He's from the south.

He's from the South. Lots of people from the South have trouble saying English words or names, let alone foreign names.

I remember Lou Holtz saying this Martinez' kids name like this: Mart-In-Ez.

[John Barron]

he was on point with matthysse's name though for some reason. larry was struggling to say his name so roy told him to just call him lucas.

Who gives a **** how to pronounce their names? It's not American and they're not American names so it's not as if they mean anything. They should just have names like Hank Jones or **** West instead of this mumbo-jumbo speak that makes no sense and doesn't deserve proper pronunciation. I'm American after all, and they're from small Islands and stuff so they should learn American and give themselves proper names that actually mean something to us. USA! USA!

Gus Johnson is a good American name. Hoesesito? That makes no sense! That's not a real name. He should have a real name. An American name. Imma call him Joe. Joe is a good American name. Joe Sesito. I keep hearing people say Hoe-sesito but, but that's just foreign mumbo jumbo speak so I'll just ignore that and give him a good American name. He's fighting on TV after all and is deserving of a good American name.

What's going on with Roy not being able to pronounce foreign names?

Mathebula = "Mattabulu", "Matabalo"
Marroquin = "Maraquin", "Mariquin"
Nishioka = "Nishi...Noish...whatever his name is"



As an announcer he should train himself to pronounce those names properly before the broadcast starts. It does provide comic relief during the fights though.

i cannot tell if you are being serious or not


roy jones has been knocked the hell out three times and stopped badly once more. he's been boxing at the top of the game (sometimes against less than top comp,) since the early / mid 90's.


it's the punches that he took to the head that give him these problems with his speech. as a boxer ages the damage he takes from the punches he receives as an amateur, in training, and as a pro stay with him.
