Max Eberle said:I was there. Watched the finals. One of the best played finals ever by Darren, against another one of the best played by Wu. With all due respect, the way Darren was playing I'd have given him an even chance or favored him against any of the boycott players. In Manila before the event Darren could not get any action because no one wanted to play him. How do you like them Apples? Great job Darren! I did not know he had only been playing American pool for 2 and 1/2 years!?! What! That's crazy.
What?! Darren gets weight from Gomez. You must have gotten your timeline messed-up. Now don't flame me for this because it's just the answer I got from Gomez after I saw your post.
Here's what Gomez said, "I give Darren weight when we play, will it look right to still give a world champion weight?".
Maybe somebody from Darren's side can shed light to this "weight" thing. I myself was surprised cause I was out of the loop for a while taking care of BMPAP work.
