    Judo might be interesting if the females wore one-piece or 2-piece swimsuits, and points were awarded only when one judoist admits she can't take any more punishment and submits...

    The natural urge of a victorious sportsman is to celebrate, and some of the most memorable sporting moments are the joyous spontaneous moments of celebration.

    Does she have cauliflower ears like Tani, they are hidden by her hair? If so...well,it's kind of a turn off! Well done, she could kick all of our behinds no doubt! I hope the Portugese girl recovers...

    I disagree. Jelly would be better.

    Monteiro looks like Ricky Hatton at the end of the 2nd round after Manny Pacquiao landed his left hook.

    The Portugese girl was fine. She was just mentally knocked out by losing to an Ippon throw with only seconds left after defending for the whole bout.
