Reyes vs Feijen 2001

[jb1911]

Japan 9 ball championship. In the hour and a half video Allen Hopkins called him Efrem about 400 times. I had to turn the sound off. Fer Chrisakes, you're a professional announcer. The least you could do is learn the contenders names.

Was this the match where Efren won $150k or so?

Yes. He won 15 to 8.

And like the other thread, some people refer to him as Reyazz. Its Efren Reyes, not Efrem Reyazz.

Was that money correct, $160,000 for first place?

You should listen to Hopkins commentary on the Challenge of Champions when he called Fong Pang Chao "Fang Pi."

That's what the Americans all called him in the 80s, someone misheard it, then everyone said that, took years to be corrected.

I'm shocked! The reason it bugs me so much is that the guy deserves respect and as a "professional" announcer, the least Hopkins could do was learn his actual name.
