One pocket match Allen vs Diliberto

[middleofnowhere]

This is a fun watch. While somewhat over the hill, it gives a small glimpse of just how good Ronnie was in his prime. He could really play.

Thanks, this is great stuff.
Brings back lots of memories of Ronnie back in the day. And one pocket matches at Harry's place just north of Seattle.

Yeah you really have to watch it on the YouTube on a TV set. But this was great it reminds me of years ago sitting sweating matches with players that kick and shoot and duck and woof at each other for big money.

Ronnie Allen was incredible a guy plays a perfect safety on him walks away only for Ronnie to kick something and run out. I remember one player telling me the worst thing you could do to Ronnie was put him in a desperate spot because when he shoots out of desperation you're going to lose.

Then to have UJ Puckett on the show as well was a treat for me .

Maybe the equipment and players of today have become too good, too perfect, and too similar in style to be as enjoyable to watch as these old matches.

the old matches had players with personality instead of boring no expression shooters.

ronnie was a funny guy and interacted with the sidelines. made lots of comments and kept his opponents mesmerized and entertained.
you just couldnt do any business with him as he could not be trusted in any way.

he tried to trap me in some scams a few times.
finally got me on the putting green at the sahara golf course in vegas.
that didnt work out so well for him for all his cash. and the funny thing was he didnt even recognize me.
