Kellie Anne Harrington couldn't help but embrace the moment, bobbing her head to a Black Eyed Peas song while awaiting the official decision for her quarterfinal round bout. "I got a feeling," Harrington playfully quipped to her coaches, casually singing the lyrics before being summoned to the center of the ring. Her instinct was accurate, as Harrington became the first Irish female boxer since Katie Taylor in 2012 to medal. It came courtesy of a decision win over Imane Khelif (Algeria) in the quarterfinal round of the women's lightweight bracket Tuesday at Kokugikan Arena in Tokyo.

Mira Potkonen has three wins over Harrington and one over Yildiz (and a loss to Seesondee), she's the number one seed of the fighters left IMO.

At 40 years old I'm hoping she pulls it off and gets the gold.

I'm sorry, but this Seesondee individual is a man.
He looks like a man, he acts like a man, he's a ***ing man.
