He was a tough son of a bitch,teak tough cookie! French based Arab who used to fight in his backyard packed with a rabid crowd of French based Arab fans.
Sinitsin kicked his ass-Djelti's fans went beserk-Sinitsin was glad to be out of Djelti's home turf,alive.
I know him well, he became coach, I even read his book called "the sunbelt" is from a family of "Harki" his father is Algerian, but he fought for France during the war in Algeria. He had struggled early in his professional career because he worked hard to help his family. now he is coach at the same time respensable regional federal.

I'm not sure the scoring in his fight with Barrios makes any sense...
~ referee: John Femia | judge: Reg Thompson 237-228 | judge: Frank Cairo 239-224 | judge: Frank Skilbred 239-222 ~
~ World Boxing Union super featherweight title ~
:huh

Must have been somekind 20 point must system instead of normal 10 point system.
It would be very interesting to hear more about this kind of real warrior! He has had shortly to say very strange start for pro career when remembering that he rose himself even to EBU champ!
