This one deserves a thread of its own lads as we have five lads and one talented lady lining out for us, great piece in the indo on nevin and oneill on sunday , anyone read it?
 
I saw on the rte news that they are targeting six medals , fair play they are ambitious , does anyone know the draw for the opening bouts ?

I don't think any of the boxers are ranked which will make the possibility of medaling even more difficult.

Paddy Barnes and Katie Taylor should both medal - hopefully gold.

If they can match the 3 they got last time it will be a good return.Katie for Gold . I think Nevin is our best chance of a medal after Katie. With a good draw any of the lads are capable of getting a medal but the draw makes a huge difference.All are more than capable fighters but the rankings will make it likely for a tough draws early on.

Since Taylor is ranked she is 1 fight away from a medal.

The same should apply to Barnes. Not entirely sure but the Irish boxers were unable to compete in some of the ranking events therefore ended up being unseeded.

Unless a disaster then Katie should get a medal. But lets prey for Gold. The lads have a bit of a harder time.
Really the boxers are our only big hope for a medal

Best of luck to them all.

When does the boxing start?
Lois: Peter, what did you promise me?
Peter: That I wouldn't drink at the stag party.
Lois: And what did you do?
Peter: Drank at the stag pa-- ... Whoa. I almost walked into that one.

Mrs FW's daughters are cousins of Michael Conlan so their Da is going over to support the lad, the bouts haven't been given times yet as far as I know (up to last weekend anyhow) but he is I believe fighting on 30th alright (as per the schedule).

Oh yeah you're right it just gives times for what time each round of competition starts, not the individual bouts.
 
Don't think the draw is made until Friday so they'll probably put the times of the individual bouts up then.

I've been talking to some boxing coaches.

All 5 men are in with decent chances of medals. The draws will be crucial. In the last Olympics, all of our boxers lost to finalists.

The expectations on KT are huge. Hope she doesn't get nobbled or lets the occasion get to her.

all our fighters have a genuine chance of winning a medal but  the draws are crucial .With a bit of luck we will have plenty of them going into medal fights.
