He's in training. It's an Olympic Event in Rio 2016

westendgirlie

will he get it?

Itssoeasy

it could be close.

markie29

Nolan tired badly in the last round...think he just won but its very close.

Sheeps

he got bashed

cgpg5

Should have it. Just

tayto lover

Nolan is not a great boxer. Ran out of steam very early and lucky to survive. Won't go too far in the Olympics in my humble opinion. Had a height and reach advantage but was hanging on and wide open in the end.

markie29

14-8 i thought it would be closer than that!...delighted he won

baldbear

Jaysus i thought it would of been tighter.

westendgirlie

Well done Nolan

Sparks43

No way did Nolan take the last round:eek:


Glad i was wrong though:D

cgpg5

Dubious enough scoreline. Well done but he won't trouble many like that

Colmustard

A win is a win, I hope he gets some more, but..........

Shryke

Poor last round. How did he take it? A good first 2. Got fairly run down quickly though.
Well done though.

My name is URL

The Irish boxing team really shows what the Olympics are all about. Gypsies and Gardai competing together under the one banner. It's great.

Daniel O Donnel

I think Bill assumed Chloe was a catholic when he came out with that guff.
Great to see a protestant representing her country.

Jesus Shaves

Commentator:Nolan is making the Irish wait for it.
They'll enjoy that pint even more so tonight.

And I will

Samich

I thought Nolan was gonna lose the fight with the last round. Didn't even lose the round!

AT 11-6 he was comfortable. But really made bloody hard work of it. Stamina an issue

She's cute too.

Colmustard

I am just thinking, the Olympics are on 2 days and I can't leave the couch. So we have the greatest festival of sport the planet has to offer and I will probably put on a stone because of it.

I am looking at the Olympic flame on the beeB coverage it really is the business.

Carl Lewis hasn't aged at all

keith16

I'm watching the volley ball at the moment. Brazil really are giving Tunisia a lesson on how to properly volley a ball.

Is the ceiling leaking? What is he doing wearing a cap?

It's almost like a catholic representing Iran :pac:

keith16

"Volleying a ball can be a lot like peeling an orange" the Brazilian skipper is heard shouting over to his Tunisian counter part. "Just volley the damn ball" comes the reply.

He can wear what he wants. He is the MAN

Why would he say that?

Can't believe how entertaining it has all been so far! I can't even remember the last Olympics - dont think I watched most if it. But this time, with a real medal hope in Katie Taylor and with the Olympics taking place just across the water it makes it more exciting I think. Plus, I think we all need a bit of a lift right now and something to take our minds off "everything". Even enjoyed watching the badminton with Chloe earlier - a game which I had never once seen played on tv before today! And all the swimming was just top class - so exciting :-)

Carl Lewis is wearing an ear-ring when did that happen, he is so 80s with the watch and cap and stuff.

Let's just hope she doesn't end up on drugs like previous gold medal winners, maybe her swimming cap might be on drugs seeing as theres no horse

Samich

There are suspicions about the chinese swimmer and the male swimmer Sun.

The 16 y/o girl swam her last 50m faster than Ryan Lochte

Yesterday, I think I got mixed up with the Peoples Republic of Korea and the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea. South Korea is the Democratic one, isn't it

Nope, Democratic republic is the North.

****
A good rule of thumb is that any country with the word 'Democratic' in its title is an authoritorian regime or military state fcuked up beyond all hope.

Yep if you feel the need to put 'Democratic' in the title it's usually a bad sign.
Those old enough may remember East Germany, the 'German Democratic Republic' -always confused me in school that one.
