Taylor signs off in dominant fashion
Katie Taylor wrapped up a glittering career with the perfect Croke Park farewell as she dominated Flora Pili in Dublin.
The Bray native ensured another victory to see her into retirement as the new undisputed super-lightweight champion.
Yet her top performance was as much secondary to one of the country's most famous sporting nights in recent years.
Success for the star saw her pay tribute to all her supporters afterwards following her wide unanimous decision victory.
Allen suffers bizarre no-contest bout
Dave Allen saw his hopes of a three-fight win streak arrested after a bizarre no-contest encounter with Thomas Carty.
'The White Rhino' weathered an early flurry of punches before catching his opponent flush near the back of the head.
That resulted in Carty slipping through the ropes in an ugly fall, with the star needing oxygen and medical attention.
The latter subsequently departed the venue, leaving the result as a no-contest to Allen and the crowd's bemusement.
Donovan blows away aging McKenna
Paddy Donovan kept his IBF welterweight dreams on track with a fourth-round TKO victory against Tyrone McKenna.
The former is eyeing a shot against Liam Paro after bouncing back from last year's heartbreak against Lewis Crocker.
Having scored a major win against Karen Chukhadzhian in May, 'The Real Deal' was at his best in a brief contest here.
A nasty cut to McKenna's brow forced an early stoppage from the doctors, underscoring Donovan's strength in matters.
