    Never been able to warm to her. Not quite sure why. I don't know if it's the hype around her or what. People will say she's a world champions etc, and obviously she is, but a bit of context is needed there as well.

    She's very much like a female Bernard Dunne. Fights are carefully picked for both

    True, but tbf-Taylor could win her fights.

    Dunne was waaay more overhyped. Met some serious competition, and got knocked on his a*se in 86 seconds.



    Skip to the 5 minute mark for the start of the fight, and skip to the 6:50 mark for the end.:D

    With a few exceptions most sports people are unbelievably dull,

    Im the same, i dont like her and its pretty inexplicable..
    She's world class, multiple champion, national hero...but just no. I'd have a passing interest in boxing but not bothered with any of her fights.
    Maybe its the god-bothering.

    She’s the most successful female amateur boxer of all time and is literally picking off the best professionals one by one. I think at this stage only one is left to catch

    This is what i mean about context. As an ''amateur'' she was pretty much a professional as she was being funded by Sport Ireland etc

    Pretty much every top level olympic athlete worldwide is a professional then if that is your criteria.

    What is the context that you say is needed?. She is deservedly recognized in the boxing world as one of the best pound for pound boxers of her generation, irregardless of gender. Fair enough, you mightn't like her, but there is no doubting her commitment, skill and behavior.

    That’s not really her fault and she doesn’t push it to be fair, besides praying before a fight and thanks after

    Ah it is-she's 'choosing' to believe that nonsense.

    It's not something you can't control-like a speech impediment or asthma.

    Simon Delaney, I just can't stand him. He sits on his big fat a$$e on Ireland AM and he's a master of everything. Cooking, DIY you name it! He just ingrates me so much. President of his own fan club too no doubt!

    Starting to get concerned every time I see him on TV.

    Him and Neven McGuire have gained an unhealthy amount of weight in the last few years.

    Easy, absolutely ****ing hate Billie Eilish. ****ing whispers, grunts, and haw and heaves in any “song” that’s hers that I’ve had the misfortune to endure. You’re not trendy, you’re not rebellious, and you’re certainly not unique. A millionaire of sorts and also dresses like a vagrant.

    Quite right. The Empress has no clothes.
