what exactly did you expect when you tuned in? Something along the lines of 'It's a Knockout'?!

johne30

simply sick of all this boxing nonsense , its an awful sport and won't be in the olympics in a few more games time. . she (kate taylor) will probably lose as usual for irish competitors. she competes for 24 mins in total 8 min fights by 3 . the sailors and rowers are way better sports people . feel sorry for analise. Taylor has a good p r machine behind her though

Would love to see you box for 8 mins!

No doubt you'll be sitting at home watching with your Russian flag on. Wish people like you would just leave our country, do my head in!

Oh do you know what I usually try not to rise to troll types or to lower myself but Fu ck off with your stirring, try have a bit of pride in our group of boxers who are excelling. It is giving the majority of this island a lift, its great to have something to cheer about and be happy about rather than austerity, corrupt bankers/politicians, cuts to medical services etc. Just feck right off. :mad:

And a host of world titles as well. If you don't like boxing don't watch it. That what normal people do if they are watching something that they don't like, they change the channel.

I see we have another entry for the Trollympics. You are going to have to try harder, you are currently in 4th position at best

Pudsy33

Heading into a two hour long physics exam at 3 30, and I hope I do finish up as the country is celebrating a great victory. Gutted to miss it.

Something weird just happened - South Africa are back in the 400 relay after an appeal, as they didn't finish the race how does that work?

i have done boxing and lots of other sports , and boxing is not a serious sport , we never win medals at serious sports, thats why other countrys leave the boxing to us and a few old former soviet states and they get on wit real sport. so don't be codding yourself ok.

Not a serious sport?

What constitutes a real sport? Yes, it's pretty much the only thing we are good at currently. That doesn't make it less of a sport. Cop on would you?

titan18

The camera work in this race is awful. Stay on the leaders ffs

Richard Hillman

That was a nice Slice n Dice in the basketball

Kirby

Anyone notice the camera work on the BBC for the last few hours? Every time they cut back to the presenter they have this wide angle so they can show off your woman's legs. Now, she is lovely looking and all but they never do that with Claire Balding.

you obviously never made it past 2 minutes of you think its nonsense.

last time i checked in sailing the wind does most of the work and I'd like to see the rowers rowing as they are having the wind knocked out of em.
