Yes, It was very clear and Taipei is world champion

was there any reason why the GB fighter couldnt kick above the mid level??? every high kick he tried ended with him falling. he did not look very good at all. no wonde he lost.

OH AND F*** NBC and all these damn commercials every 5 minutes during the middle of the rounds. I am sick and tired of seeing the same damn commercials during the fights

All three golds for us yesterday were won by the girls! Probably the most notable was Nicola Adams winning the first gold ever for boxing ( not just for us the first medal evre for any female boxer), another step forward for the girls. More positive role models for girls.

Well done Jade :sensei rei:. A Welsh lass named Jones, who'd've thought it? ROFL.

A determined fighter, a TKD Olympic gold medalist and beautiful too . Someone was near the front of the line when positive traits were being handed out :lol:.

Llongyfarchiadau, miss Jones.

I know this is a TKD thread and I don't want to derail it but here is a link to the BBC broadcast of Nicola Adams at work:

The delight of it was not only her skill and her sporting behaviour after her win but her sheer joy in the moment - fabulous!

I know this is a TKD thread and I don't want to derail it but

I'm also going to contribute to the non-derailing...

Clarissa Shields (17 yo) is also the first American woman to win Gold at Boxing. article here

I just watched the Jade Jones replay, and it was a great match.

lets go Paige....

how ironic would it be if the 2 NON-Lopezes medaled and the golden family didnt?

Crap day for GB today. Stevenson loses in the opening round, although this is her first competition in a long time, there's no way she could have been on form today. Mohammed loses in the quarter finals, he looked scrappy and nervous, nothing like what I witnessed at the euro's in may. Should have picked Cook!

Perhaps my Third Eye spied a glimpse of the future...

LETS GO PAIGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bronze medal Match
