She boxes plenty better than most men!

In fairness she boxes better than a man she is an all rounder good footwork very intelligent boxer.

You’d last a nano second in the ring with Katie, my kids dad trained in the same club as Katie a few yrs back she would have been 17/18 at the time even back then he wouldn’t even get in the ring with her because she would have tore him apart

Spot on G. It’s getting embarrassing at this stage! I mean who’s even heard of any other female boxer? Nothing against the girl, but let’s keep things in perspective!

And here’s me thinking Cavemen were extinct

Katie taylor is a great Athlete, wouldn’t it be great to see her medal in a sport that someone outside Ireland actually cares about or thinks of as a proper sport? This would require facilities and a plan.

Our government, Instead, wrote to the Olympic council and asked for Hurling and Gaelic Football to be included so we could win a gold medal and the Irish people wouldn’t notice how backward we are in sport. The Olympic council replied that they couldn’t include such minority sports but did note we have one of the few women boxers in the world and thought that if they included women’s boxing for London, we would be gauranteed at least a Bronze. Would that do instead they asked?
The government jumped at the offer, thinking the people of Ireland would be easily hoodwinked into thinking that this was proper Olympic success.

I hope Katie wins tonight and the best of luck to her, she is a great girl. But let’s not get carried away here. There was a time we used to be able to compete in mainsteam sports like Athletics, where millions (not dozens) participate. Celebrating a win in the most minority sport in the world as though it was the blue riband event of the Olympics will never get us back up that Medal table!
