn Completely agree and especially because Ronnie said he gets bored easily, later skipped tournaments and often mentioned retirement circa 10 years ago but then his relationship with Steve Peters gave him a new outlook.
@Stephen Greenhorn Sportsmen come along and pull people into sport be it Messi in football, Mike Tyson in boxing, Ronnie in snooker. I hadn’t thought about it but my interest in F1 lessened after Senna. I am sure snooker suffered after ‘83/‘84 when Alex Higgins star waned. Cricket after Ian Botham etc.
@Stephen Greenhorn Yep and Yep. Hope yours are too. Take care
back in the final now !
One day I'll find this "Come on Ronnie" guy that is in the fans whenever Ronnie has a match without exception 😂
You'll never Find Me.. Come on Ronnie!!!!!
It probably his mother!
@@gregoryconnor9333 he's a dude though 😅

It’ recorded and played by Ronnie himself
Only Ronnie can do this, greatest player of all time in snooker history
Ronnie is the GOAT in snooker
@@chatchaik 💯🇯🇲🇬🇧👍

16:36 To pot such a red and that to in a deciding frame , takes a lot of guts.. Steve's expression said everything..
Thats why ronnie is the best ..
Ronnie had that vampire hair back then. I wish someone like him did live forever. It's amazing seeing people this good at something.
Man, this was Steve Davis' to lose. It's a heartbreaker to not see it go his way, but the match was incredibly good.
why ronnie ended up the GOAT the master of snooker
Sometimes we forget that Steve Davis is a six time champion and obviously he wasn't the same player but he ruled the 80s..
The match is against Davis, but you can clearly see Ronnie isnt fighting against him. Hes battling his own demons
Ronnie O'Sullivan is complitely talent. Genius One in snooker. The Rocket Legend.
Ronnie O'Sullivan - what a handsome chap then and now.
What a great match. Watch the 4 volumes; loved it.
Какие игроки , классные. Улыбчивый , лучезарный Стив Девид и Ронни О, Салливан , извините за сравнение - " Как сторожевой катер " . Догонит и остановит...Любимый игрок снукера.👍👏♥️
Great match finish, thanks for posting the videos, Cesar. Also, thanks for the quizzes. :)
Both are legends 🙌
Ronnie looks so handsome in long hair .played amazingly well also
Natural talent. Absolutely briliant.
Excellent choices of matches and good editing all around. keep 'm coming.
Thanks again namnack!
O'Sullvan é o melhor!! Gostaria de ver mais jogos com outras lendas. Parabéns!
What an excellent match. Trust Steve to get the wibbles at the end there. Thank you, Cesar, for creating this brilliant channel. Keep up the good work.
So much expression from the players. Animated faces and everything.
Today, if you see a Flick, it's a lot
Ted Lowe and Terry Griffiths commentating those were the days. Used to enjoy when they had John Spencer too.
That was not Ted Lowe commentating. Clive Everton.
Ted Lowe used to bumble with the commentary, but it was great. When he said "you have to pot as many balls as you can".
Hey Cesar,Thankyou!☺️
Thanks for the upload
Rony o'sullivan sempre espetacular!!!
I am watching two magicians challenging each other!
Mr. Boss Man. Fearless.
Rons a proper rock & roller in this.
The two greatest positional players.
What a finish ! The pink righ-handed and the black left-handed shot incrrrrredible !!!
This is ronnies 2nd best ever hair style.
Which one is the best?
@@acetakashima6393 the bald one :D
Do you just go on Ronnie clips to comment on his hair ?
jason yuen the fastest 147 one is best hair
Owen Gardiner someone’s got to
roonie the bravest player ever live
I love u both
Snooker was more exciting back then. Clive Everton was a good commentator.
Much less exciting back then. Quality much higher today.
Steve should have taken that last red on. It was a difficult shot but trying to get safe off it was even harder.
I totally agree with you
Ye a 80s Steve probably would of
Yup.. exactly 💯
Amazing how much the video quality haz improved sinse then.
The double kiss of death, ha ha. Well done Ronnie.
DDK
Ronnie O'Sullivan and Efren Reyes. The best
Ronnie💚
The Best
12:30 that yellow does an alarming zigzag. Like a pub table lol
la classe
Now, tell me Davis didn’t feel tempted to make faces to Sullivan at 11:11
During this year Steve Davis was not only President of THE HAIR CLUB FOR MEN but was also a member.
2 rois du billard Steve et Ronnie respect messieurs
Addicted to that rush..
I didnt know Mr. Bean was such a cracking player in his younger days.
These commentators really are good. Excellent in fact.
I wonder how American commentators would tell it (shudder).
Oh god do not say that, imagine that? Oh god, pukes
They would ruin snooker lol
the black at the end it is all is left ...and he played with left hand ... right?!
This was back in time, when he didn't do that regulary. He doesn now, for all sorts of shots.
legends.
Épico
davis & o'sullivan off their game. Very rare
Hairstyle reminds me of Sonny Akani's do.
Ted Lowe’s ludicrous written comment at the beginning is priceless.
“And it is my guess that Steve Davis will try to score as many points as he can this frame”
And to borrow one of Ted's regular comments "that should have been curtains for Ted Lowe."
Michael Wilcox what about when he said, and for those of you watching on a black and white television the yellow is next to the pink lmao 😂
Amazing contrast between the two...haircuts.
Scott Jenkins yeah Ronnie looks like a pirate and Steve looks like an Egyptian.
I didn’t know that chester bennington used to play snooker back in the day
that is on point!
Jesus lmaooo
Legend
Gods in action
Ronnies last safety was great. He planned/hoped that double kiss :D
Watched all of that waiting for the streaker. Wrong match!
Davis was a great player. But I think Dennis Taylor hurt him. He never seemed to recover completely from that loss
You can clearly judged that steve Davis was totally under pressure of fear of defeat but Ronnie is always a diamond and deserved that victory .Whenever you are under pressure you can,t win the game.
is that Terry Griffiths on commentary? Love the comment about into the long grass.
For me the longevity of the career makes Davies's achievements so great. Hendry is back playing again so might raise the bar again....
Yes, it's Terry Griffiths with Clive Everton.
Ronnie is legend
love the bit with steve davis's dad watching smoking a cigar
And he disappeared when Ronnie potted the winning ball, probably went to the toilet too cry 😪
Davis takes on the last fatal red long shot and sells out but doesn't take on the close red at 23:00. Announcer says the white is too close to the red but I beg to differ. There are stroke techniques to deal with shots that close to each other, no problem. I am quite shocked Davis didn't have a answer for it, a world class player.
I shoot shots closer than that, it's about knowing how to set up at the end of your stroke. Not that I am a world class player, but I always find it rather annoying that when I take on shots like that and my opposition always rushes in to ask if I am going to play it straight ahead and then say it will be a foul because of double contact and I just say watch the hit and execute it with no foul and they stand there still wondering if I did in fact foul. They can't believe you can still screw back or follow the cue ball especially, thinking it had to have double hit to still follow after contact, but they are not sure.
Of course they are baffled, but they know subconsciously that it couldn't have double hit because it would look and sound different.
I examined this shot closely just to make sure, there was plenty of room for Davis to shoot the shot.
I'm very surprised. Davis deserved to lose, as bad as they both played, but understandable at this level and difficulty. I am not the one to criticize and as a matter of opinion, as bad as they played, I say that in jest sort of. Imo, all things considered, they both played great, just not perfect clearance, but come on, these are very difficult layouts with reds on the rail.
Us club players, even decent players, might still take one hour to finish from those two last games with the reds like that.
These guys, even when struggling, are devastating.
The cue ball just feathered the red and the red barely moved, i think the distance between cue ball and red for that shot was about a half a ball, and it didn't look straight to worry about a push shot, he had to judge the angle at that close distance with the ball close to the cushion and the red had to travel half the table, he was worried about not potting it.
I never played snooker but it much harder compared to reds at the same distance and in the middle of the top or bottom cushion (closer to pot).
@@heavyrules6699 that's exactly what happened, you are correct. I understand your point but it doesn't negate what I said, it's just that the particular stroke and set up I described, is not in Steve's arsenal or he figured the safety was the better choice.
I know the shot can be executed, I studied what happened exactly like you because I wasn't just going to trust the camera angle, because the cb might have been closer to the red than percieved, but I know it wasn't.
I know it's dangerously close, but I know for a fact that, that in pool, I seen people who can draw or screw back those shots even when closer to a object ball.
But pool balls are bigger and heavier than snooker balls, so maybe it's not possible to execute in this case.
But I also know, Davis is not a exotic shot type player like O'Sullivan is more capable of.
I also know, that world champs don't get there by playing safe more than offensive ability. The best way to win, is to keep your opponent in the chair because the reality is, nothing is really safe.
How many times have you walked back to your chair thinking you locked somebody up and they kick and not only hit it but get lucky and make it?
Even if Davis won the match, I would still argue my point. But like I said, upon further thinking, maybe it's not possible with snooker balls in that particular shot relationship.
Even when jacking up, the white is so much lighter than a pool ball, the white gets airborne and doesn't transfer enough speed to the red unless hit miracle perfect. I don't know for sure.
If it does in fact require a miracle, then Davis was correct playing safe instead.

Good
April 12 - 2020 in lock down situation due to virus seen this match very good match great comeback Ronnieo
Who'S think the world recoverd soon coments.
It was a hoax mate
Davis in the 80s was so dominate that he would regularly not let his early tournament opponents win a single frame. And if they did win one, it was because of a fluke. Davis was a class above all other players, even the handful who could compete in a match against him.
last black lefthanded😎
love the music at the end what is it?
It's called "A Dusty Road" from the YT library.
As i always say ronnie osullivan is lionel messi of snooker the most talented players ever
O sullivan is the Cristiano Ronaldo of snooker.
Diego Maradona of snooker
@@g13n79

สุดยอดจริงๆ

Remember even in 2004 Davis was 20 past his best and Ronnie only just won him. Although I wouldn’t disagree with Ronnie being the best player of all time I think a lot of people have forgot what a winning machine Davis was
Davis' best performance in WCs was his final win in '89 when in the final he utterly destroyed John Parrot 18-3, the heaviest defeat in a WC final. JP's head was spinning the entire match as Steve gave him virtually no shots to play for the almost the whole match. 1 year later and Davis started playing about as well as Willie Thorn.
Could someone please explain something for me. I normally play 8 ball and occasionally 9 ball. What puzzles me when I watch snooker is why when you have balls lined up along the rail, like they did in this first game, do they always seem to leave them until the very last to try and clean up? I would have started to clean those off as soon as there was a shot there and left something else in the open until later.
Scooter Tramp the reason is because the pockets are cut differently. Pool pockets are cut concave snooker convex. If you were to try and shoot the ball down the rail on a snooker table you’d almost never make it. I could explain further. I played pool for years and thought the same thing. Now I’ve switched to snooker and I know why. Their damn near impossible you can’t cheat the pocket at all.
@@jordanmcneil01 Thank you for the explanation. I've only played a rounded pocket corner table a couple of times and that was years ago.
20:20 was a difficult shot
بففف من المغرب بزاف هد الفينال بببببببررر
the question is that, how was ahead Steve 🙄
Ronnie resembles Sunny Akani in this one :p
I guess akani resembles ronnie :)
Ronnie really wanted this
I appreciate Davis but also think that he had done suside in final frame as he got chance to give again when Ronnie miss to break snooker
Forgotten long haired Ronnie !! 😂
After seen this battle its like a Pakistan revenge from India 😂lol
love you ronnie 😍
Bhai mere ...Har cheez me India se kun compete karte rehte ho.... age badho.... btw we Indians love ronnie too. He is a gentleman n a great player. More success to ronnie😍😍
Typical Ted. Like saying 'I guess they'll try to score as many goals as they can before the end of the match.'
Ronnie concentrated well and lifted the trophy.
One 147 got ROS $150,000.
Not bad.
I never realised that Steve Davis breathed in and out like he actually thought he was an athlete.
Davis was an athlete,. He was a runner. I believe he was one of the first snooker players to take his physical shape seriously and still does in retirement as far as I know
its something he copied off of the tennis player Bjorn borg
Emotionally tense but Ronnie didn't play well in the last frames
Lepas habis
Ronnie looks like Scott Stapp did in his hay days with Creed.
Ronny looks like Loki with that haircut.
