Who else felt very sorry for Salita?

Do you get the feeling that he pissed Amir off? Amir sounded positively venemous on 5 live "So, I knocked him out in one round, does that make him chinny?"

 

Thanks:good. Here's the link for everyone else:

Although I didn't notice at the time, apparently Salita also entered the ring with an Israeli flag. No need to stoke **** like that up. Israel had nothing to do with the fight and that was a little inflammatory as well, IMHO.

 

Hmmmm wonder why this post go deleted?

Nope - he was as crafty as hell. All week everyone plays down the religous aspect of the fight being between a Jew and a Muslim. The on the day of the fight, Salita bring out the Israeli flag to the ring? Excuse me but what the crap is that doing there??? Salita was born in Ukraine, he represents the USA after leaving the land of his birth so where exactly does Israel fit into this???

I am glad AK came out in the green of Pakistan today but he should have grabbed a Palestinian flag from Prince Naseem (who was the first person to celebrate in the ring with AK) because that for him I am sure, would carry the same sentiment as the Israeli flag does for Salita! The point is why did Salita mix politics with sport? Glad he got his just rewards...

Reasons admin? Im just interested..

 

Lahori is right.

 

Yeah he did have a point..

Oh heres a video of what Salita had to say. according to him he wasnt hurt at all. BUT HE COULDNT EVEN REMEMBER HOW MANY TIMES HE WENT DOWN!!! Haha So to answer the thread question, NO i did not feel a tiny bit sorry for him. He shouldnt have brought the Isreali flag in and he should be respectful to Amir and say yeah the better man won.. Not "urmm i wasnt hurt by the two, ahem i mean three kds"

I saw the interview. I thought he still seemed dazed then. Seriously, I hope he was checked for concussion.

 

Lmao that's a great interview.

 

Salitas nationality is listed as Israeli on boxrec:huh

 

Duddy is also listed as British. Salita also used to be listed as Ukranian until recently. Read into that what you will.

 

Still crying about that bet?
Me too. Done £20 treble on Rees, Mitchell and Khan.
Went on my account before it says i bet £1.71 on it.
:twisted:

 

I think they changed it to Irish when he lost, as I thought they would.:roll:

 

Seriously? That tells you all you need to know about the veracity of Boxrec nationalities then.

 

I know, but I don't want a ban
