Katie is a cert here, she is 1/10 on on Betfair.

Even less than that now. It'll be a MAJOR upset if she doesn't win.

I agree. Jimmy take the catchphrase approach of "say what you see."

Aye, a good few of us lumping on Katie on this one over on the Gambling forum.

Bet of the week has to be the fight to go the distance @ 1/8 though

Plenty of cheering anyway. Thought the "ole ole" chant in the third round was a bit of a dick move myself.

Brilliant Nicola. Great fight. Tough lady for a little 'un and first ever wimmins gold medal

There are other bouts taking place. Compare RTE's coverage of Nicola Adams with the Beeb's coverage of Katie. Embarrassing, to be honest.

Bedlam arena.......the ****e has started to flow

No need for the booing of the Russian girl.

Colmustard

Not looking good. The Russian has studied her tactic well.

Crappy overdone coverage by RTE that missed the British fighter winning the first ever gold medal in Women's boxing.

Give it up, I think you're on your own here.

JONJO THE MISER

2-2

The pace is slow motion after the Adams fight (who was like Ali on steroids)

It was embarrassing, to be honest. Treat others like you'd want to be treated. The Beeb are practically creaming themselves over Katie, whereas RTE couldn't be bothered giving Nicola Adams much credit (after beating the world number 1). And to think people on here were accusing the Beeb of being jingoistic.

Teyla Emmagan

I feel sick.

HazDanz

Russian won that round I say.

mike65

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (Russian leads)

Dr.Broccoli

Nerves are shot.

JONJO THE MISER

Russian ahead by a point:mad:
