Kinda funny... more ironic. He is one of the best 3 cushion players on the planet.
I'd give him the 8 playing 9 ball if he gave me 45 in a 3 cushion race to 50

I don’t know what speed you play you play….but Blomdahl has beaten Efren in a 9-ball exhibition match…and he has run some 100s at snooker.
sorry
He has run 100 at 14.1 and plays reasonable one pocket. He has played in a European pool league in which each player played various disciplines. But I think that picture is from 20 years or so ago.

And I'll add that Mr. Blomdahl is an amazing verbal host for billiard videos.
I guess it is largely due to the 'simplicity' of 3 cushion, but he almost always knows the shot when he sees a layout and he drops wisdom re the subtleties (speed, stroke type, where the kiss will be, whether a long or short attack path is best...), in about 8 languages!
Together with BvM the move to better billiards is afoot: why do mid level players miss? Most often due to choosing the wrong shot and not because of striking shortcomings.
