By Scott Gilfoid: Making her debut as a pro, 2012 Olympic Irish gold medalist Katie Taylor (1-0, 1 KOs) obliterated a badly over-matched journeyman Karina Kopinska (7-15-3, 2 KOs) by a 3rd round knockout on Saturday night at the Wembley Arena in London, UK.
Taylor, 30, caught the Polish fighter Kopinska against the ropes and flurries on her until referee Robert Williams stepped in and halted the massacre. The official time of the stoppage was at 0:58 of the 3rd.
Taylor was just teeing off from the 1st round in nailing Kopinska with hurtful looking combinations to the head and body. Taylor didn’t seem to need to worry about using any kind of finesse, because Kopinska wasn’t talented enough to throw anything back at her. It was just Taylor throwing and Kopinska catching shots to the head and body.
