Katie Taylor. Do you think you could beat her in a fight?

Strength wise there's probably not a lot between me and Katie but with her boxing smarts I'm sure she'd have me spread-eagled on the canvas in under 5 seconds. So yes Katie Taylor would beat my ass.

Cardio is big part of this too. Most guy think they could fight all day but the truth is most cant shadow box, or do bag work for 30 seconds hard. Adrenaline management and breath control are very important too. 30 seconds will seem like a life time if you are leathering it. I've left my lunch outside the gym on more than one occasion after a 3 minute session Gassing out is about the most horrible physical feeling I've ever felt!

ps: I was only protecting myself from the "internet hardman" accusation Maki. I actually hate the idea of violence but if its going to happen, I'm going to make sure I'm ok as best I can. Actually, we've at CCXI as you recall and yer a big fecker for sure

Worse feeling in the world, stupidly I competed out of condition and its truely horrible.

Your getting battered, your coaches and friends are screaming at you and your mind & body are just gone into survival mode - sorta like getting back into the gym after the Christmas break

Oh I hate violence too, I've often posted about it here. Once recently when an AH Mod was in the bar where I worked too - a young lad was beat up rather badly outside at the Ballyier bus stop simply for being gay - I abhor violence and I know I should be used to it but I'm honestly gutted when I see violence brought to the innocent like this.

Oh I remember meeting you of course, that was a great night.. Indeed all the Cage Contender events are special (guys if you like MMA check out the Cage Contender events and get your bums on seats.

Back to K.T. - fantastic athlete and by all accounts a lovely girl, its not nice seeing some of the disrespectful comments made about her here.

Does anyone else find her ridiulously attractive?

She's a very pretty girl, but far too toned for my tastes. She's going down madonna territory.

I could not disagree more with the second part of that!

In a boxing match, I have no doubt she would lay me to waste. In a no holds barred street fight, I'd be forced to hold her down on the ground giving her the odd dig. This would be the only way I'd win.
On saying that, I'd be crying while doing any of it, because she is most definitely someone kids of all ages and sexes should be looking up to.

She'd probably bench press you off her

To the guys saying they'd beat her in a street fight because they could get on top of her, How exactly do you think you'd get her down?? Shes fast as lightening, she'd prob just step over you as you made a lunge for her and fell over

+1
you'd probably get knocked out before you'd get close enough to take her down

In an amatuer boxing match, under rules, not a fúcking chance. I boxed for a long time and I'm still pretty fit and fast, with a huge reach and weight advantage, but I doubt I'd land a clean shot in 3 rounds while she'd pick me off at will. We mostly don't realise in this country just how good she is. In comparative terms, she's Tiger Woods, Brian 'Driscoll or Messi. Possibly our greatest performer ever, technical, focussed, fast, durable and no sign of losing the run of herself or getting overconfident. 11 Euro titles and 3 World's. Incredible boxer. When you know what you're watching, her quality is dizzying.

I love football, but in a choice between seeing her make history and going to Poland, I've decided on London.

Some of us do realise how good she is. Which of course makes the relative lack of recognition she gets all the more annoying.

I probably couldn't beat any pikeys in a fight.
