Olympic boxing

[Declan]

The fighters were level on score cards. One went 39-37 to Taylor, one 39-37 to Potkonen and one 38-38. The judges then award to Potkonen.

[From the Bunker]

The old scoring system of points suited our boxers. The Professional system does not?

Pure fix. She won that more than she won her gold medal fight.

Serious questions for the Irish Olympic management to answer too

Katie Taylor is finished.  Never saw someones career fall apart as quickly at amateur level.

Turns out we aren't that great at boxing then. People talking about possible 8 medals from the boxers this Olympics. Disaster.

There are a few runours going around, well one in particular that I heard a couple of times but I dunno how true it is.

It's like some big change happened our HPU, if only we knew what it was

Enough speculation around without people adding to it here

Funding is up from 2012.

Can't be that.

Floored. Rio has been a total farce for our only unit that was anything close to competitive on the world stage.

Very tough watch. She's a great girl, and a credit to our country. Fair play to her for what she has done. Its obvious that this has not been going well for a good few months now, but she has been a constant bright light for Ireland for years.

What age is she now?
Is Tokyo beyond her?
Great champion and one of Ireland's greatest ever sports people.
