Anyone else think Jim Gray was a bit out of order last night?

    I had Bhop winning clearly but i thought he was quite rude to Pascal in his questions; a showtime world champion, and a good young fighter

    Yep he was very rude and unprofessional and just came across as a dick. Didn't even want to acknowledge the fact that Pascal scored two knockdowns which wold have helped Pascal get that draw. He tried to skew what happened to suit B-Hops claim of a robbery.

    The public saw a robbery. If Gray didn't address it and sugarcoated over it, there would be further outcry.

    Pascal was talking bull**** 'I won the fight...errrr...' Jim Grey called him on that **** and Pascal couldnt answer why he won thus making himself look stupid.

    Actually from what i saw Pascal is not very good, he gasses in every fight, he has a low workrate and an ugly style, I see a younger, stronger and harder puncher in Tavoris Cloud beating Pascal and taking the WBC belt, I don't think Pascal would fair well against any of the Super Middleweights if they moved up, Bute, Ward, Froch or Glen.

    Pascal will lose his next fight i believe.

    If you want to address a robbery than interview the judges. Pascal isn't responsible for the scoring of the fight. He turned up and tried his best... and he is confident enough to think that he won. Being a dick to Pascal was not really justified in any way

    I don't think he was out of order really, Pascal said he felt he'd won and Gray asked him why he felt that considering Hopkins threw and landed more punches. Not too inappropriate IMO

    Everyone who knows anything about boxing knows he's fighting Chad Dawson next, or either a rematch with Hopkins, so yea i do know who he's fighting next one of the two.

    No it wasnt rude, the robbery on the other hand was rude and disgusting. Gary just did what most boxing reporters are too ***** to do and that is point out the obvious corruption in boxing. Pascal was the one being rude got his ass handed to him then just labelled b-hop a cheater WTF.

    I rooted for Hopkins, I scored the fight for Hopkins, I'm upset about the result, but that was well out of line from Gray. Commentators sould never EVER give up impartiality. On one hand you have them (different team I know) covering up for their own when Alexander gets his ass schooled ('close fight' and 'Devon learned from it' crap), but when their own gets jobbed (and it was closer IMO than that other one), they get well out of line and amost call Pascal a liar for stating he though he won. Guess what, Tarver had it for Pascal and that alone made Grey look foolish.

    Hopkins got jobbed, as well as Lebedev yesterday in Germany, but let us the public decide for ourselves for ****sakes, don't feed your opinion in our mouth either way. Enough with the double standards, either call out EVERY fighter who won a controversial decision (it was a draw BTW) or don't call out anyone (I vote for this). Just have some consistency, that's my whole point.

    Jim Grey is a dickhead, tried using punch stat numbers which never tell the whole story to back him up when Pascal couldn't have possibly know the numbers.

    Merchant asks hard ball questions too but never injects his opinion like its fact.
