Efren Reyes vs Earl Strickland's LEGENDARY MATCH UP! 

Super annoying watching the match on only half of the screen with all that unnecessary crap around the edges

Folks, we know some don't like the ad border. Patience, please. We just started uploading all the great matches we have preserved and digitized. We upload the PBT Classics on a schedule = the 9th, 19th, and 29th of the month. The first 6 matches began uploading on August 9. We've now uploaded 6 matches. The next 6 uploads are a series called "Legends of Billiards," which we produced this past summer. It features Davenport, Pierce and Sigel doing all NEW commentary as they watch the first 6 Classics. They look back at the matches, the players, the times and the Tour. We hope you'll enjoy the unique way we did it. For those who don't like the ad bar, give us a break. We'll get it right. We're just getting started. But hey, thanks for watching and for telling us what you like and want. We're listening.

Earl's pace of play is great to watch. He doesn't, contrary to guys I play $$$ against, rush. He stands up, surveys the whole table then goes to work. I believe his mind works quicker than other tour players, giving the illusion that he's rushing. He is not. His cueball control is phenomenal and even when he's slightly out of position, his shot-making is 2nd to none. Huge, huge fan of his game.

full screen PLEASE!!!!

The talent of Earl Strickland in his prime is undeniable. He's still one of my favorites, even with his antics.

This is without a doubt one of the greatest matches by Earl Strickland in which it's not just a man who came in with the clear decision of winning and nothing is going to stop him. It's Earl The Pearl, up against what he I'm sure feels is the right opponent the right place and the right time. I don't care what kind of condition the magician was in, when it comes to somebody being ready and determined to win and no matter what, not be denied, who else but are all the Pearl is literally that unstoppable Force. Obviously not all the time, it's got to be the right elements and convergence, it's like the German fighter pilot dude in that movie The Three amigos. "I practiced hours and hours every day, it was my dream to be as fast as...." I LOOKED UP TO THIS MAN HE WAS LIKE A GOD TO ME!! .... I've waited a lifetime for this moment 😐... Seriously, go try and talk either one out of it.... The magician is not like that, he's just a brutal winner from outer space... Earl the Pearl is the unstoppable Force meets.... And there is no immovable object and if there is it's going to move. I've known good players that have beaten every big name and all of them without exception said that no matter how well they played even if Earl was off a little bit they still couldn't win it would be close but they wouldn't win and they walk away scratching their head thinking why? That is just Earl The Pearl in standard gear. Here he's ready to move Mount Everest.... I don't think there's anybody in history that could beat him at this moment place and time. This is a great upload and it's finally here thank you...

Earl So very happy that he beat the best player of the world efren.. Earl says during the efren reyes farewell tour that efren is the best player.. 😊

95 96 97 reyes always s the 1st runner up except 94 where he wins it

Hate the advertisements. Full screen please.

Appreciate the upload! Been looking for this match for a while now, great redemption from the pearl!

Thanks for the score info

Kim Davenport should’ve done more commentary, he’s the best i’ve heard without being obnoxious like some

Was about to watch this video and realized i can't deal with the "breath whistle"

Earl got a lot of rolls this match.

Where is the original video without all the cheesy ads?

37:32 unbelievable shot!

I’m sorry I can’t watch this, the border is killing me.

Efren wasn't quite Efren in this match...🫣

Why take up 1/3 of my tv screen with advertisements for Pro Billiards Tour...wanted to watch this but couldnt... stupidity & greed

I love efren... The greatest of all time

On the RU-vid mobile app you can zoom into the video in full screen mode by pinching and dragging your fingers away from each other. Just a tip for easier watching! Enjoy people 😁

I stopped watching early in the video because of the continuous ads.

Please take away the frame.

Earl Kicked his ass!! 💵 😁

We get it. The video was uploaded by PRO BILLIARDS TOUR… No need to ruin the experience of watching this old match with the garbage border around the video. I, and probably many others, would likely subscribe to this channel without this ridiculous and unnecessary presentation

This really is a great match...two legends...9ball pioneers!

Is Mike Sigel your father?

The Pearl!!! Greatest 9 ball player ever, Wave to the crowd Earl!!!

Score info pls

Back in the early 90’s earl whitewashed Efren 9-0 z.

Whistling in the Mic !!! Dude needs to snuff off haha

Nick Varner puts me in mind of Dave Potts.

unfuckingwatchable!!!!!! what were they thinking???

37:37

There is really no excuse for the screen cut with its vain, greedy need to advertise the whole march. All it succeeded was to irritate it viewers the whole nine yards. The excuse by Don Mackey is lame and academic--how long have Pro Billiards Tour been in the business?

58:00

why do you yanks call this billiards, it is pool, not billiards, billiards is a 3 ball game

Besides the bad rolls Efrem stayed up all night again gambling cards looks like

Shadows are terrible on that table.
