Undisputed Lightweight Title Defense
Tonight’s Matchroom/DAZN Co Main Event between Undisputed Lightweight Champion Katie Taylor (18-0, 6 Kos) and Natasha Jonas (9-2-1, 7 kos) at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England did not disappoint.
These two exceptional boxers put on quite a show from start to finish. Real Talk! Natasha proved to be a worthy opponent and physically pushed Katie to really up her game inside that squared circle.
Natasha stood her ground and went blow for blow with the Champ, dishing out just as much as she was receiving making the bout a really close to call. Both combatants were landing heavy shots and pressing the action round after round.
That being said, I personally think the deciding factor in this bout was the constant four-punch combinations that Taylor was dishing out. That was key in tonight’s showdown. Katie’s work rate edged it out as the Judges scored it 96-94, 96-95, 96-95 in favor of the Champ.
This was by far one of her toughest wins to date but one well-deserving for the Undisputed Lightweight champion Katie Taylor.
Congratulations Champ!
