that guy is a complete dick
the way he spoke to Pascal was bang out of order just because him and his yank network thought Bernard won the fight doesn't make it fact or give him the right to basically say to Pascal's face that he didn't deserve the win and that if it wasn't in Canada things would have been different
first off bhop was knocked down twice if he wins every other round which he didn't then we end up with 114-112 which is what one of the judges scored it anyway
it was in Pascal's hometown and he is the champ it's common knowledge as a challenger you to do more to win bhop needed at least a knockdown to make a case for a victory if you ask me
Marquez was knocked down three times against Pacquiao but earned a draw outboxing him for the rest of the fight pretty much the same thing happened here only difference is it's the American on the short end of the stick and being that Showtime are an American network they made a big thing out of it when it really wasn't
i have watched alot of boxing and that certainly wasn't the worst decision i have seen in fact i think they got it about right. there was no way that can be classed as a robbery imo
anybody else think he was out of line the way he spoke to Pascal?
You're all ****ing retards if you think Jim Gray was out of line in his post fight interview. I'll repost what I posted about it last night.
What the hell did you want him to ask after watching a 27 yr old champ just flat out RUN from a 45 year old for most of the fight besides 'how do you think you won the fight?' His job is not to play up to fighters but to seek out honest responses from how he sees it. He executed that perfectly.
Did you want him to say something like...oh what a great fight Jean! You really took it to him didn't you?!
Of course Gray asked Pascal how and why he thought he won the fight. Because anyone with half a god damn brain and with a set of eyes could see from Pascal's body language that he did not really think he won that fight.
Jim Gray "spoke for the fans", That is people's excuses for Larry Merchant's wild questions. Jim Gray is a hardcore version of Larry Merchant. He is more blatant and comes out with it, without beating around the bush.
He's a disgrace. Here he is with Pete Rose:
Jim Grey deserves a punch in the face.
i hate grey for doing that to pete rose and for many other things, but in this case he was actually doing it on the side of standing up for an injustice.......
for a guy like him, jim grey to tell hopkins he won the fight and then to go on to go up against showtimes fighter pascal, says volumes as to how this fight was perceived........... grey actually got this one right.
it's unprofessional to stroke the companies fighter and ignore the facts, its a reporters job to exploit injustices and grey was doing such..... for this i applaud him for once..............
what was unprofessional was the scoring of this fight, which was a clean cut victory for bernard hopkins.........
i mean seriously, he took pascal to school. was the french canadians afraid of roiting if their guy lost?????
He's a disgrace. Here he is with Pete Rose:

I remember that. Johnny Tapia demanded Jim apologize before he would talk to him after a fight of his right after that.
yeah but he ain't a yank though
It has nothing to do with nationality. Jim Gray just doesn't give a ****. Otherwise he wouldn't have gone after someone like Toney and definitely wouldn't have addressed Pete Rose as he did.
he did what needed to be done
asked
what needed to b asked
i liked it
i dont think he was tryin to back hopkins more
i mean
hes always been showtime
pascal is more of a showtime fighter then hopkins
yeah but he ain't a yank though

Yeah the showtime interviewer was very unfair to Pascal, who you could tell was not happy with his performance. I mean - what fighter can 100% commit to a rematch in the ring immediately after the fight in this boxing world?
uhmmmmmm, if Bernard won every other round besides the knockdown rounds the score would have actually been 116-110.
yeah my maths is pretty bad lol
basically what im saying is bernard was in a ****ing hole he couldn't dig himself out of
everyone that thinks he was robbed needs to go back and watch some more boxing because that was far from a robbery
that guy is a complete dick

you're a f@ggot homosexual like pascal
I'm not a big fan of Jim Gray and his antics sometimes but I didn't think he was out of line with his questioning last night. Pascal said he thought he won and Gray asked him to explain why he thought he won because everyone else that seen the fight knows he lost and he himself knows he lost.
Grey is a fukkng prick.
Pascal just fought his heart out, and Jim Grey gets in his face and starts giving him the 3rd degree. What a ****head. I have seem him disrespect other fighters like that as well.
