Same man, i couldnt help but have tears in my eyes when he won, its such a great moment in darts history. The man who was born to become world champion has now become world champion
Mvg is a class act, not only was it an amazing match but seeing both Smith and Mvg being humble to each other was so refreshing. Mvg also praising Smith when Smith was trying to be nice about winning. I was happy with whoever won. An amazing final, amazing outcome, amazing commentary, amazing scenes. Did we just watch a contender for one the best finals ever.
I really dig smith and mvg, and it’s great to see smith win! But for me it wasn’t the greatest final ever. There was not enough drama for that. Has to be barney taylor 2007
He didn't just win this for himself, he won it for his family also but giving respect for his opponent aswell before he went to his family, a pure moment in darts and a class act from MVG, epic final
I was so glad Michael won, he finally fulfilled his potential, he is people's champion, his attitude personality character is no1, he will win more world championships
Well deserved title for Smith and props to MVG for being so gracious and magnanimous in defeat. Great sportsmanship all around. That 9 dart leg will remain legendary for all time.
Im dutch but i was hoping michael smith will winn and yes he won . Im a big fan congratulations smith best player in the world , greetings from holland
Will never tire of watching this-unbelievable!! Michael Smith a worthy champion…. and loved it when he went straight to his wife and boys to celebrate.
0:18 The 180 call from the caller and the "unbelievable" comments from the commentator mixed up so good you can't here him saying the "un" of "unbelievable"
If anyone deserved this, it was Smith!! What a performance last night!! World Champ and world number 1!! Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!! This match and that 9 darter will be talked about for years to come!!
I would have lost my mind had he finished on a 9 darter. I was hoping for it honestly when he got down to those last 3 darts. Imagine he'd finished on the 9 darter my word what a game
Great champ, love him, so gracious and just goes about his game. The way he went straight to his family, choked me up watching that last night. Not one of those in your face celebrating every 180 type of blokes, he hardly even celebrated the 9 darter. Imagine if price had hit that 9, he would've been bouncing off the walls for half hour.
@@fourcandles9413 my father beat eric bristow and he was registered blind he had 30%vision at the time . Erics dartitis was a crying shame too . Ive met and seen phil taylor great player . I saw my father play john in 1979 at an exhibition on our local civic hall dad was on 32 john was on 170 and checked out .i have said hi to 2 named and yes they were all gifted and top ambassadors for the game .
Micheal Smith was phenomenal and fully deserved that title. His confidence will go through the roof now. Can’t wait to see how good he gets knowing he’s world champion
1:17 Stuart Pyke added nothing with all that shouting. Michael Smith wasn't born to be world champion. Darts isn't the Royal Family. He just worked harder than everybody else.
