I always do that. I'm good with accents and impressions, so it comes naturally to me to "read in a voice".

This really shows your "maturity"...

(Though, I appreciate that you took kid Figueroa over Estrada... )

That was when i was 24, i wasnt that mature back then but how would you feel if one of your fav fighters disses you to your face like that??

"One day when I just came to America, a long time ago, four and a half years ago in LA...Hopkins for me was a very big legend, a famous guy...because I just came from Russia and I never had seen before any famous boxers. I saw De La Hoya, Mike Tyson, Hopkins [on TV}, so I was surprised when I saw [Hopkins] live at some show, it was [Sergio] Mora against Shane Mosley. I called Hopkins a couple...three times...'Bernard, Bernard'...to take a picture with him - but he didn't turn to me and I didn't get attention [from him]. I said 'okay, see you one day,'"

ahahahahahah

They wouldn't have let him in the U.S. if he was...
I remember that Kovalev was in the army, instead...
