Dmitriy Salita: hate chants floored me !

[project xxx1]

He should see what Khan goes through sometimes in his own country getting booed in the barrera fight, People calling his younger brother all the rascial word they could use but am glad Newcastle came out and cheered Khan on that was great to see.

good post mate,i was at the khan vs barrear and yea he got boos all the way through by large part of the crowd,which is a shame but it was good to see all of newcastle give him loads of support,i remember when he fought in london he got a standing crowd cheering for him all way through.i think people in manchester dont really like him because theyve got murry and khan is a rival to murray and hatton even though they are good friends

He needs to grow thicker skin.

Unfortunetely, the people who attend boxing events aren't all sweetness and light.

He's embarrassed himself with these comments.

He needs to say to himself, sticks and stone may break my bones, but names will never hurt me.

A lot.

The crowd arent pakistani, they cant afford to watch a khan fight well apart from Khan's family in the front most of the people there in Newcastle are probably 95% caucasian.

Rubbish! Im not sayin there wasnt a lot of caucasian people shouting crap as well but im pretty sure there would be plenty of pakistani peope in the crowd! Give me a break, there are plenty of caucasian people that cant afford to go to a khan fight

indeed.

He also needs to respond like this to people who say the nasty things: 'Well, that's not a very nice thing to say.'

Salita: hate chants floored me


By Danny Caro, ***a Speker and Jonathan Kalmus, December 10, 2009
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.”

Have you ever been to a Khan fight??? like i said before 95% of the crowd are causacian and the mere pakistani people in there range from Khan's own family and a few minority so i dont get where you're getting your stuffs from.

[Mersey]

Hatton lost to Pac because somebody in the crowd called him fat.

He didnt actually say the hate made him lose, He was saying the hate surprised him.
