Justin Bergman vs Tom Cousins

[JABSolstice]

Over the past year they met a few tomes on the UP table, what’s the balance?
Add this event and you’ll know who is better between the two

I could be wrong, but I believe they've only met twice in UPL finals with each one winning convincingly.

I think that Bergman is a monster barbox player, but Tom is a bit better. The approach is a bit better coming from English pool and his mental game is stronger. The end result reflects this.

As an American, I couldn't agree with you more. Cousins is obviously one of the top 2 or 3 in the world at bar box 8 ball, no American is going to beat him other than every once in a while.

Well, Shane’s backer is willing to bet to the contrary.

Score?

True, but NO top athlete in Any sport is FAT....
Have em play any player in top shape over 4 rounds....(Golf/Comparison) four days straight.
Ronnie O'sullivan ain't overweight, any great player in ANY sport is in SHAPE and not round.
Now if this man trimmed down about 40 lbs, then matters change dramatically.

That’s an English Beer Belly, it makes him shoot better

People are talking Bergman up for Mosconi Cup on a big table but he can't even win on a barbox, his supposed specialty, against a guy AZB says has about $30k in career earnings. No thanks.

Is that not just tracking his winnings in America? He has won loads in the UK (though I can't find any site that puts a monetary value on it). Hell he won £30k just for his money match against Ceasar Chandinga (one of the top African players).

Still is a bit embarassing for Bergman, not because Cousins isn't good, but because he predominantly plays on a completely different table with a cueball smaller than the object balls.

Clearly Cousins is a great player, but it's super embarrassing for Bergman given the all out PR campaign being waged here and elsewhere online to get him on the Mosconi Cup team. We are told that Bergman is a barbox specialist and he isn't even beating the Euro players at that, let alone people like Filler, FSR, Shaw, or Zielinski on a big table.
