Great post. Any old video of Kieth is greatly appreciated. People really have no clue just how good he really was (IS!!) This vid shows how he played in many tournies back at that time. He made is money AFTER hours, when the big bucks where bet.
Only Efren could make a tux and bowtie look like he's wearing a $2.99 boy's size 20 shirt from Woolworth's Bargain Basement. But what a true champion, making the most of his talent, unlike some pool might-have-beens.
Efren Reyes swore at 21:00 LOL.. He said "Gago talagang putang ina " means " Really Stupid Mother Fucker" and the commentators didn't have any clue what he said..lol
It's amazing how the mentality of the game has changed so much. The announcers are always suggesting offensive shots, even when defense is obvious. Very different these days.
McCready was definitely a force to be reckoned with back then! I loved watching him play at Hard Times. He so animated. So after watching this I'm wondering a what time did Efren start playing ridiculously bomb with the kick-safeties (founded probably by him from God) and weird english shots (???).
Amazing how little Mizerak seems to know about the shots, a 4-time straight pool world champion. Of course it's only an act to create intrigue among the layman viewers, but somewhat irritating anyway. I like these old matches though; they bring some flavor in pro matches that these days have no drama or emotion to speak of.
