Reigning World and European lightweight champion Katie Taylor completed a fantastic day for Irish amateur boxing after claiming her third major title at the European Union Championships in Liverpool on Sunday August 10th 2008.
The Bray Boxing club sensation beat Cindy Orain of France 11-0 over three rounds to finish on top of the 60Kg podium at the Greenpark Sports Arena on Merseyside.
The 21 year old Irish woman, who did not concede a point in the tournament, won the first round 2-0, stretched her lead to 6-0 and the end of round two, before adding another five points to her total in the final frame.
Commentating on today’s win, Peter Taylor, who was in his daughter’s corner in Liverpool along with Pat Ryan, said
they were satisfied with the victory. “Katie dominated today’s final and she is thrilled with the victory and very pleased with the fact that she did not concede a single point in Liverpool.”
