    If you've ever tried boxing you'll know how hard it is even to hold your guard for 2 or 3 minutes never mind swinging digs

    They're not being forced to fight for people's entertainment. They're athletes who put their lives into what they do. Would ya cop on like!
    Not sure about that. Hadn't her father channelled her down this route since she was 8? Seems an odd route to force your daughter down

    I wonder if she's still single?


    Id say you'd be red raw after a romp with her! What a performance best fight I've seen in ages she is simply brilliant!

    I love the slo-mo of her shouting "come on" at the Irish support, amazing!

    I cringe when I hear the fields of Athenry, football is one thing but at a boxing match? Urgh

    Rubbish. Sharpen your sensibilities and let some pride effuse your soul. The support out there today was brilliant. The support we give our sports teams at all levels of international competition is top notch.

    You may want to see women smacked around I dont particularly

    So you must be against Judo, Fencing, Karate as well maybe The Olympics aren't for you, you should head of to Saudi Arabia or even Afghanistan where you will get people to agree with you.

    If you actually knew how Katie Taylor took up boxing and werent talking out your anus you'd know that the point you made is redundant

    Jesus. Some crazy double standards being thrown around. Some of the women that get passed of ordinary looking ion here and people cramming themselves over Taylor . She's rough lads and talks like a heavy smoker. A million Irish passports won't change that .

    Getting punched in the face definitely won't change her for the better either

    I was in the same class in Secondary School as Katie and I still can't believe she's on the big stage. Very proud of her. Fully confident she can take the gold :)

    By that logic, we shouldn't watch any sport.

    Anyone who has some stupid grudge against anything about Katies fight is either a prick, or begrudging twat or worse still has no clue what they are talking about.

    Katie you were immense today and have done the country proud.

    Fair play to British fighter for true sportsmanship.

    Womens Boxing is rubbish eh? Some Joke that was:pac::pac:

    What is your problem? She comes across as sweet and dedicated and is a winner, what's not to admire?

    Yup supporting our teams in great voice is an issue it seems. Was the same with the Euros. Pathetic stuff
