Ireland's Katie Taylor wins Olympic gold | London 2012 Olympics

Boxing Women's Light (60kg) Final Bout - Katie Taylor (Ireland) vs Sofya Ochigava (Russia). Full replay from the ExCeL - South Arena 2 at the London 2012 Olympic Games, 9 August 2012.
Boxing made its Olympic debut at the 1904 Games in St Louis, since then boxing has been staged at each edition of the Games, except in 1912 in Stockholm, owing to Swedish law, which forbade the practice.
The rules have evolved since the 1980s: 1984 in Los Angeles: protective helmet obligatory; 1992 in Barcelona: set-up of an electronic scoring system to strengthen the objectivity of refereeing; 2007: standardised point scoring. Women's boxing made its debut at the 2012 London Games in London.

she worked so hard for this moment.. thousands of hours in the gym training and sparring.. she deserved the gold.. a true champion
I remember I was 14 when I saw this fight ( now 23). Katie was an up and coming boxer. I watched it with my dad and mam. My dad is a tough person and I've only ever seen him cry when he buried his dad. He cried floods when she won and the flag raised for Ireland. It just goes to show how much it means to a small island with so much pride.
My dad was the same. Best moment ever
True
God do the Irish support the Irish
Ireland has a rich and proud history and culture, but they rarely have global superstars. So when they do, the country goes all in on supporting them.
@John Adams our rugby team too
@John Adams rory is a brit
Scott Hamilton Israel adesanya isn’t that well known and mcgregor is the most popular fighter probably of all time but behind Mohammed Ali
Scott Hamilton he’s definitely better known then manny and him and Floyd is even but mcgregor does have more google searches and Instagram followers and twitter followers
That crowd, WOW! The one moment everyone in the crowd was supporting Ireland in the Olympics regardless of it being in Britain.
most of them were Irish
What a noise the Irish literally took over the stadium . My favourite Olympic moment spine tingling
Favourite ever Olympic moment . What a noise . What a crowd . The Irish ❤️❤️
Respectful too. They didn’t boo the other girl

No one: Not a single soul: Irish people attending anything: OLE OLE OLE OLE OLE

#ImProudToBeIrish
I supported Katie from Bangladesh
Katie is inspirational and a fine example to the young boxers from the Emerald Isle
An incredible athlete amazing skills
My family erupted in my house when this happened. My mother cried & we were all over the moon.
I met Katie Taylor once in 2014 she is the freshest looking human I have ever seen her skin was like velvet her hair was gloss and her eye's sparkled all women should take up boxing
Lots of respect to that great Russia fighter for taking Defeat like a champ 👍👍👍
Go on Katie !!!
Amazing crowd
hats off
love you Katie taler
Not how u spell taylor
I have sparred in that exact ring when I was invited by England boxing to go to their main gym where all the England boxers train it was such a proud moment for me I will continue to box and hopefully one day I will win that Olympic gold medal 🥊
Best of Luck.. May God give you the glory...
Top class boxer
The speed is incredible
I searched this up because of an Irish Comedian.. But the SCREAMS in the background are insane...
katie taylor just wow
that link is for NBC, I REFUSE.
Best Irish boxer EVER.
No best female boxer ever
@@sarahmartin2587 Well female boxing is new and at a low level.
The occasion and result FABULOUS, the fight itself, more dancing than boxing, not a great advert for women’s boxing, but fast forward Katie Taylor is a true champion, and technician in the art of boxing.
We'll you were definitely not a boxer and haven't got a clue so shut your mouth and don't speak of things you know nothing about.
Ian kings.., long time since your post but I’ve only just saw this “fight” for the first time and couldn’t agree more with your comments, it was just like watching two string puppets and I personally had the Russian girl edging an awful contest but no way was she going to get a decision with all the support Katie had. The difference in the fighter Taylor became is night and day to this showing.
A good moment.
Quién viendo esta pelea después de las dos grandes batallas de Katie este 2022?
Better than the Hug of the Century
The Russian boxer was so gracious.
A great day
The queen of the ring.
Proud to be an irish American
*American
He can be an American nationally but Irish ethnically. Considering our nation severely oppressed the Irish immigrants simply for being Irish, the ethnicity has significance.
10 years ago wow
Katie Taylor won this fight the day I was born
I feel bad for my dad because he couldn't watch the fight because he was up all night since I was born at like 4am so he was asleep for the rest of the day
I lost a job because I quit to watch this fight .... ill never regret it
Katie muhteşemsin😊
I'd like to also point out that she managed to finding school with mostly A's in all honours the same year.
fayeisainmdom she’s 32 stop chatting shite
You’re a sausage
And played soccer for Ireland.
What? No she did her leaving cert / high school final exams in 2005
my dad was in the crowd
Crowd so loud can't hear the commentator 😂
Team Taylor
Can't even hear the commentators
U can’t even hear the commentators ahah
First time I’ve seen this, feel sorry for the Russian girl, she was stitched up like a kipper, no way did she lose that “fight “
💪👊🥇🏆🥊
i told my optometrist about you
Weve actually been voted best fans/supporters in the world numerous times.Silly American :)
콘란 생각나네
I’m Irish🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Suss haha
Irish best
Let's not forget out Great state controlled TV station RTE never gave Katie Taylor the help and support she deserved didn't show 99% of her fights . To busy paying muppets like Joe Duffy 250k a year for a 1 hour 15min radio show..
Isi!😢😢😭😭😭😭😲😲😲😎😃😎😎😎😎
Sofia... Russia 🥊
Taoajamamaka💑😂😂
We're all part of jackies army we're all off to Italy ...only paddies get this
She's like a female Little Mac, if you know what I mean
Lol
Not the mens
bwhahahaha!!
FUNOMINAL
I love the irish and I love mma and ufc and that but sorry to all the fans of boxing, this just looks so boring to watch. 30 seconds of jumping around then 1 swing, hug a little then repeat. I want to see a knockout, I want to see continuous punching. I don’t want to see nothing then hugging.
Omg, olympic boxing is a joke 😂
only Indian crowd beat ireas crowd
ankit bhai where is Ireas?
you have us slightly outnumbered ;)
Russia was better in My opinion :/
But you're not an Olympic judge so your opinion does not matter
i think the russian girl deserved the win
mehdi karpov nah bro katie is the best of the best
@@abbeywhite9624 yes she is great i am big fan of her but she lost this fight
mehdi karpov katie?
@@abbeywhite9624 yes
@@m3hdim3hdi nah . Katie landed the cleanest punches and had superior footwork,wasn't all her tho. .good scrap
Sorry, guys but the Russian girl was better at this time. That was not a fair decision.
Wrong
Don't feed the bot
Jealous? Katie is the best of the best
Top class boxer
