  1. Such a composed fight. Her opponent was out on her feet and Kellie looked like she could’ve went another few rounds.

  2. Not sure what that one ref was doing giving the first to rounds to the Brazilian.
    But that was definitely a much closer fight than the previous ones and a well deserved victory at the end!

  3. At this rate, we could finish the Olympics in the top 15 of the medal table. For a country our size, where so few resources are devoted to minority sports, that’s a phenomenal achievement.

    Great tactical boxer. And seems like a lovely woman too! one of the best olympians we have ever produced. What an Olympics this is fairing out to be!

    Well done Kellie. A good night for Irish boxing with McKenna doing well too and I’ll not leave Coyle out either. Fair play to all.

    She was unbelievable. That second round was very tense. Beatriz was exhausted by the final round. Watching it with my 11 year old son and he was in absolute.awe of Kellie.

  7. Great result for her tonight, I supposed it helped when she imagined her opponent was a Brazilian immigrant. 🥊 💥

    Brilliant! She was powerful and composed throughout. Another gold on its way surely ☘️🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪

    What a weekend for Irish sport and if Daniel Wiffen has his way it’s not over yet!
