    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
    That is truly the most pathetic post I've yet to read on here, congrats.

    Nope. Her Dad introduced her to it. He doesn't want her to become professional as he doesn't want her to fight for her life. She chose boxing over football - another sport which she excelled at - because boxing was her first love.

    F U Rte Player, F U in the A. Cut out at second round, look like the site crashed.

    Legged it down the other end of the building to the gym tv just to catch the result.

    Savage stuff.

    She's not rough at all. Comes down as very down to earth and modest.

    What is your problem? She comes across as sweet and dedicated and is a winner, what's not to admire?
    What part of anything I said is about had anything to do with dedication, admiration or being a winner ?

    Had he? Forced? Check your facts.

    She was still playing competitivly for the Irish Football team up until 3-4 years ago, whilst boxing as well which suggests she did have a choice

    I would question any fathers parenting skills that introduces their daughter to getting her head smashed

    How? People go on about how good looking (or not) loads of athletes are then start saying Taylor is. Just because she's Irish she's automatically a cracker and no one can say otherwise? Reel your neck in.

    Who said she was a cracker? She doesn't look like a model but she's pretty, in great shape, and comes across as a total sweetheart. And she's a world class athlete and almost at national hero status.
    If you fail to find anything attractive in there you're dead on the inside!

    Yeh teaching your daughter to defend herself is absolutely shocking. Shocking stuff. Call the ISPCC.

    I'm sure he'll be calling his own fatherhood into question when she arrives home with an Olympic medal. Terrible terrible man.

    Would you be saying this if it was the son getting introduced to boxing? Somehow I doubt it.

    Again. Being a sweetheart or in great physical shape is nothing to do with what I said

    If she was a 135 kg weightlifter would anyone be commenting on her being attractive. I highly sucking doubt it. Proof being how when I said the Chinese one that won the weightlifting yesterday wouldn't be out of place in the men's it got a good few thanks.there wouldn't be anyone saying it if she wssnt Irish. Hence, double standards.

    Really, I think she is quite a looker and on panels she certainly comes across as very intelligent and it really is about her sporting performance which was obviously world class.
