Katie Taylor bounces back after her shock defeat on Friday

The Bray native was back in winning form today, after her surprise defeat at the hands of Yana Alekseevna last Friday.

Taylor easily defeated Svetlana Staneva in the Women’s Lightweight 57-60kg Box-Off bout, competing for third place.

After some disagreements among the judges, the Irish fighter was crowned victorious by an unanimous 3-0 win (39-37; 40; 35, 40-36).

After the win, Taylor now has a somewhat easier path to the Rio Olympics, where she hopes to defend her 60kg title, won in London.
