    The lone Iraqi Boxer, Najah Ali, turned pro in the UK just 10 days ago in the Flyweight division. He is 28 now and a college graduate.

    He got the automatic bid in 2004 and went 1-1 at the Games. He graduated from a Iraqi University and then was accepted into the University of Houston, but was denied a student Visa.

    Just thought it was an intresting note
