Williams looks awkward head-bobbing and pigeon-walking along to "God Save The Queen" in front of hundreds of frowning Russkies.
Maskaev could be Golovkin's fat old uncle. They both have the drawn pale skin, big eyes, squarish head and duckbill lips.
I hope doesn't Williams get f'd up. Man this is looking like Rocky IV with everyone standing up for the Russia anthem
Actually, you know who Maskaev resembles a lot right now? Bill Paxton. A fatter, wrinklier, more Russian looking Bill Paxton.
