Shane Van Boening is the Real Deal
Scott Soroko, 1/14/2008 | Major Pro Events

Shane Van Boening

As I watched our buddy Alex Pagulayan battling this young sensation through the night and into the early morning something came to me. There are very few players in the world that would play either of these guys even up.

Over the past year Shane has been on top of the world winning the US Open and many other major events, he is currently the best player in the United States.

Alex has the titles to back up just how good he is, and has recently found a new dedication to the game and even in his losses to Shane he showed us he can still compete at that level.

All three sets could have gone either way but Shane was able to beat Alex to the finish line every time winning 21-20, 25-21, and 25-23. Alex’s best chance came in the final set as he was breaking with a 20-16 lead. Some rolls went Shanes way as well as a champion like effort putting him back in the match and over took Alex 23-22. Shane finished the match off posting a 25-23 victory ending their 12 hour session.

I want to make sure everybody knows about this great crew at theactionreport.com. If it wasn’t for these guys we would only get to read about the great matches, but their live video feed from the action room at the Derby City Classic kept many of us on the edge of our seats as they say “sweating the action”. How great is it that I can watch this action online from the comfort of my home. I was cheering on Alex from my couch and chatting with fellow Canadians online that were doing the same.

Watching the chat between all the Shane supporters and the Alex supporters was very entertaining as all these chatters talked about how one was better than the other. In the end it didn't matter who you supported if you were a billiard fan, these two men battled it out for 3 sets and over 18 hours to put on a show for us. With all the disagreeing in the chat room everyone came together as they thanked theactionreport.com for bringing them some of the best pool they had ever seen to their computer screens. I’m here to tell you it was truly awesome! You will be able to buy the DVD’s of the coverage from their site and I suggest you do!!

What does the future hold you ask, well it looks like Shane Van Boening and Alex “the Lion” Pagulayan will be squaring off once again in March playing a race to 100 for pride and much more.
