Well, I guess I am not in the majority in the way I look at this match, and why Tony lost. What I saw was Tony very nearly kept up with Filler in pocketing balls and running balls -- and that is shown by that guy AtLarge who posted his match stats. However,
Filler got all the way out a few more times than Chohan did. So, I would give the edge to Filler for sure on the offensive side of the game -- as all of us were probably expecting. But the thing that I was surprised at, which to me is what actually made the difference in the match, was that Tony failed to use his extra One Pocket knowledge and experience
to beat Filler to the shot. Tony had no edge there, despite all his One Pocket experience. That was a surprise to me, and that is the one place I would say Tony underperformed in that match, and explains why he lost.
Basically, when you have one player that knows the game a lot better than another player that is relying on firepower, the player with the knowledge has to win the battle over who gets the to the first shot
the majority of time -- maybe even a super majority -- and that did not happen. Filler actually often beat Tony to the first shot. That is not going to work for Tony against Filler, now or next time. And likewise, if Filler is able to do that against the best One Pocket has to offer (like Alex, Dennis), I'm afraid it's over for the rest of the One Pocket world lol, because no doubt at all Filler runs balls as well as anyone in 2020.
That's my opinion
