Beats having to set an alarm clock.
I don't think Dennis can beat Biado. Maybe 3 years ago... Biado seams to the top philipino imo...
All true but at his age his high gear is as good as anyone in the game and to me thats damn impressive. Time will tell how he and his game matures.
I saw it a bit different.. Ronnie played like pure, unadulterated dog shite, at least compared to his prime... Missing multiple outs once he forced the shot out of Filler. Missing multiple 8s, 9s, and 10s.
Filler didn't miss very many of these, and was extremely consistent getting the racks he was "supposed" to.. The main difference here was... Almost every single time the rack got "funny", with balls in weird positions, Ronnie won.
Also... Filler basically plays bar table position, and the table was 4 1/4" pockets. That type of area position plays havoc with your nerves when the score is close and you have to consistently bomb in long shots to get started. Filler missed a few shots where he just plain played a poor pattern and put himself in a position where he was cutting a ball up the rail thin and having to turn the cue ball with a lot of inside spin to get to a ball in the other rail, same end.
In short, I've always held the opinion that Filler is overrated.. He has a fantastic stroke, and is great at long shots, great fundamentals. Past that, he has the basic safety game Dow pat, but... Would get horsef*ucked by Dennis. As in... If he tried to play Dennis on this table, it might be such a crushing defeat that he doesn't play well for a year or more after it.
Here is another observation... If someone puts Filler in the box against Bergman on this table in a long ten ball race, mortgage your house and bet it on Bergman.
Now, to give him some credit... Filler's fundamentals are so good that I will edit my previous prediction and say he does have some chance to win the Big Foot challenge, because of his long pots and accurate guys. I will also put it out there now.. If he does get tobtge finals, his opponent needs to play bad for him to get there.
In short, I will say again, I think Filler is overrated. He was playing a Filipino who is arguably second rate at this time due to being so rusty, and he was behind the ENTIRE match...

I don't tune in much these days, so I can't really argue with any of Filler's critics. What is notable though is that his profile is so high as to garner so many, so he must be doing something right.
One question, what 15 to 22 year old player would be favored to beat him? Just curious.

If you don't think a guy is the player he's being hyped-up to be, that means you "hate" him?
if ronnie is a second rate player like you say pick 5 americans that you will bet on against him and ill pick one and be there in 3 hrs....5k min...time to put up
Not exactly true.
Ronnie imo shld have been the best player to come outta philipines after efren if he got his stuff together right.
Ronnie's knowledge , stroke ,wisdom n safety game is way superior over dennis if he actually had the right attitude to practice but he chose to threw it away and the exception that dennis has more shot-making firepower.
Thats explains why ronnie has 2 world titles, a us open and a subsequent runner-up world 9 ball while dennis has only 1 world title.
On the other hand, filler is getting there which reminds me of a young jayson n wu that explains his china open victory.
Also didnt he he just destroyed jeffrey de luna with a huge margin ?
Jus my 2cents.
He wouldnt want to face child prodigy 16 yr old Wu Chia Ching .
And with all variables aside, 16 yr old filler wldnt stand a chance from 16 yr old wu who ran 5 n out for the youngest ever world 9ball title
16 yr wu can prob give him the 7 playing 9 ball
I interpreted it as second-rate Filipino player. Can he pick 5 Pinoys?
Also, to see a guy with the presence of the kid working behind the counter at an ice cream shop act the way he does when he wins is jarring to the psyche... Leaves a bad impression.
I know Ronnie I don't know many other pinoys I'm not putting my money between them though he can pick an American player... being second-rate and all he should have a whole bushel basket full of people... he quoted Ronnie as being Filipino and also said second-rate player

i don't know how the americans entered this conversation. but, if ronnie wants to get in the box against shane, i have a feeling he'll need to bring his own money.
Well Shane is a tier 1player Ronnie apparently is a tier 2 player but that's one choice pick 4 more then ill choose
Considering nobody outside of Europe even heard of Filler just a couple years ago, the fact that he is garnering so much attention as his age says a lot. Let's see where his game is 5 years from now? My guess is among the top 3 rotation players in the world.
