Dmitriy Salita: hate chants floored me !

[20/20vision]

What the hell is he crying for? You stepped in the ring with a guy way out of your league and instead of talking about boxing all I hear out of his mouth is *** this, ****** that. How about 'I got my ass whooped and I got a lot of things to work on?' This got nothing to do with religion and hate and all of that, son. Either suck it up and get back in the gym or go do your rabbi thing and leave the fight game alone.

I respect ANY fighter who goes into the ring, And so should you.

[Titing Kabayo]

[El Castigador]

So instead of calling the fans classless and ignorant you call salita soft?????

Not like it would have changed the outcome, but some fans should be killed.

Salita: hate chants floored me

Salita hits the deck



Dmitriy Salita, the previously unbeaten ***ish boxer who was floored by ****** fighter Amir Khan in just 76 seconds on Saturday night, said this week that antisemitic chanting may have cost him the fight.
Speaking exclusively to the JC, Salita, who won his previous 31 bouts, said: “It was over before it started. I was in great shape and well prepared but the antisemitic chanting left me completely overwhelmed.”


Rabbi Dovid Lewis, of Newcastle United Hebrew Congregation, accompanied Salita, wearing his traditional Magen David-decorated shorts, from his dressing room to the ring. He said: “We were shocked at the vitriolic abuse shouted at Dmitriy. It was antisemitic swearing and spitting with a lot of pushing and pulling.”
A man from Manchester, who was wearing a kippah and sitting among the Khan supporters, suffered a cut face when a can was flung at him along with antisemitic abuse.
“After 76 seconds it was all hell let loose,” said the 45-year-old.
“Four guys were being held back by their friends from jumping on me.



They were really surging to get me with hate on their faces. They were shouting f---ing ***, any swear word you can think of, and making any gesture you can think of. I’ve never been so frightened in my life. There was hate I’ve never experienced in England before.
“I think some were using Khan as a trophy and giving themselves a lot of pride that they’ve beaten the ***s.”


The Ukrainian-born boxer, who now studies at a Chabad yeshiva in Brooklyn, said: “The experience of fighting away from home, and the crowd being so against me, left me shocked.”
Rabbi Lewis said: “Dmitriy was stunned, but not hurt. He showered, put on fresh clothes and his tzitzes, and we learned into the night.”


On Tuesday, Salita was reunited with his new wife, Alona, whom he married in New York in September. The couple flew to Israel. Salita was invited by the immigration agency, Nefesh b’Nefesh, to spend a week in Israel, and he is said to be considering aliyah. He said: “I’m going to Israel to reflect. Everything that happens is for a reason.”

What a joke. A hostile crowd? Cry me a river.

I was at the Khan VS St Claire fight and there were loads of groups of 30 or so Pakistani guys. I was with 1 friend and it was very intimidating and as they were rowdy and trying to fight 10 Irish guys who stood infront of them when they were looking at the stars before the fight. The Irish guys left in the 11th because the Pakistani's were all standing up ready to fight after the 10th it seemed.

I can imagine that these guys would do that ****.

Anyway I don't think the crowd helped with Khan's speed. Not like he faced adversity for 12 rounds.

Excuses, excuses, excuses...who does Salita think he is??? he was born in Ukraine, he lives in Brooklyn and is now in Israel.....WTF??? Khan tapped your arse...end of story

[Drunk Punch]

The only excuse coming out of his mouth should be "I wasn't good enough."

[wXh..]

The only excuse coming out of his mouth should be "I wasn't good enough."

lol Salita should stfu and take the ass whooping like a man. This is what Khan said after Prescott knocked him out in the first round: It wasnt really much of a fight because I kinda rushed in and he caught me with some powerful shots in the very first round and that was it basicly. But no excuses, he was the better man that night.
