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. stream Taylor 15.12
The 2012 Olympic gold medalist did not alone 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.

Taylor (12-0, 5 KOs), all business throughout 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 rear foot from the opening bell, picking her spots with sharp, accurate punches upstairs before opening up with effective body combinations toward the end of first round amid “Olé, Olé, Olé” chants that cascaded down from the mezzanine.
In the second Taylor's left hook continued to locate purchase on the welt that had already appeared beneath the the best eye of Wahlström (22-1-1, 3 KO), the WBC's champion at 130lbs who was simply 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 top and body attack to keep Wahlström uncertain and tentative while removing her opponent's left hand, exposing her insufficient a plan B. klikkaa
“That has been exactly the idea,” Taylor said afterward. “[Trainer Ross Enamait] saw that she had a good left jab and when we shut that down straight away we'd have the fight won.”
By the end of the sixth Taylor was in total control and Wahlström, already a little gun-shy from the beginning, had tasted the power of her naturally bigger opponent and either wouldn't or couldn't offer a meaningful response. Taylor grew more emboldened in the seventh, stepping to the pocket for longer stretches and unloading with further educated combinations and flurries to the body.
