While Katie Taylor only won her rematch with Chantelle Cameron on a majority decision, the verdict on Conor McGregor in the minds of decent Irish people must surely now be unanimous.

If one of the three judges marking Taylor’s triumph in the 3Arena considered the contest too close to call, no one observing McGregor’s online behaviour last week could doubt that the one-time UFC superstar had left what remained of his reputation in a heap on the canvas.
