When i was younger i could speak and understand spanish, to this day i can still kinda of understand spanish but i have no idea how to speak it...He just dnt want to sound like an idiot when trying to speak english...

Agree, it's usually easier to understand a language then to speak it.

He gets asked in english, understands it, and replies in spanish. Whats going on? He must obviously speak english - why doesn't he? PR pride? He understands it but perhaps he can't fully express his thoughts and answers in English the way he would like. It is possible that his statements could even be distorted by him unintentionally saying something wrong. Anyone who speaks a language other than there original langauge knows that its easier to understand a new language than to express yourself in it.

I think he spoke to Larry Merchant after that last fight he had, almost sounded like Wlad lol

He has on some videos i seen here on boxingscene i think.His english isnt that great,hes said that he uses someone to translate because he dosent want to say the wrong thing.

its much harder to speak english than to comprehend it.
