There's no chance that Syrian would have qualified anyway so it's pointless, people from that part of the world can't fight to save their life as all the embarrassing stats of them in boxing prove.

Very awesome story. Let's see...

Most online articles are all coming from ***ish websites, just like the infamous industry boxing writers that are American ***s.

Can't blame a Syrian fighter or the Assad Regime for this. In fact, most Kova & Lil'G fans would technically be rooting for what this guy did since Russian and Syria are pimp alliances, and everybody knows Russia ain't favoring no state of Israel!

So all you Russian boxing fans out there, learn something why racism in boxing, particularly trollism, has its paradoxes, especially when all the pro Russian fans on NSB are making fun of the Syrian. owned!

And for more technical knowledge of dirty politics, and not that Israel would care but perhaps ISIS, but if a Syrian fighter were to lose in the qualifier to an Israeli it would only add more drama. Has nothing to do with religion, particularly when Syria is soooo old and is mixed with Christian, ****** (and sects) etc... all politics

Well all of the forums ******s and antisemitic garbage have clearly outed themselves.

Thats a pretty broad brush to paint people with... You dont have to be a ****** or an anti semite to be critical of the state of Israel, particularly their facist government. Though I agree that there are some bigoted responses from some posters.

Threads like this makes it easy for me to update my ignore list which is always a positive

Take away the billions of dollars in U.S. and German military aide, as well as the Nukes, and you would see survival of the fittest.

There wasn't American or German or British support in 1958. The Americans stepped in the side of Egypt in 1954 and told Israel not to cross the Suez. The US didn't support Israel until after the 1973 war.

So. Israel won 3 wars (1948, 1954 and 1967) without US support. Neither Truman nor Eisenhower were Israel fans.

It was with the UK and French support them then.

Man, can't risk losing.


But it sucks for this guy, spend your formative years working towards a goal and suddenly your government holds you back because reasons.

The best way to prove a regiment and government wrong is going and fight the guy, then go and shake hands with him after the fight, that proves that the war is for politicians, and innocent people who die day a day have nothing to do with it.
