If Golden Gloves hadn't gone "citizen only" - perhaps no bombings in Boston
"A Battered Dream, Then a Violent Path"
http://j.mp/167gOK5 (New York Times)
"It was a blow the immigrant boxer could not withstand: after capturing
his second consecutive title as the Golden Gloves heavyweight champion
of New England in 2010, Tamerlan Anzorovich Tsarnaev, 23, was barred
from the national Tournament of Champions because he was not a United
States citizen.
The cocksure fighter, a flamboyant dresser partial to white fur and
snakeskin, had been looking forward to redeeming the loss he suffered
the previous year in the first round, when the judges awarded his
opponent the decision, drawing boos from spectators who considered Mr.
Tsarnaev dominant.
From one year to the next, though, the tournament rules had changed,
disqualifying legal permanent residents - not only Mr. Tsarnaev, who
was Soviet-born of Chechen and Dagestani heritage, but several other
New England contenders, too. His aspirations frustrated, he dropped
out of boxing competition entirely, and his life veered in a
completely different direction."
