I watched Paddy's fights.  He's good!!!  I think he'll make the final!  ... (although the Olympic scoring system seems very flawed?)

Incidentally, Zimbabwe have 3 silvers and a Gold now. And our sprinter made the final of the 200m last night.

[Ursus]

Yes 4 2 min rounds WTF I think it is going back to 3x3mins

No body shots either

Is an aggressive fighter with a good jab. Looks like he really wants it

Its incredible when smaller nations do well. Really good to see.

If you are from Belfast should you not be more concerned with the performance of your home team?

[Ursus]

Belfast is in Ireland.

Born in Ireland..therefore Irish

[Stu]

Belfast is in Ireland.

Born in Ireland..therefore Irish

Belfast is in Northern Ireland hence your support should be towards the "Great Britain And Northern Ireland" team, not "Eire".

[Ursus]

I have the option of Dual nationality

Mother, Father, Grandparents, great-grand parents etc all Irish

Do you feel any allegiance to the Queen?

[Purple Aki]

Boxer from Belfast representing Ireland rather than Britain?

What's this all about then? Surely the boxer should be with us, weeping as they raise the Union Jack and hearing God Save The Queen?

[SweetMuscles]

Belfast is NOT in Ireland, it is in Northern Ireland. Two totally separate and very distinct countries.

He should be with the UK team, after all they let blacks in nowadays.

LOL. Your parties. I can only imagine.

LOL. Your parties. I can only imagine. 

You have no idea!

I'm one of the "calm" ones.

We all have short tempers and like to drink, this leads to madness 100% of the time.

Family reunions have been ceased...lol

[bodybuilder1234]

david price should do well

She is the Queen. I would not disrespect here because I am not English in the same way just because I am not Buddist does not mean i will disrespect the daili Lama.

Your silliest post ever. Ireland is an Island. And Belfast is a city in Ireland. That is like saying that Berlin is not in Europe because it is Germany.

Boxing is massive in Ireland. I know lots of boxers, lots of respect for them

I think it is funny when people 1000s of miles away try to tell me what country is what. It is like me commenting on North African borders etc

[SweetMuscles]

Don't be so fucking dumb you twat.

Ireland and Northern Ireland  are two different countries on the same island of land.

It's the same with Scotland and England. Belfast is a city in NORTHERN IRELAND just like Glasgow is a city in Scotland, not England. Ireland and the word Island may sound the same but they are different things.

God, you are one thick Northern Irish Brit.

When I lived in England, the jokes were all about the Irish - in the same way that we, Canadians, reference the Newfs.  I can remember only one. Why did the Irish team abandon their Everest quest? Answer: they ran out of scaffolding. 

[SweetMuscles]

He is not Irish Chimps. He is Northern Irish. He is a Brit and part of the British Isles. Northern Island is a totally different country and Goudy lives in it's capital city, Belfast.

Goudy is British, not Irish.

[Stu]

Goudy is British, not Irish.

The Republic Of Ireland is also part of The British Isles.

[Ursus]

There is NO country in the world called Ireland.

There is however a country called The Republic of Ireland.

Therefore I am correct saying Belfast is an city in Ireland.

Who ever mentioned England??? Arguing with yourself

Northern Ireland is NOT a county either. FACT

I can asssure you all this

[dr.chimps]

Goudy is British, not Irish.

Ouch. A lot of Irish have died trying to belie that statement. 

[Ursus]

Out of people debating here i wonder how many are actually from Ireland.
