    Is it just me or when Golovkin says "mexican style" its sounds ******?

    He uses it out of context and its cringe worthy, and the Eastern European accent makes it even worse. He sticks "mexican style" in places where it's not even suppose to be.

    For example "Me and Canelo fight, you know mexican style, exciting fight I want rematch mexican style, the judges mexican style, all the fans I love you"

    WTF

      His whole schtick sounds lame to English speakers because he can barely speak the language. Sounds real lame haha.

      But Lame or not he whipped Canelos ass.

          Sounds pandering but doesn't really bother me. His shtick has got it's charm and I think it's good that he speaks to the camera, no matter how terrible his English is.

            You either hate everything he says or its f#cking almost adorable. He's got that Manny thing going on. There isn't a lot of middle ground to be discussed, you either think he needs to stfu or sing funny sounding songs all day long.

            An adorable voice + a big punch = winning combo in boxing, Tyson to Manny to GGG. People love a destructive mfer who sounds a lil goofy. Its the perfect combo.

            Crazy power + average voice = you'll get attention, but not superstardom.

            Average power + average voice = no one cares.

                I understand everything he's trying to say, at least he's learned and makes an attempt to speak in English, unlike Canelo.

                  It's the most cringeworthy thing in the sport right now.

                    agreed. but can we have a translator there to translate it to ggg and if ggg wants to answer it himself then he can do so.

                    i think the problem is ggg not fully understanding the question being asked that's why his response is always out of the norm.

                    plus, interviewers need to know their limit, when their interviewing a foreign fighter, stop using big words! just keep it real nice and simple.
