Heel turn for the Kazakstan girl. She blanked her opponent after losing and had to be pulled in for the official decision

Handy win for Katie again today, she's just head and shoulders above the rest.

Final tomorrow at 4.45.

lol'd at the difference in foot work.

Boss: So what'll you do if she wins the gold medal?
Me: Hard as it might be, I'll just try to carry on as normal... try to keep some semblance of routine and normality in my life. Y'know, try not to let her achievement change me as a person.


I can perhaps be a little too dry sometimes....

Must be some amount of pressure on Katie Taylor's shoulders right now, rte are almost putting together the winning montage.

That a girl, Katie

Delighted for Taylor!

Oh god no! not all of our fans trying and failing to sing our national anthem. Lets hope they put the words up on screen even then they will make a hash of the end where it always turns into random shouting and come on Ireland.

I think this thread title is due a change. Very tight fight, but fantastic.

Well done Katie

GTR63

There are rumors on twitter that Marty Morrissey will finally call out Brian Cody after Katie's post fight interview.

I like it. That was a very nerve-racking quarter of an hour. Amazing though. Bray will be hoppin.

I heard the people over it were saying 100,000 or there abouts. And Bray only has like, what, 35,000 population at best?

Diabhal is all about the Hurling semi sunday, watching Pat Spillane talk about it on Championship Matters was like watching a lesbian trying to talk about Men.

Good aul Pat or Brolly-lite. You heading up? Have about 20 people going to it for it and I never get more than 10 normally for big Galway games.

GTR63

No i'll be watching it from behind the couch, hoping Ger Canning ain't commentating. I'm nervous as hell that we'll pull another vintage Galway and after a good performance just no show the thing altogether. Pity the minors aren't playing this weekend too.
Gutted for Paddy Barnes drawing with a guy that beat him 15-0 four years ago and to lose 45-44 on countback was sickening.
