    Perhaps what he ment is that it sounded to much like a sentence from school than from real life (just a guess, english isn´t my first language either) :)

    It was his complete lack of expression when the reported brought up the pizza face joke,which actually wasn't a joke.Lends support to the robot theory

    He has great english. I'm surprised. I've seen Wladimir fight a lot, and I've rarely seen him talk. I have no idea how that happened.

    it depends on the person: schwarzenegger couldn't even speak proper german (because he is from southern styria), other german native speakers are doing much better, like dirk nowitzki and heidi klum.

    If any of you've ever seen the movie or read the book "Everything is Illuminated" there is a brilliant line there by the main character's Ukrainian host/guide, he says: "Many girls want to be carnal with me... because I'm such a premium dancer!"

    Technically there's nothing wrong with the sentence... except everything. :D
    Wlad's diction and speech patterns are fairly consistent with Eastern Europeans who learn English

    I waited about an hour for this interview to be on ESPN First Take as it was advertised but basketball, the draft, and everything got in the way so I had class and ended up missing it.

    No way does he want to punish him for 12 rounds. That's merely a PR promo line.

    Wlad wants to take him out as soon as possible. The longer Haye is in there, the danger of Wlad losing is still there.

    Regardless of what he says to the press, I think we'll see Wlad get on Haye, and get on him hard, and fast.

    I think Haye will be knocked by by round 7, at the very latest. Possibly as early as round 4.

    Add commas:

    "...if I knock him down, he is to GET UP, so I can continue the process..."


    You could also substitute "he is to" for "he better"

    Not bad for a fourth language.
