    Are Canadians ashamed of Pascal's performance?

    I have read that when the draw was announced many people in the crowd were booing the decision.

    Hopkins has said that many Canadians came up to him that night to say that he had won in their eyes.

    Is Pascal still the pride of Canada or has his perfomance created a 'No Mas' image of their fighter?

      not ashamed

      disappointed


      Pascal has been doing something wrong lately, the pace of this fight was really slow, and he was already fatigued at the end of the fourth

      I'll continue to support him, even though he got his arse kicked saturday

      and don't be mistaken : most fans in there were still rooting for Pascal at the end of the fight, Hopkins was getting boo'ed when he would climb in a corner while Pascal was appaluded

      I know, I was there...

        Pascal is not the pride of Canada. Canadians, in general, don't give a **** about boxing. It barely gets any coverage on our national sports news. That said, combat sports are much much bigger in the province of Quebec, than in the rest of Canada. Maybe he's a bigger deal there. I don't know. If I asked the average sports fan around here who Pascal is, they wouldn't know. They wouldn't know who Bute is either, or Steve Molitor. Boxing is pretty much a third rate sport in the majority of Canada.

            in Quebec, Bute is big, he has become a popular persona, kind of an icon

            Pascal was slowly getting there, but his rep took a hit

              One of the reasons I ask is, will this affect how many people will turn out and watch Pascal fight again?

              I wouldn't want Pascal's performance to break down any talks of a Hopkins rematch.

                    Do you think people will be turned off by his performance if a rematch is renegotiated?

                    I still think Pascal has his hardcore fans but I wonder how popular boxing is in Canada and whether many people were turned off etc.
