Katie Taylor Eva Wahlström

The magnificent Katie Taylor made no progress toward her ultimate goal of unifying the
fractured world lightweight championship on Saturday night, but the most popular Irish title-
holder did nothing to curb her meteoric ascent up boxing's paying ranks in her scintillating
Madison Square Garden debut.

The 2012 Olympic gold medalist did not merely outbox and outclass Finland's Eva Wahlström in
a meeting of erstwhile amateur rivals on the undercard of the super middleweight title fight
between Canelo Álvarez and Rocky Fielding: Taylor won every minute of each round against a
previously undefeated world champion during a medical and occasionally shocking beatdown.
All three ringside judges scored it a 100-90 shutout, as did the Guardian. Katie Taylor Eva

Canelo Álvarez pours it on in three-round destruction of Rocky Fielding

Taylor (12-0, 5 KOs), all business during a crowd-pleasing entrance to the Pogues'Fairytale of
New York, used fluid in-and-out movement and blinding hand speed to keep Wahlström on the
trunk foot from the opening bell, picking her spots with sharp, accurate punches upstairs before
checking with effective body combinations toward the finish of first round amid “Olé, Olé, Olé”
chants that cascaded down from the mezzanine.

In the next Taylor's left hook continued to get purchase on the welt that had already appeared
beneath the the proper eye of Wahlström (22-1-1, 3 KO), the WBC's champion at 130lbs who
was moving up a division to challenge for Taylor's WBA and IBF lightweight belts. The Bray
fighter's ring intelligence was on full display as she unpredictably alternated the pinnacle and
body attack to keep Wahlström uncertain and tentative while removing her opponent's left
hand, exposing her lack of an agenda B. katso ilmaiseksi netissä

“That has been precisely the idea,” Taylor said afterward. “[Trainer Ross Enamait] saw that she
had an excellent left jab and when we shut that down straight away we'd have the fight won.”

By the finish of the sixth Taylor was in total control and Wahlström, already somewhat gun-shy
from the beginning, had tasted the energy of her naturally bigger opponent and either wouldn't
or couldn't offer a meaningful response. Taylor grew more emboldened in the seventh,
stepping into the pocket for longer stretches and unloading with further educated
combinations and flurries to the body.
