Joe, which gunner is the money favoring in N.O.?$10,000 in the middle. poolactiontv.com
OOPS! Considering that Buffalo Billiards is now home court for Tony this matchup is a flip of a coin.On a neutral court I would have to put Bustamante up at a 120/100 favorite in this match after the showing that both Francisco and Chohan displayed in their last challenge matches. Bustamante IMO is the more consistent player between the two, however, either player could win or possibly dominate the match, that's how explosive these two players are.

You make a good point. I suspect however that Tony was a little embarrassed that he didn't take Filler seriously enough, and that he lost. My guess is that he will be packed for bear and very determined when he goes against the Filipino...I think Tony might feel a little additional pressure after his performance in the Filler match. That said, I think lack of play was the primary culprit there. Regardless, this is going to be a great match to watch. I give the nod to Francisco, his play over the last year has been extraordinary.
Exactly my thoughts, Doc. However Bustamante was hurt when he held the lead in the one pocket venue against Alex and yet could not come through needing one. Im sure it has haunted him as well as Tony's untimely loss to Filler. It should be a good match and if Busty is in good health I will take him. But as the Truck said Busty is still trying to learn to lead a healthy life. Should be a good one.You make a good point.

I hadn't realized that Busty wasn't a clean liver. Did he smoke and drink, or something?Exactly my thoughts, Doc.

Yeah Smoker. And I gather Ray was trying to make him eat healthier.I hadn't realized that Busty wasn't a clean liver. Did he smoke and drink, or something?
I am way out if the game to analyze properly but i saw a couple recent matches of busty in the philippines and i think he will have a hard time winning this match. maybe he was spreading over there or something.
If you saw Busty in the Islands, it had to be an old match. He has been here all during the Pandemic. Holed up with Ray Hansen and Alex P.I am way out if the game to analyze properly but i saw a couple recent matches of busty in the philippines and i think he will have a hard time winning this match. maybe he was spreading over there or something.
Exactly how I see it as well.Tony is hard for me to watch sometimes cause I feel like a lot of the time he does not put everything he has into these matches and when he does he is inspirational. With filler for me it seemed like he just missed those key shots that break down you opponent so many times that it was frustrating. I would expect a different tony in general as this will be his first match at his new home and I believe he will take bustamante fairly seriously which is good for his game imo
