8-BALL: Francisco BUSTAMANTE vs Earl STRICKLAND - 2014 MAKE IT HAPPEN 8-BALL INVITATIONAL 

I’ve watched Earl shoot a lot and he always reminds me of a savant with ADHD. He shoots very quickly with almost a sense of impatience, like he thinks so quickly that his body is fighting to keep up. He doesn’t take many pre-strokes, shoots fast but always so accurate with great position, and he doesn’t seem to rethink his original approach once he’s committed. It’s both amazingly entertaining and slightly stressful to watch him work around the table.

great match to watch, always good to see close competition. I enjoyed it even more after muting the sound. Not tasteful or professional for the anti Earl commentator cut a player down. I suppose his negativity might be because Strickland could smoke him even shooting left handed.

The old guy here has to be the worst commentator ever

"How about if he doesn't make the ball" I literally spit out my beer laughing 😂🤣

Wondering if the old man announcing is watching the same match as everybody else

I hate to say this but Efren is simply the best - Earl Strickland

That was one of the greatest jokes ever that Danny said about Earl talking two guys , one was deaf and the other one didn't understand english 🤭

1:17:50 ...are you f-ing kidding me!??! Outrageous!!!!

I usually write good match, forget that crap, this was a GREAT match. I haven't had so much fun watching a match with the older Strickland in it in a long time. He would do himself a service to adopt more this attitude. They both played like gods, basically, a coupled of bobbles and some dry breaks, and some shots that were out of this world, very high level pool. Man, I am clueless as to why Earl picked stripes on that game ending 46:00. Even the commentators were back and forth, for me it was instantly pick solids, no comparison, even negating the problem stripe they looked better to me. And except for Earl's killer clearance shot on his LAST shot (he IS good at coming with those) before the eight ball, which could have gone bad pretty easily, he had a serious problem because of it. Like I said, I do not get it. People pick on Danny all the time. For my two cents I think these two are always hilarious. When they're not arguing like an old married couple, they are breaking each other up. And Danny always has at least one excellent quip.

That old drunk guy commentating makes it hard to watch

These commentators were horrible lol

Does Billy even watch the matches or just run his jaw against American players?

Earl strickland, the villain of pool, i love it 🤣

Bustamante still perfect

At least Francisco Bustamonte didn't jump up on the table to celebrate.

The dude with the shit stained dockers behind Bustamante (13:00) is the real MVP.

Love the Abbot and Costello commentary. These two bounce off each other with the most inane comments. Makes you wonder if they are watching what we are.

I just love watching Earl in stroke....nothing better!!

I don't get that stupid triangle plastic thing being left on the table after the break off, surly it can cause the ball to run-off differently and get stuck under the balls?!

Sometimes these pool announcers are annoying AF lol

Beautiful match and two of my all time favourites. Thank you Pat and the Accustats team. This channel is a pool lovers dream. Also love the commentary.

I'd sure like to hear what Earl was saying. How about stop talking when the players talk?

Accu stats video productions has ruined this video by picking the two absolute worst commentators in the world. One commentator has a lisp that is very distracting, and the other commentator has a voice that sounds like he's over 100 years old. Do the producers not realize what a good radio voice sounds like?

It's 8-7, Earl's talking again and you "DUFUSSES (I'm being kind!) are yapping again! We'd much rather hear Earl!

Is the old guy drunk? lol

Strikland jugador sin estilo, mecánico, no siente el juego, además, mal perdedor y mal ganador. Bustamante, despues de Efrén, el mejor......

Old is gold. Amazing match! thanks for the reupload

I think having three different sets of colors is absolute bullshit. I’m an old guy that learned pool in my father’s basement and plaid local halls as a kid. DECADES. Why does a couple of companies get to decide to change the colors of the balls? Is no one in charge? What is up with that??? Four is now pink. Purple which used to be four is now five. In the other system they seem to like pastels. On TV you can’t even tell the difference between the six and seven. What jackass came up with this and what jackasses at least for those covering this tournaments didn’t complain? This is really hard to see if one have a smaller screen as it is.

Mandatory viewing for all levels of players. Maybe some of the best 8 ball ever. Earl missed less but lost anyway.....

STRICKLAND SHOULD SHUT UP AND REFRAIN FROM MAKING COMMENTS DURING A MATCH. i don't know why the yanks do this

Wow....they sound so deflated lol. "You can like it because, I'm sure you don't love it" lol. Americans lol!

Hello Accu-stats, I gotta couple quick questions that roam my mind! First, the people with earphones on the crowd, are they listening to the comment by Bill and Danny? And second, where is Bill!? In my opinion he's the best commentator Accu-stats had, and with Danny they make such a good duo, I miss him commentating more recent games! Cheers from Andalusia!

Finally the gentleman won. No doubt his bovaristic, saponaceus opponent is telling his "fans" he himself was unlucky

Efren Reyes - The Master - The Wizard The Undisputable G.O.A.T

Django nxt in line 2 Efren Bata'Reyes 👍🤗😀

Commentators are like an old married couple. Better watched on mute. Great filming. Great match.

I DON'T KNOW WHY STRICKLAND IS"WANKING OFF" HIS CUE WHEN HE'S WEARING A GLOVE TO PLAY. IT'S NOT NECESSARY.

DD doesn't sound drunk at all why everyone sayin that??? lol

When Earl made two you didn't mention it you bias show well

With Earl playing/talking who needs commentators ???

Th Cue ball might be covered in skitt ✍🏾📈

Why is it that every announcer calls the balls solid and stripes. We said that when we were 12! It always was high or low ball ! Who says "stripes" ? Nobody in any pool hall in my Newark, NJ talks like that! 😂😅

No one loves earl, more than earl!

Can't join live chat but listening to bully ear crow as Earl "G.O.A.T" spanks mister 2nd place Bustamante LoL 😂🤣😆

The truth is any player against the pearl is likely to loose even efren himself knows

8 ball on us table is pretty boring no tactics and they never miss. That said two legends are always worth watching 😃

Hoping future matches get Mark and Jeremy Jones back commentating. This is painful

He's kicking in his wallet

Ok retty good pep talk Earl gave 2nd place Bustamonte lol

Get rid of that plastic form for racking. Use a rack.😮😢

Hello I’ve been listening to a builder in Cardona and Danny Diliberto for quite a while and their commentary and their back-and-forth is just awesome I thoroughly enjoy it I just wanted to let you guys know take care. Alfred Montoya aka Handsome Al

Fine wine, these two. Fantastic match.

Older announcer, salads are the best..over stripes lol

The ref racking is really not necessary just get it done

@1:37:50 I would bank the 6 ball into the side pocket ?

The older announcer had me laughing so hard. Got to love him! Great play by both parties.

A very entertaining match to watch between two of the best.

1:18:56 i wish i could read boostiez mind 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Commentators were thrilled at the result 🤣🤣

1:17:53 f yussssssss! proper reaction weeeeeeeeee! 🔥🙌🔥👏👏👏😛

Combined age of 6000 of the people in the seats

Never doubt django

Holy crap pat that was awesome !

Sargo lng alam ku sa bilyar😂😁😁

At 1:1755 Earl makes one of the best shots you will ever see. After winning the game, he goes off on a celebratory rant engaging with the crowd. I wish the commentators had recognized the moment and let us hear what Earl had to say rather than talk over him.

👉DJANGO🌟DJANGO👈

The commentators worry because they go by they're own talents.. after so many yrs rubbing elbows with these Hall of Famers they still doubt the talents

Wow earl the pearl @1:18 😲😲😲😲😲😲😮😮😮😮😯😯😯😯

I don't realize I do it but when I get in my rhythm I do the teeter totter stroke boosti does people are like how do you do that.its actually an odd thing to b able to change your stroke.i mainly like playing with a snooker style stroke short and compact.

At 41:50, while seating, is Earl using sandpaper on his cue? Maybe some sort of rosin on a paper? Anybody?

@9:55 is there any reason for hitting the 9 ball half ball , he nearly screwed up? i would just played it striaght on ? u can pot 2 balls that way too ?

He's not effren is he

Are the commentators competing too?😂😊

Thanks for upload

These two guys 👌

I love watching Earl lose!

Over Wych and Waddell I'll take Danny and Billy any day of the week. Their commentary makes a match a pleasure instead of torture, lol. European matches are just hard to take.

1:13:24 certainly a foul. Can't believe Incardona and Diliberto didn't catch it.

"He probably exaggerates about... 40%." You can tell that Danny's a man who has been hanging around pool halls his whole life.

6th rack was tough, Busty worked it pretty good but came up just short with the 2 not falling....

Why don’t they use the rack?

What's the story on the rack used here? I notice some of the newer videos are back using the standard rack. Was this a trend or was it found to be inconsistent? Just curious :)

I like watching Earl lose

The only thing that would make this better is audio of the players talking.

8-BALL: Francisco BUSTAMANTE vs Earl STRICKLAND --- EXCELLENT

1:14:59 is foul!

The commentators are OK.

Great match

There it is So relieving to watch/know Bustie beating Earl for the first time☺️like I've never seen this before

boosteeeemz uses so much side it wicked ... amazing match and commentary captured ty for sharing mr. flemming! dd is killin me! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣❤️💚❤️

Amazing match. Just the way these guys think leaves me speechless.

I understand everyone wants to make a buck from ads, but I had to give up. It was getting absolutely ridiculous. I didn't time them, but they had to be almost every 5 minutes. You're just insulting your viewers at that point. I'm out.

First time I saw a supple wrist like Busti was Petey Fusco from Philly.

Most shafts are already smooth especially when wearing a glove

Family stroke😁

Wow the Very Great match

Fr tho, why does bustamante get 2 extensions in the last rack? He used an extension after the break, then another extension with ball in hand....

Earl is definitely a great player and he's also someone very difficult to like and wish he wins.

this is a riot! ✊🤣😂🤣😃

What a shot 1:17:55 😮!!
