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.

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

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 🤭

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

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.

Old is gold. Amazing match! thanks for the reupload

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

Bustamante still perfect

Great match! Real cool to see them interacting and enjoying themselves

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

Fine wine, these two. Fantastic match.

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.

Great match

Thanks for upload

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.

Love watching Earl play. Very quick

great match

Holy crap pat that was awesome !

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

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

These two guys 👌

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.

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

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

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

No one loves earl, more than earl!

Thanks so much for this amazing upload Pat! I missed you guys earlier, I was shooting a set after getting whooped at a tournament. I needed this to relax to afterwards 😜

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

What a match

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

Commentators were thrilled at the result 🤣🤣

Great match AND commentary

The pearl el más grande!!!!!

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

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

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.

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

Man I love earl's pace

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

exelente vidio bueno

Great players like efren eyes will always be classics.

Earl is my hero I so wish I could meet him

The dentures-commentator cracks me up …. Great match

هذا اللعب.. لعب الاساطير.. تحية لايرل من دبي دار الحين..

this is a riot! ✊🤣😂🤣😃

Never doubt django

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

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 :)

Earl pulled his pants down lol killed that tourney.

Две легенды

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.

Rack 15...damn Earl!

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

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

@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 ?

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!

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.

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

Great match janggo and Earl S.

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.

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

I've never seen these 2 players so relaxed n chatting to each other during a competitive game. Seems like a friendly game with nothing at stake

What's up at 1:17:50 , Earl is shooting stripes, makes his shot, and has a solid go in too; did he call that? I can't hear him say anything about it, I didn't even know that was a legal option but it'd be excellent to know if that's an actual play.

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

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

❤️❤️❤️

Most shafts are already smooth especially when wearing a glove

What a shot 1:17:55 😮!!

My man's pinky game is unreal

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

👉DJANGO🌟DJANGO👈

I don’t think they should make the players wear these long sleeve shirts and vest. A nice dress shirt would do. I couldn’t imagine trying to play in something like that. To me, Earl is the greatest player of all time.

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

Combined age of 6000 of the people in the seats

Who is the gentleman sitting behind the Simonis banner beside the guy in the black hat? He seems to be at everyone of these big tournaments.

Please remove the letters on the screen so that we can see clearly

Earl the Pearl Strickland , what's left to say

Can't believe Earl just threw the match like that lol

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

With Earl playing/talking who needs commentators ???

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! 😂😅

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

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....

Are the commentators competing too?😂😊

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

Th Cue ball might be covered in skitt ✍🏾📈

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

Earl good player bad ridicoles show man

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

Why don’t they use the rack?

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

●●● Does anyone know? What would happen if the referee dropped the bridge (and scrambled balls) while handing it to, or taking it from, a player?

Who are the two commentators

21:40 I feel like he just covered up for a senior moment.

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

There's not of players he's so chilled with 2 or 3 if you push it

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

Can anyone tell me what the numbers next to their names mean?

Strickland is sixty now days. Does he still compete?
