I just got done right now doing some of the final work for the time line on Power One Pocket and saw this. I will say that many people will not give Scott his due and some have recently who did not before. Scott has won the last 3 times for the cash, yes the one was an exhibition but Efren was not smiling when he lost to Scott and the winner of the "exhibition" got $5,000.
The Accustats was gambling, both players backed and taking a shot at the cash, Scott bet all he had on the side. Just recently at Open, Scott won again for the cash. I know we all want to think Efren is the best and no one can touch him because he is God like but we have to accept reality he is not getting any younger. Some mentioned he is not making shots, well explain to me how he is winning 9 ball tournaments, you would think it would be one pocket instead.
I know Scott respects Efren and thinks Efren is the best and is always proud when he beats him. Efren admitted after the Accustats match that Scott is the best, what more do people really need. I think its Scott's time now, how long that time will last is uncertain, Efren had a great run and is still capable of beating anyone on any given day though. I guess my opinion on this is a bit biased but I hate people saying it was Efren playing on the lemon or it was an exhibition or he is just not himself, give Scott his due, he has earned it.
Efren is up on Scott lifetime I am sure by a very good amount as Scott chased him around playing him, getting beat with weight time and time again, this is how he became the best. I do hope a big money match comes up between the 2, a race to 21 for some serious coin, the rail would be huge! It would be one of the greatest one pocket matches ever.
