Johnny Archer came to the Villages in Fla. and the gave out 3 tickets for $20 each to play him one game of 9-ball. He was a pure gentleman, and said I will rack them for you and let you break. I broke and made a ball on the break and then ran 5 more. I didn't have a great shot so I played him safe, he tried to play me safe and I got out. The next day Phil Diangelo called me and said, I know you don't buy the newspaper but you better get one today, your picture is on the front page of the Daily News, with the caption-Ron Cerelli (The Legend) gets out and beats Johnny Archer. wow, what a fabulous experience. Thank you Johnny for being such a gentleman.

Grady has a point, the break is very important for acquiring and maintaining advantage. Even if one has such a finesse like The Magician, one can get easily behind a powerful breaker like Archer or Strickland.

Dear accu stats, bring entertaining commentators such as billy, danny and mike sigel. I respect mark wilson and jack but i don't want to listen for analysis every single shot. We need jokes, stories and arguing. This what makes long match pool fun to watch.

I don't think Grady thinks that Efren can win with a break like that lol

What a battle.

This commentating is almost better than the match

Grady was right about the importance of the break... ESPECIALLY on the last rack.

If the old guy is Grady, then he called the match correctly right from the start. Efren just couldn´t match Archer in the break - the most important shot in pool - and it ended up costing him.

When did Archer stop playing at this pace. Love to see his older matches. He trusts is instincts and executes.

In 2011 Phil DeAngelo put a big expo on in the Villages where I lived. When the expo was over Phil sold 3 tickets for $20 each to play Johnny Archer one game of 9-ball. 2 guys went up and lost and Phil said ticker # 513. I gasped cause I had that ticket. Phil said Johnny we know you are in the world hall of fame and you are a legend, but we have a legend here in the Villages and he is Ron Cerelli The Legend, so Johnny said you can break Ron. I did and made a ball on the break, then proceeded to make 5 more. I had long rail shot from the front rail to the back rail. There were about 200 people in the bleachers and I almost tried the shot but I thought , there are a lot of my students in the audience so I played safe. Johnny tried to play me safe back, but he didn't and I got out. He was such a gentleman, congratulated me, wow was I shaking. The next day the Daily Sun newspaper had my picture on the cover and it said The Legend beats a legend. I will never forget how great I felt.-Ron Cerelli The Legend

We have Billy's game, and Grady's game, and we get to hear their endless kibitzing and bickering instead of respecting the video audience who tuned in to enjoy the ONE game that is advertised. Why not ERASE the sound track and all their bullshit and just have one able person commentate on what Efren and Johnny are DOING...Not what the commentator thinks they SHOULD be doing...
