In a year when Nicola Adams made history at the Commonwealth Games and Katie Taylor firmly underlined her name in the record books, Michaela Walsh is a surprise winner of this poll of our online readers.

Michaela rose to 54kgs for the World championships but lost a split decision to Azerbaijan’s Anna Alimardanova.
