@Ciara Campbell No, she goes into the semis now and is favourite for the gold.
Mick Dowling crying too. Great stuff. I'm actually thinking of Annalise Murphy now though. She will be forgotten about now because of Katie today. Don't forget Annalise but obviously, Katie is a diamond. A treasure. A phenomenally gifted individual.
@Ciara Yeah, that's a bronze cemented. Semi-final now and if she wins that, she'll have a silver guaranteed. And if she wins that, it's the big one!
Truly humbled to read the messages from all of you in the four corners of the world.
How unlucky was Jonas to draw Katie. That's as good a tear-up as I've seen at amateur level.
@Lorraine K Her next fight is Wednesday.
@Lorraine K @Peter Towe Probably against Cheng Dong, who is very tough. But none of them are as tough, skilful or quick as Katie. Michael Carruth is now welling up.
@Martin In Farmington CT USA... They might be showing it on the RTE website now...
I'm very disappointed by Cheng Dong here. Very tall but very negative. Katie will take either of these two potential opponents. At the moment, it looks likely to be the girl from Tajikistan.
@shergar Ha! Yeah Katie could have knocked it out from London alright.
It's not looking good for Cian O'Connor now. Currently sits in joint 17th with 35 to progress but there are 27 still to go
Chinese girl losing 8-6 after 3 rounds.
Chorieva Movzena of Tajikistan wins 13-8 for the pleasure of meeting Katie Taylor in the semi-final on Wednesday afternoon.

Oh Thank God.!!!!!! Well done Katie !!!!! Im so happy that she now has the shot at the medals. She has been by far the best womens boxer in the past 4-5 years. You never know with judges, especially when she was fighting an English girl. my biggest fear was that she would be diddled out of a decision by the judges.
Well done Katie
