      We don't have a new years honours list, nor do we give out titles.

      But one thing is for sure, Katie Taylor will never have to pay for a drink again in her life! :D

      There won't be a cow milked in the country in the morning!!

      I'm guessin only a select few will get that joke! That outburst of celebration after the fight from Katie was class too as we hadn't seen her celebrate after any of the other Olympic bouts. Hero :)

      Unlucky Paddy Barnes.  Lost his semi to Zou Shiming of China on countback.

      Bronze medal for Ireland!

      The 3rd round was brilliant, very unlucky. 45-44 on count-back.

      now it's Nevin's turn!

      Anthony Ogogo up next for GB.  Good luck Anthony!

      Falcao of Brazil wins after a strong second and third round.  Ogogo's legs had gone after taking 2 counts in the final round.

      Bronze for Ogogo!
