Katie’s conqueror apologises for verdict
Taylor was adjudged to have lost 5-1 to Denica Eliseeva in Pazardjik, but her coach and father Peter Taylor and fellow corner man Pat Ryan insisted she won each of the four rounds. “In fairness to the Bulgarian girl she apologised to Katie because of the result after the final — she showed her sportsmanship which is always good,” Ryan said afterwards.
Taylor, current World, European and EU champ and 2010 AIBA World boxer of the year, was said to devastated by the defeat against an opponent she beat 16-1 in the 2010 European Union final in Hungary and 8-1 in the 2009 European Union final in Bulgaria.
