Negative, Shane has lost only one race to 100 and that was to Alex.
Didn't he already lose a set to 100 against Chang? And Shane lost to Alex in a race to 100 when Shane was clearly the better player.
That still does not take away he bent Shane over on the 10 ft table and had him in wondering why he took on the big one , I thought for a moment he was going to cryWhat 9ft did Earl drill him on? seem's to me Shane horse f##$%d Earl on the 9fts, 100-60 the first time they played����
If Shane can play vs Chang the way he played Shaw,
I'd like him to win vs anyone.

It's pretty apparent to me that you don't know a gaffe table when you see one, Earl couldn't beat Shane on a real pool table if his life depended on it

No doubt, he'd be in with a chance. As fans, it's the match we want. Let's hope we get it ---- in America. As noted previously, they've never raced to 100 on American soil.
As Herodotus noted in Ancient Greece, "the past is history." In my opinion, three guys represent the first tier of our game right now when it comes to the action scene, and that would be JL Chang, Josh Filler and Shane Van Boening.
Any time two of these three match up in a streamed match, the winner will always be ..... the fans.
In his brief interview with JJ after his match with Shaw, Shane said something like I want to call out to Chang to play race to 125 for $20K or $30K. So it is race to 125 which would probably be longest race ever in recent years- I don’t recall any race to more than 100. 125 would take a crazy long 4 days. Still much prefer big tournaments over such long one to one races to xxxxxxx. Right now, Chang is the one to beat in long races.
I would also throw Orcullo in with those 3 as top tier in money games cos he has higher gear in money games than tournaments.

It's still recent (in geologic time) -- Reyes defeated Strickland 120-117 in 3 days in 1996 in Hong Kong.
Was Shane ducking Chang, or could be that they couldn't come to terms to play at that time. And since when is a race to 50 an indicator as to how a race to 100 would turn out? 50-43 is only the halfway point last time I checked, and as it was pointed out, of the last 15 games they played, Shane won 12 of them, Chang won 3. So no, that don't decide who's going to win to 100.The bark is for show, but it's great marketing if Shane really wants this match. Everyone at the Derby watched Shane duck Chang. If he feels better about the match up now, good for Shane, but why would he, given that he lost a race to fifty by a score of 50-43 to Chang in May.
Hope it happens. In a race to 125, my guess is Shane can bet a lot more than 20-30K if he wants. The JL Chang gang likes to bet it up real high. My guess is they would want to bet a minimum of 30K, but they'll likely want to bet much more than that if they have to fade the travel expenses. Seems the next opportunity for a match-up would be after the International 9-ball event in Chesapeake in October, but who's to say whether this works with either of their schedules?
Like you, I don't recall any race to more than 100 in the history of streamed pool. I know I'd probably wait until at least day three to start watching the stream of a race to 125, as I don't have it in me to watch a match of this length.
If this match happens, it's a certainty that the winner will be .... the fans.

What's even funnier, is that no one cares what you think...LOL

nah, i agree with him. race to 100 is just a novelty thing without any bigger importance. it can be quite boring as well.
Nothing can fix a short attention span!!
i can watch 1p matches to 40, no problem. but rotation games get really monotonous when watching up to 199 racks with the same two players.
