Oh dear…
You’ve probably heard at this stage that Katie Taylor lost out in her last 8 bout with Finnish fighter Mira Potkonen at the Rio Olympics.
She was desperately disappointed but still managed to give a hugely dignified interview following the clash.
It was not the kind of performance we’ve come to expect from Katie Taylor over the years and fans were left disappointed when she came out the wrong side of the split decision.
Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport Shane Ross is over in Rio at the moment for a meeting with Olympics Council of Ireland president Pat Hickey, and he was one of the fans at the fight.
But he must be experiencing a dodgy internet connection while he’s over there, because he Tweeted his support for Katie Taylor at 8:40pm this evening… more than five hours after the fight.
Here in Rio . Honoured to be cheering as Katie enters ring . Go Katie !
