An Illinois youth wrestler who sucker punched his rival after losing their fight has been cited by cops following the violent attack.

Hafid Alicea, 14, was issued the citation by the Oak Park Police Department on Thursday after admitting to officers he punched his opponent because 'he was angry that he had lost the match,' according to TMZ.

It was recently reported that the parents of Cooper Corder, the young man who was on the receiving end of the punch, had decided to press charges.

The incident occurred in Oak Park, Illinois, during a third-place, 125–128-pound match at this year's edition of the Beat the Street Developmental FS tournament.

Corder, representing SPAR Academy, defeated Alicea, of Maine West High School by a score of 14-2, according to TMZ Sports. The unexpected blow came after the match ended, when both competitors were set to shake hands, and leaving parents and other young athletes shocked.

Good for those parents!

Hafid? Doesn’t sound as American as Apple pie.

Someone smack that reporter. A wrestling match is not in any way a "fight." It's a competition.

I googled it.

Hafid is a Muslim Boy name that is originated from the Arabic language. Hafid name meaning is “Offspring or Descendant”.

In his case it now means “your ass is mine” in American.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

The way we were all raised was to be good sports. Whatever the outcome, shake hands and be friends. That's the American way. Evidently it's not the Muslim Hafid way.

And we all remember the old saying: "It's not whether you win or lose; it's how you play the game …"

Countdown to how long it will take the evil and decrepit FJB to invite Hafid to the white hospice for a ceremony?

14 years of age, so nothing happens.
He should be banned from wrestling right through high school.

“Hafid Alicea, 14, was issued the citation by the Oak Park Police Department on Thursday”

Sudden Jihad syndrome. I wonder who he learned this crap from. His parents? Yes.

[GaltAdonis]

Yeah -
Punching your winning opponent is NOT the way to be a good sport, Hafid.

[FroedrickVonFreepenstein]

Corder, representing SPAR Academy, defeated Alicea, of Maine West High School by a score of 14-2, according to TMZ Sports.

Lost 14-2, was totally dominated in the match. What a little bitch. Good on the parents for pressing charges. Now the pressure needs to be put on the punks school to ban him from all sports.

Hillary Clinton attended Maine East High school. Not arguing any connection of course.

[Tom Tetroxide]

It's an Arabic Muslim name. Yes, he's a jihadi who was doing jihad against the Infidel when he threw that punch.

[HamiltonJay]

Import the third world, get the third world.

[xxqqzz]

Deport the kid and his parents.

[Deplorable American1776]

He thought WWE was real wrestling, so when you lose, you beat the other guy. Just wondering did he have a folding chair and hit him over his head?

[Frank Drebin]

There will come a day, sooner rather than late, when the tolerance and patience of a people will reach its end.

What a terrible day it will be. I hope we are all prepared.

"...drip-drip-drip..."

[Jewbacca]

He needs to be banned from wrestling for life.

[Bernard]

14-2 in that weight class is an old-fashioned whuppin. Probably an experienced wrestler for 5 years of so against a kid who started wrestling when he got to high school.

The !oser should get used to thst. He might be wrestling against kids his own weight, but much better and practiced in the sport.

Of course, the loser should be banned from all future competition but that’s unlikely. The whole point of amateur sports is to teach and expand sportsmanship, not act out like a spoiled brat.

[A strike]

Hafid get the f out of the UnitedStates, and take all your homeboys with you, especially brother marrying felon Ilhan Omar.
