Jimmy Magee is some craic.

"I asked Lennox Lewis for a comment on Katie Taylor and he summed her up in one sentence: she boxes like a man".

Katie Taylor is in sat nav. (did he mean cruise control?)

"This young lady from Bray, woman from Bray, or is it lady from Bray, I'm not sure?"

Way to miss quote him anyway.

He said the young girl from bray, The young lady from bray, the young woman from bray, I think that covers it all.

Not all women are ladies. Ive never seen a lady playing ladies football but yet then dont call it gentlemens football.

what he meant about the satnav is that all her punches were landing on target.

And Lennox Lewis meant she had the strength and speed of a man in her punches.

I reckon she's the fittest boxer pound for pound in the Olympics. See how she's on her tippy toes the whole time. If you've never done that it's unbelievably draining.

Lyster is having a great time

Dempsey

Very embarrassing stuff from RTE

Shameful Paddywhackery.

Everything they do reflects an inferiority complex.

It's like "look how great we're doing despite the fact that we're gombeen men".

Instead it should be "we are a great nation among equals...well done Katie Taylor".

She was losing by a fair bit on points. Standign toe to toe wont work so maybe giving a go and seeing would Taylor drop her gaurd a bit and trying for a haymaker was worth a shot.

Saying the same nonsense over and over just makes you a bigger fool, not more correct.

Ah christ, BBC are going mad and going on about how great when they win something. Leave em off and fecking enjoy the bit of success we're having in boxing since its the only thing we'll get medals at.

4.45 tomorrow

Shryke

Garv, repeatedly saying she boxes like a man through the match with no context is poor commentating, which is what we got.
There's nothing to defend it was just poor.

Woo Katie! What time is the Russian fighting?

Last time i checked we didnt have the same population as America or China. Sounds like you're the one projecting the inferiority complex

It's possible he has her voice on his sat nav alright.

Couldn't blame her really, to be honest. She knew she was behind, so she tried to goad Taylor onto her (hopefully with no defence). A bit obvious, and Taylor knew better.

On now,well its probably over dunno if RTE will show it

titan18

You think RTE would actually show the other fight live rather than discussing the opponent she might face

Now, 4 points up going into final round!

castletownman

What an atmosphere in the boxing arena. What an inspirational hero we have in Katie. Fair play girl, the whole country loves you at this stage. Good to hear hordes of Irish supporters singing Fields of Athenry in a positive sporting occasion. Bring home the gold now

Guy:Incognito

Commentators not happy witht the scoring in the other semi. Maybe its not hometown judgign afterall and just bad judgeing?

RTE not showing it I see. Surely the fight to see who Taylor will face in the final is of interest?

Hammer Archer

Jaysus the Brazilian should be closer to Ochigava, if not level.

F..king Paddywhackery on RTE!

Jimmy Magee talking sh1te and patronising Katie Taylor..."isn't she great? She trains so hard." Doesn't everyone?

Bandwagon merchants all over the arena and in every business in Ireland.

F..king gombeenery.

F..king Paddywhackery.

Ole Ole. Fields of Athenry. Bullsh1t.

See her old man showboating too? Shouldn't she have a real professional coach at this level? Touch of the Tiger Woods and Andy Murray pushy parent stuff.

She's brilliant and a credit to Ireland. That should be enough. Park the gombeenery.

Well done Katie - You're a class act.

We let ourselves down with the Paddywhackery. Michael Lester applauding. RTE are a disgrace.

They'll show it now, it was on literally 5 minutes after Katies fight

Blisterman

Can anyone explain how the showjumping final is scored?

titan18

Brazilian name - Araujo, Lyster pronunciation - Ajagugu

garv123

Ochigava took it handy

Patser

Fanatastic for Katie but with her big match tomorrow now, shouldn't the focus be switching to Cian O'Connor chasing a medal very, very soon

FatherTed

Ochigava won 17-11

Ahem, I said that on this thread a while ago, but was told in a round about way that I don't understand how Olympic is scored. But yet when professional commentators say it, oh yeah, lets agree with them.

RTE are showing the other fight now.

I preferred watching Katie being interviewed before watching the other semi. It's not really a big deal that RTE are only showing it now

BBC interviewed her after she got out of the ring.

Jesus, these trainers need to learn how to tie laces, that two fights in a row. Whats wrong with a nice bit of velcro.

Theres talking to be done.

Colmustard

I am normally a fan of RTE sport, I think normally that, their current affair and news is worth the licence fee. But the Olympic coverage is woeful.

They have to pay for the live feeds so I suspect they may have blown their sport budget on the Euro Cup.

I should really complain as I am only watching the games on the BeeB.
