    Katie is an Irish legend, and can be proud of everything she has done

    last night she was well beaten imo, from round one looked jaded.
    id fear for her in a rematch. I think this loss was coming, and it’s a pity that it was her homecoming

    She should be very proud of her professional record regardless of last night. Never hid from a challenge and has done it the hard way. No less an Irish sporting great in my eyes.

    I didn't get to see the fight but everything I've read about it suggests it was nowhere near as close as the judges scored it. One even had it as a draw so it sounds like she got very favourable judging. Presumably any rematch will be outside of Ireland so she won't have that help next time.

    It feels to me like the right time for Katie to walk away, let things settle for a few weeks and make a calculated decision.

    Think the scoring was pretty fair.
    Katie won at least 3 or 4 closer rounds whereas the rounds the other one won were probably more clear cut but that's the system.
    I think they should have 3 minute rounds like men, action only getting going and it's the bell.
    Could have a few less rounds if needed

    I am not boxing expert can’t see how any judge could have scored the fight a draw

    The winner of one of the headline events used his post fight interview to call out a WWF wrestler. Basically it's "write me a script where I beat that guy in a choreographed wrestling match"

    Just as well KSI didn't win, he might have called out Supergran

    Just on that tool, he's been in WWE as a top level wrestler for the last 2 years. So that was probably the only part of that that whole "fight" that made any sense.

    What is the deal with this Fury fight. Stuck it in on there on fire stick and the build up is so tedious. The amount of celebs at it is unreal, I’d say they have all got paid by Saudi to come. The undertaker is there FFS.

    Katie was unbelievable tonight - what a performance - heroic - just brilliant.

    An inspiration to all of us.

    How one of the judges saw it as a draw, I will never know!!
