Khan v Malignaggi weigh in kicks off!!

[skel1983]

[ono]

Good read is that. Sounds like madness. Not sure where the reporter is going towards the end of it though.

I think what he was getting at, with a group of guys looking thuggish sporting Pakistan flags and other militant stuff whatever that means. People could jump to conclusions in a city and jump them or something. People are a bit on edge in NYC right now

I just don't think he needed to go there. It was irrelevant to the weigh-in. Plus the Americans should be ok with the Khan army clothing. Afterall, it is just that - clothing. If it troubles them, it makes the Cinco de Mayo/Us Flag t-shirt outrage a little hypocritical.

haha it is funny how when the other side does it, the dreaded minorities, all of a sudden national flags take on a sinister and intimidating character. Poor America was in fear it seems, terrorised by these evil men wearing their milataristic, hate inspired tshirts. Di bella nearly pulls out his fighter over the threat.

I think they needed that school principle there. He wouldn't have let Khan's army into the building dressed in that garb and they would have not been there to kick off :-)

Haha my sentiments exactly mate.

[Mo Frazier]

The Khan supporters had no reason to get up there were the fighters were.. You're not supposed to be up there, jackass, go stand with the rest of the fans.

[KananKrus]

Khan KTFIR Paulie, which bears out a reality talk show of sorts for the latter, staged in a beauty parlor somewhere in NYC.

[Jesse James]

I'm not a fan of Paulie but I hope he KOs Khan now. F&%k "Khan's Army" coming into my country with all that thug BS. And obviously the reporter was referring to the fact that the clown who tried to blow up Times Square was a Pakistani.

Lou Di Bella what a pussy, did anyone watch the weigh in? Hahahahah when news first broke about this I was expecting fireworks, it was fuck all ffs, little bit of pushing and shoving the way Di Bella was reacting you would think someone had just stamp all over his head and his entire team, now I have just read Di Bella wants fines and suspensions for team " Khan " but it's ok for Paulie who has come out and said he threw out a few kicks and kicked Khan aswell, so Lou what punishment for your man? I suppose i can sympathise with Paulie maybe he was thinking with the amount of power that comes from his fist he would try a few kicks.

[Lefty]

Dont mess with homies from Bolton, England. Some bad ass guys up those ways. I wouldn't venture into Bolton if somebody paid me, I'ld get my head blown off!

Yea the "riot" was a little blown out of proportion, the shirts weren't that bad either as the writer seemed to suggest. One thing that bothered me was the rapping bastards at the end of the boxing scene video, just idiots. They were from L.A., acting all hard, part of Khan's crew. Apparently they are rapping for Khan's ring entrance...joy

Mate if you haven't heard Khan's ring entrance song written by one of his LA Bluds, your in for a treat. Truly cringeworthy stuff.

That makes you a hypocrite as well, no? Wasn't the writer thinking along the same lines as the teacher?

If you believe for a second it aint sarcasm, then you need your head testing

I think the writer is the hypocrite. Look at the ways the two stories are interperated. When the American schoolkids wore their flag inspired clothes on Cinda di Mayo day they are just happy go lucky, proudly patriotic, troop supporting, good clean American kids, the kind of loveable youths that help grandma across the road and do odd jobs to help their community.

But when Khan's team wear their Pakistani colours they are making an intimidating, terrorist supporting, American hating battle cry.

I hate the way the media interperate things for their own ends.

Look at the Wooten Basset march.

When us Brits mourned the deaths of British soldiers in Wooten Basset,it was all about respect for those brave men, solidarity with their familys and a show of unity against war and aggression.

But when the Muslims wanted to march through the same town to mourn the deaths (many times more as well) of their Arab bretheren killed in Afgansistan and Iraq they were ' evil' ,'fundamentalist', 'radical ', 'hate driven' so much so that a new law was rushed through to prevent them exercising their freedom of speech and incidently was supported by virtually the whole country.

The media and public bias in terms of interperating the behaviours of both sides is frankly staggering imo.

Haha, too right!

I have absolutely no issues with Khan's team wearing flags nor having the name Khan army. Khan army just sounds silly to me, but that is their choice. The issue I do have though is that if Malignaggi was told to have only 5 people up there and Khan had around 20 all thugged up, then that's probably not right. They certainly shouldn't have been getting involved in the weigh in. It's none of their business! Just as in the ring come fight night it is none of their business!

Some of those comments in the article make America look like one seriously paranoid police state. Well hello, stop bombing Pakistan and stop invading countries arbitrarily! It just comes back and bites you harder and people are getting testy about a boxers fans who happen to be Muslim and displaying support for their fighter? Please.

Apples and oranges dude. First off, those American kids were in their own country. They didn't go to Pakistan or some other country and try to rile things up. I don't think DiBella or anybody else gave a damn what Khans people were wearing, they had a problem with them all bum-rushing the stage like a bunch of thugs. And the writer was simply pointing out that the citizens of NY are on edge right now, and the wrong person might not be too keen on seeing some Pakistani militant clothing and the some Muslims acting like thugs.
