At least there is no one named Klitschko standing in Proksa way.:deal Who's next???:think This content is protected This content is protected :happy:happy:happy
Proksa cannot be a G unfortunately being a white Polish kid and all but damn!!! Good **** today, I'm a fan, he's an exciting fighter on the rise at MW that I was unaware of
People think i am a fan boy because of my screen name but if you ever paid attention on my assesment of Polish fighters i have been more criticle then blinded by nationalism. I pumped Proksa up because i have known since his pro debut he had the goods. proksa a Super G!!!!
What I'd like to know is how to pronounce that consonant-laden first name. :scaredas: "Grrrrr-zeggers"?
Listen to the first word of this interview - that's his name. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CnFMyFpMrE#t=19s
That was fast (I had to run it back a few times) but sounded like "Gzz-egg-oars" :think So the first R is silent?
Ah, thank you. :good To English speakers, non-digraph consonant clusters together like that feels very awkward and clunky on the tongue. If (or should I say when? :smoke) Proksa becomes a major star in the sport and known to American audiences his name will inevitably get ****ed up about 98% of the time. He could always go the Almazbek Raiymkulov route and get a nice catchy nickname. :yep
Plus, in Polish some letter are pronounced differently. Like the w is said like a v & vica verse. And L's are pronounced like "wa". So Golota doesn't really have an L sound in the middle, but a "wa" sound. Go-WA-ta. :good
It is because there is no letter 'L' in Andrew's surname. In original it is Gołota, no Golota :good.
