Jose Parica Vs Buddy Hall - 1992 US Open 9 Ball Championships 

Yeah Buddy hall always hanging in Tampa Bakery look at his fat belly

Buddy hall beat efren when he first came to the states in Houston at a place called Reds. Efren was still going by Caesar Morales and Buddy Hall schooled him.

beat him 2 sets for 20000 thousand a set @@jlobiafra

@@jlobiafra I don't think I've seen any video of efren beating buddy hall, and I've seen at least 2-3 videos of them playing. I mean it isn't Efren fault, it isn't like Efren is prime Earl Strickland (terminator/A.I. like offense, 5 US Opens) or SVB (5 US Opens with 3 in a row, 2 world titles in a row, the only human to do both). People just love Efren I think because he's quiet and humble, and doesn't speak much english so he can't fuss much. And Earl is the opposite and why most folk who don't love the sport of billiards/pool hate Earl. Prime Earl wouldn't even give you a chance, just run rack after rack. CJ Wiley sometimes too. and we all know SVB... put him on the main stage playing in front of the entire universe and everything in it and he will win, when everyone else will be nervous and other things. You shoulda seen that carom to the 9ball SVB did in Mosconi vs appleton in response to Appleton's safety, 4-4 in a race to 5 or whatnot and won it.

@dannyorsello8668 Efren was always afraid to play Jose Parica in the Philippines and you can see why (he's highly respected and a legend before Efren), and you can hear Jose say in the interview here that Buddy beat him 3 times in a row the year prior, so this is prob Jose first time beating Buddy. Don't sleep on Buddy, no one would ever bet against him afterhours or any money game.. instead everyone would be busy putting money on Buddy, even against Efren. In fact there's a pool story on here (might be CJ wiley, might be AZ Billiards) of a time when everyone in the pool hall (stakehorses, railbirds, other hustling players etc) put all their money on Buddy vs Efren who may have been under the name Caesar Morales at the time. Who do you think won? Buddy.

Me too. Buddy might have lost this match be he is a pool god.

@@davidhunternyc1 😂 😂

much like mizerak, the american GOAT

buddy good friend of mine played him many a game very seldom won one but lot of good memories

It is NOT Parica who always says he got lucky. It is The Great Efren “Bata”Reyes who in all humility always says he got lucky whenever he wins.

God of losing

LeonFleisherFan business in the front, party in the back... hell, Souquet is all business, who am I kidding?

Hahaahah yessss

i have one of buddys sticks got it from him in texas

Amen

Yet losing

Almost ... This match is from the "1994" U.S. Open. :)

@@BlackjackDSapolis Hello David. Here is why I stated that date. During one of the score updates at the bottom of the screen, an Eagles-Giants game was listed with the Eagles up 17-0 at halftime. I looked at the two games between the teams in 1992, and subsequently at their two games in 1994. The only such game in which the Eagles led at 17-0 at halftime was on December 27, 1992. (www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199212270phi.htm). Is there additional information that I'm missing? Regardless, I enjoyed the video and thank you for posting it.

@@DennisZehner , that's kind of weird. I was at both the 1992 and the 1994 US Opens - Buddy lost to Jose Parica in the semi-finals in 1992 - I have that match uploaded as well. I believe that this is the year that Efren actually won his only US Open (1994) ... so I am not sure why there are football scores from 1992 being scrolled on a match that was aired in late 1994, early 1995 - then again ... we live in a very very strange world. lol

@@DennisZehner ... my mistake ... this is the 1992 .. blame it on age.

@David Sapolis No worries. Thanks for posting it.

Man I wish there was a laugh react button lol

@@94pbplayer Ok.. lol.. I’ll keep telling the story.. I was there.. 1992, Willards jamboree in Chicago.. Bustamante had just arrived in the states for the first time, and he gives CJ Wiley the 8 ball and beats him 2 sets.. Never missed a ball.. CJ’s stakehorse politely tells Bustamante’s stakehorse that he can play Buddy, and bet what he wants... The offer is politely declined.. Then, lol, they’re told Efren can play Buddy, and bet what he wants.. And that offer was politely declined.. lol.. I was there.. And I could see it in their eyes.. They knew they’d get shot full of holes..

@@94pbplayer Buddy Hall beat Efren for the cash when he first came over and Efren was in his prime.

@@heginschristianstrong7707 YEAH CUZ EFREN WAS EXHAUSTED 😂 HE WAKE HIM UP 4AM IN THE MORNING WITH HIS BOYFRIENDS EFREN HAD BEEN PLAYING NON STOP FOR A WEEK.. AND BUDDY HALL CHALLENGE HIM IN 10BALLS THAT WAS FIRST 10BALLS OF EFREN

@@daijhin3064 dude get in reality. Efren is the best ever but he has been beaten and loses just like everyone else.

Your cousin Jeremy played great that US Open finals. But he also took 10 minutes per rack. After every single shot - powder, towel, powder, towel...

Corba Kai Oh yeah, Jeremy and the slow death... Powder, towel... Powder, towel.. lol.. Does it really matter, though, if the other guy never gets a shot?.. I think not.. BTW, he's not my cousin..

It doesn't matter. I was very impressed with your uncle. Even started carrying around my own towel and baby powder for a while. But I can also empathize with Parica and understand his frustrations.

Not my uncle, either.. lol.. He's my brother..

Does that make you Double J jr.?

With whom?

Kkkkkkkkkk

Kkkkkkkk

Reason of a loser

@@daijhin3064 Yeah, right. Buddy Hall sure is a loser, isn't he? Hahaha Do you even have any idea who he is? Loser? That's Buddy Hall. Hall of fame player. The best money player of his era, and practically unbeatable in his day! Give me a break!

Although the comment was made 4 years ago, it doesn't matter because the truth is timeless. Buddy Hall thinks he's better than anyone with his cue ball position that is why he never liked Efren when Efren first came out to compete. Hate never get a person anywhere.

What makes the difference between today's pool tournaments and the tournaments of the golden age? I mean, If one were to make a difference today

@@bjarkenielsen8515 only difference I see between now and then is pool players today wear gloves. Maybe it is a style and helps them cue some balls. I dont see myself wearing one though as I like to feel the pool cue as I hit the balls going to the hole. Thats like wearing a condom…..hahaha

@@jasonreyes25 Hahaha, good observation. Maybe it is just the general level of skills, that have increased. This results in continous run-out, leaving the spectators without drama and thrills.

Your grandfather is Jose Parica?

Wanna sell it ?

I remember back in those days they had two different pro tours with different players, earl played on the other tour

FWIW, Mike won 105+ pro tournaments during his career - and he is the player that all of the Filipinos watched and wanted to to be like (this includes Efren Reyes). According to Efren, when it came to 9 ball, Mike Sigel was the standard - and that is one hell of a compliment. Not sure why you have so much negative to say about Mike, he really is a super nice guy - a good friend of mine - and one of the best players in the history of the game.

You gotta be joking

Efren Reyes literally said Mike Sigel in his prime was the player he feared most

LOL!! 3 U.S. Open 9 ball wins, over a hundred career wins and the youngest to be inducted into the BCA Hall of Fame; well rounded in all games... yeah, he can't shoot. You're an idiot!

He looks like a small boy next to Buddy Hall.

I'm pretty sure every pool player has cried about something
