Katie Taylor’s experience shows in victory over Natasha Jonas

over 4 years in The Irish Times

Katie Taylor retained her WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO lightweight titles after a hard-fought points victory over Natasha Jonas in a thriller at the Manchester Arena.
Nearly nine years on from their memorable quarter-final showdown at London 2012, which Taylor won en route to Olympic gold, the Irish fighter prevailed again in an equally absorbing 10-round affair.
Ultimately Taylor’s superior speed and accurate combination punching won the day, with one of the judges scoring the contest 96-94, while the other two gave her the nod 96-95.
