You would be yourself given the occasion, she looks very emotional - Hopefully that won't be a negative for her performance

In fairness the way 26 counties are fired up watching this, we could take back the occupied 6 tonight.

Just a pity the lads in 6 are geo blocked

Is that f**king Henry Pollock in the crowd? He's part of the matchroom stable.

An Olé Olé Olé crowd I see.

A gulf in class was flagged from the moment the fight was announced but this is embarrassing. Pili has absolutely no business being in there with a fighter of KT's level or experienced, even if she's somewhat diminished from her peak.

Terrible isn't it, people enjoying themselves. They should stay silent like at the snooker.

Was it supposed to be competitive? I thought this was the equivalent of a testimonial.

Yes unbeaten fighter is her opponent although Katie appears a big step up.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

No, see the bit where I said the gulf in class was flagged from the beginning but even allowing for it Pili has nothing to offer.

People in this country will watch any oul shite if there is a bandwagon hitched to it.

Do the two over excitable RTE commentators know what they are talking about? Is Taylor winning as comprehensively as they make out?

There are worse bandwagons to hitch oneself to.

This has always been about the send-off rather than the fight.

Yes. She might have lost the 7th but that's it. She's lightyears ahead.

Captain Obvious

A comfortable win Croke Park, happy retirement to Katie.

The arse has been ripped out of that song the past few years.
