Yes Christ that was a shock :(
I think boxing is going to go downhill here since Billy Walsh took up the US job
He's a massive loss the to Irish squad as he was head of development. Not so much to Katie as she has her own training scheduals and routines, and she effectively a freak of nature. I think I read her dad is no longer in her corner for personal reasons, this may have being a factor. It might be a tall ask for her to retain her Olympic gold.
I hope I'm wrong.
Yes she looks like she is past her best. She has been a great ambassador and a talented boxer. However, not sure she will win in Rio if she gets there. Indeed, there are many including myself who believe she was more than a shade lucky to win the gold medal bout in London.
The opponent who beat Taylor (Russian born, previously represented Ukraine, now fights for Azerbaijan)is experienced, no pushover, has a longer reach and a strong punch. They have fought before and one fight was decided on points-going to Taylor but with not a hair's breadth between them. Taylor moves on to the World Championship in a month. If she reaches the semifinals, she should go to Rio.
The Father not being in her corner may not have helped either.
