Mikey hey lien on gay dog good sister crack playing complain here is the isolation treatment but learn new skills not boxing skills skills and baking skills so it's cute that way I'm bone still tree in the way so it's good you know I mean I I'm enjoying it I'm never for much soda back that I'm home with him that's it's really nice if we change the column heads all now what would you be talking about I wouldn't must be cookin like hot soup but it'd be big and like a big kicks any cake you want I've never baked amylase until is a solution and now realized that I have a job off the box never really needed my cooking show next year who knows we sort of want to just get the start so my two brothers they work in ascend to the gym and father to learn because we're broke small mesh so you know he won't be able to handle ourselves so he sent them Jim I just wanted to do with David do so I followed him the gym I was only 78 and we're in the Germans wanted to be just like I mean any young kid wanted to be like through a brother and that's why I can a stuck out I wonder did so much because David and then I realize rate of very soon or flick that I was good at my first year boxing properly know competing and and likto irons and stuff boy wanna I've won every week wins then Louie so it was like damn I was like I'm good so you know just kinda stop over there I'm I'm here now and I'll see and you wrapped around the limp and what was it like to go to the Olympics I'll see I'll see you know Island nearly pizza box and I've been known with a lot of medals man I'll see a pickled medal your Southport tell us your Olympic experience but so they're truly different Olympics like chalk and cheese you know that was the comparative London the real um no no special London was was one of the greatest experiences of miss important career even still only one bronze but I wasn't expected to win any medals when I went so the fact they came back with bronze was great i-i've thought I was gonna come back with gold because it was just a confident being there just being in the Olympic Village and no being around a place like no you're Serena Williams you're you're you know it symbols all these kind of guys and seeing them in the village because you did see them the old thing I'm seen Serena few times and she was they come to cover and all like wearing glasses and things Cham they can evade herself but you know even make the food holes mother like everything's free McDonald's is free for two weeks I couldn't eat it until like the second last day in Halawa know it so it was [ __ ] that way but no the whole experience of London was just humbly was real on the other hand everything about it was terrible the accommodation how the venue was the how the shoulder run even the trim the the warm-up area and the venue and always terrible compared to in London lake it was unbelievable you know I mean so I had to compare against each other and no coaches we probably have a better look at where they have probably been the loads of games and a map and then London was other times better than real the whole experience or Rio that the fact that what happened paid start with mega Raley you know that kind of put a damper on the whole team might incur of monastic I was so I was being selfish and everyone card with myself in that situation so it's not me so don't care and then obviously the result what happened and I did believe I was gonna become Olympic champion I was a hundred percent sure I was gonna become an Olympic champion well the world's coming down into it yeah ranked number one the draw I actually got me esteem Dominique a nasty lonely we were running around Olympic Village the day of the draw no just cutting some width and I said I missed the draw I want I wanna fade Armenian first the Russian and then know whoever Sammy's here very good that was the exact draw I cannot predict it I got there Armenian first and then I got I got Nicky no it was like relentless I wanted but obviously you know things happen for a reason and yeah well see things didn't go well the point that you did go your way but there's a little didn't go your way I think that's the way everyone sort of Cesar you sort of put that in the past and when you turn pro on defeated it was it was great snow it was just the fact you get back it was nothing personal with what's the key I know as much as I want that it was there wasn't a lot there was and kind of like did a little bit's but it wasn't blood me and myself have always been kind of nice each other being on the armature shorted together and then even as a pro boxing if you have my cards and see me on their cards um and I've always always says he always says Chloe's a lovely fella always they even want to put up pictures the kid is always a pom poms up and on I think you can't help but like him but you wanna maybe Freya wasn't good number so but the fact that you would ever hang up and then I'm old history of their games and candy but always being asked to me as a fashion absorb is you know in know when you're gonna get that one backs right this is it sooner rather than later because I don't believe blood never go on and be undefeated here from I think you know you see some mistake sir which ornament is it when it splits Asians they're like come on mom what's gonna also I just get it all night I don't care what the record says the histories are it's it's it's a word fast armatures faced each other I mean it's not even about coach are no comment from elite amateur background and that should be all the matters here and the history so they got it done that's great together back for there actually goes come on can we just bring it back just to Rio as well like straight after when you spoke on the cz like everyone in the whole entire countries will a hundred percent agree with you and you say explain to us what happened after and the explosion or people just your basic on borrow dad's it was crazy um so I didn't know I had a buffoon anyway tell about an hour after yeah so they gave me immediate like I remember walking around see it on the TV and the reason that you were indeed appear interest yeah and then you go to change room so I thought I'd on the TV and a walk around the paper at least and I was talking oh Sanjana didn't stop started classes now I'm gone I'm washed you know just like I was Buster Crabbe proper humans and stuff for coming amigo and you once they were watching on the TV and they got these backs not become over Cindy one they were not there and I was just destroyable never ever my god you know and then I started to think [ __ ] [ __ ] up know promoter nobody is gonna want to touch someone because I was thinking before the games I was thinking you know a woman gonna go late to Australia Tate Britain you know without golden boy clean em each everything about that there I'll go for that yeah obviously that was the complete opposite I had and if you hear me saying on on the TV si I don't go [ __ ] cursing on TV because the media kind of guy our army media guy nobody can own it kind of PR PPC controlled making the followed a king of normal athletes ripped after they lose no are listen I should have won but I'm good as mullahs here I'll come back and did you know I was about Webster's born off my heart for San I'm what what about what I did fee see I didn't even orbital the corruption until after I called the corruption because I have no one Abel's always like that and there's been sit-ins in the past but it's problem than me which can I made me want to react the way I reacted so anyway I go back this year it was after all the Karma I was sitting there having got me falling it and I went [ __ ] I [ __ ] up here nobody's gonna want to touch me with a ten-foot pole what I'm gonna do next minute left on the ground was a.cian everybody go Mandel the whole world Amanda phone calls from CNN asked me to come on and speak about Lake corruption and amateur boxing which I did I went to some they've got me some taxi there's a rooftop hotel or some rooftop room where I was accepting with the real backdrop behind is and I was talking with corruption and all because the coaches and stuff they've been called there because or get help so they were trying to get help they contact the parking or no reply people contacted everybody no replies or contacting people I'd say the Maccabiah is truly it was one of the things someone come back and say at this so they knew they could my family and all knew when they were going to Devaney leak Shauna says it was like the conditioner and you go on this competition he's come to show you and then after like the first row in the lake it is true you know what I mean so yeah it was so the rumors were there on the forums are they were all dirt they know neighbor told after I want my my Portofino booth nikitin was in the next faith and I was a Russian coach founder of his aides or Washington I was the amande of you and so and the Russian Corps says go get help so it was retold when your boys losing against this Kyle on fader go go in the Russian beat the Thailand would wind up getting the decision against the Palin guy which he shouldn't think up so it was like sick I think that was it it was so disappointing from point view so you're like right Katie's head or my common goal this year at the Olympus and then like it was more like I was he being robbed from you would actually put in all the work it's like a million times worse injustice that I felt it made it easier for me to take because it was the the key see people lose and people go all right that was paper he lost they didn't get this Asian it was close fate nothing lost what you think whereas this him everybody was what he [ __ ] one means more no because people losing to cry over or break and weren't probably really wasn't rape jokes enough together did a guy but no maybe we're wrong but it wasn't too bad where this one everybody was gone everybody was on my see one you've lost a Milanese here in the effective for Ireland and the country whereas know if it happened as a pro is one in Fiji I mean that's where it is really even though your rooms it says it's it's kind of you don't have the Irish flag on your back really because you're just a sole entity or not there whereas you away with team you're representing Ireland and that's uh that's a little bit easier to speak as well because it was a more of a team can I think when did you make him go pro do you know that prior to Olympics or I was gobs going after limp which was no way I was dance or Narellan becames the pro pro the pro stuff was already in the works sorry speaking the people more happy offers in table and then while it was still in real top bring out in contact number like we want to speak and I was like some so many mr. batas now actually the [ __ ] name is Lovelace has lost me but he contact me as they came from City area and I'm actually over with harboring for me more with top-ranked here and there looking the half talks for you know it says what really the only person I was speaking to the team was mop Magnum because we had a good friendship it was always kind of they've always complimented me and like bit build me up and on who tell people I was gonna be able to be chomping I was here so had a good release and I says Matt listen top ranked around me here do you wanna wanna speak to him on behalf would you want me to you nice is I've Dabney would cease all right let's pick him so he spoke to my stuff and can I get the ball moving and it came there and alike a few promoters an analytic top-ranked they can have Kidman obviously they came in top money but at the same time take him home with a best plan and best route and that was that was the call after when after that fight in reality and then you decide to go professionals like everyone was just going to see you back in the ring as well ever since you said do not we've been making sure we shadow every for you have like in the pillows all your foot so don't have you see anymore no I think yeah well here's a lot for that no that's no problem at all we do it we do for all the Irish athletes as well with the football the Ruby kit like everyone but the thing is you came out with on your debut or to an absolutely explodes and walking with Conor McGregor like how old alas come out I'll call out and like even the outfit how would you call the band as well surely have always like big King Arthur I love the other I love watching rough Israel so

me like this is where I want that's why Sarah this is okay well cardio longer and we can come down from the top places we're doing that then less they are so [ __ ] they often love money and what's never hang in the place for that you know that's what the orange people do Asher come right woody fog top Mendes I like the lower performance from Sinead O'Connor you know in like you know gotta

follow you follow us as well that they're like always poignant so like an old person we can't go on but I'll talk about it Katie Taylor and okay yeah like well first of all what a woman have you seen her documentary because something used Reina ha ha ha ha listen I keep up video but yeah I was obviously on TV Kitty for luthiers 44 years what an incredible woman what an inspiration I'm even to me um someone who you look at her achievements and the dedication and tame she is put into what she does she gets every she deserves and she's got it off a lot so someone who I think younger can look up to you and aspire to be unbelievable I always say she's the greatest or sport I mean the ball hunt regardless of gender toothpaste achievement alone I think she's the inspiration look at her G when being I've ever heard her say Bob Lord says like she's exeunt Lake of Hamas she is Drake I'll be honest is just an incredible human being oh she ever given you any like words of inspiration or as you giving it giving you something watch watch watch crickets gets inspiration know what when I watched a documentary to see you know the workshop puts in and how how hard her career actually is for no limits is so it is so you can see how much is pushing how much is that again the shelf living over in Connecticut which I'm sure would be is born as [ __ ] but no she's a third addict hitting a shot from taking that thing yeah it's an inspiration for a lot of people Laura I was like it's like all of our own backers horn represented some believer and Julie there mukhiya another person who said he was asking for your were speeding Ricci was at John Oh Carol honey well he said Katie Taylor used to absolute power him how'd you get on the news park ad the first few tame Despard Kitty when I was when I was a fly with she gave it to me like home percents give it to me take their speed be honest they can wake up sparred most people faster than she and that's compared to man all she has lateness beat it's crazy but ever since you turned probably Lena there's been no rest for the weekend 13 and out points one after the other I think in 2017 too far five times from March and it has that busy schedule do you enjoy playing that many times a year and I will be looking back on forward or is that just to kick you off mana snap I don't like fighting too much I could fake tan pains of a kid in the year what is the training camps it's an awful lot it takes it talking about if I see you know 21 years now think of all the Rangers born old all the kind of punches the probably take know me and relieved him year ago I think about longevity as well in Lathan sport and you know overdoing it with spawn and taking you must see people who shot Warren I've seen it that's that's why I don't make it because I seen it almost seen people you know even when I was in LA in the year like they sparred mando they crazy like three four times a week and that was every waking one that did not face come up and I have seen guys started in here we weren't the same people at the end of the year and that's nice to see listen this is the dark state of over sport and know something that I'm very aware of some you know if you think about too much they come Bobby which I try not to so yeah listen I would say as much as I could per year but see I happen to be away from my family and and then being in the training camps you know six twelve weeks whatever you're doing it's it's a it's an awful lot of time at this stage you know as we are to kid so being away from them ins would be you know that much and
