Hey guys I think this story needs an update to include the tweet by the coolest guy in Hollywood, none other than Samuel L Jackson who says on Twitter-

All of IRELAND raise a pint for Katie Taylor’s gold medal Russian beatdown !

You go Sam ! Marcellus Wallace would be proud too=)

Oscar De Le Hoya and Lennox Lewis both congratulated on her twitter too. Worth a mention I reckon as they are both legends of the sport.

She couldn’t believe she lost. Think the 4th round was awful scoring but fair play to her

  Bad manners for the presentation though – very obvious

  Agreed great to win gold, and great for Katie.
  
  I can see the Russians point of view however, the 4th round looked like a big win for her, can’t understand how it was scored a draw. Hopefully she won’t appeal and will just take the decision.

  German girls are interesting due to what’s transpired in the past they share a value of independent informed (telling of tales ) that is concurrent in other parts of the world where the follow-ups can have repercussions especially in a work area.

Just waiting to see all our useless politicians trying to get a photo opportunity with the “Golden Girl” herself, where were they when she needed a toilet and shower in her gym, or are they only allowed in golf clubs?

Nice to see that Steve Redgrave, Nick Clegg & Kate Middleton also turned up to support Katie. Steve Redgrave was practically biting his nails.

  Probably because you missed it, how very dare you!! But we did too, fish and chips in Killarney distracted us :D but we heard the roar when she won so we figured it out. Try rte player if you have UPC or perhaps YouTube in the morning might have it? I’m sure even the BBC player thing might have something. They should be all updated by morning. There are always people who upload things when the beers the night before wear off. And jaysus sure the beer will be plenty tonight I reckon.

  Sorry Vlad, the results in both the World Championship and now the Olympic’s say the Russian got her ass kicked by Katie, the Champion. Both times. Deal with it.
