2-0 Filler.

This match will further prove pool is just balls and a stick. Doesn't matter the game. Brandon is a one pocket specialist, and Filler is brand new at it.

Brandon breaks jam up, got the mumps, leaves CB great. Filler immediately sees dead ball in stack, fires it in, and runs 6, before playing safe.

Filler leads 7-0. Wins game 8-0.

Shotmaking and natural ability trump "moves" every time if you're as good as Filler.

Well, he's been learning the moves. And he's learning how to bank. He looked amazing at DCC, but got derailed.

It's only a matter of time, especially since he's working in a stacked stable.

If a player is lets say the 8 better than another in 9 ball, and the weaker 9 ball player has been playing one hole his whole life, in about 1 month of daily 1 hole play, the stronger 9 ball player will beat him in one hole too. I've seen this forever with my own eyes at the pool room. Here we are seeing it with pros.

Yup, Freddie, you posted enthusiastically about the development of Filler as an all-around player just after the Derby, and it looks like you nailed it. He's gambled at bank pool with banks specialist Shannon Murphy, breaking even, and is now challenging Brandon Shuff, a one-pocket specialist, at one-pocket. He's a stone cold killer at 14.1, having run 285 to win the high run prize at Derby City in 2019. He'll soon take on eight ball monster Justin Bergman, so he's got nerves of steel.

Filler's commitment to continuing to develop his all-around game is something special, and one must reckon he wants to win the all-around at Derby City somewhere down the road. I, for one, am not betting against him accomplishing this at some point.

To be honest, though, the rapid pace of his development in the fringe disciplines surprises even me!

I’ll be shocked if he doesn’t win multiple MOT at Derby City.

Here's a fun hypothetical for you.

What do you think is more likely to happen in the next 10 years.

Filler winning 3 MOT's at Derby or Shane winning 1 World 9 Ball?
