Katie makes it win no 140
The Olympic champion, who heads into 2014 for an unprecedented eighth year as AIBA World No. 1 ranked lightweight, beat Finland’s Mira Potkonen on an unanimous decision at a sold-out Ballywaltrim Community Centre.
Saturday’s victory on the “Road to Rio” headliner arrived 24 hours after she beat Paris-born Canadian international Caroline Veyre at Dublin’s Mansion House. Both women – Taylor had beckoned to the Finn to come forward for a dust up – went toe-to-toe in the last frame, Taylor getting the better of the exchanges.
