Irish lightweight Katie Taylor advanced
to the semi finals of the 6th Women's European Championships
following
a stunning first round knock out of Spain's Mc de la Guia Guerra in
Vejle Denmark this afternoon.
The St Fergal's Bray woman, boxing out of the blue corner, dropped
the 6ft tall Spaniard with a left hook after just 30 seconds and her
opponent was counted out.
Taylor, the reigning World 60Kg champion, is targeting her third
European 60Kg title in a row in Denmark. The 21 year old will now
meet Yana Zavyalova from the Ukraine in tomorrows semi final.
Zavyalova, ranked 11in the World and 8th In Europe,recorded a
convincing 20-6 victory over Germanys Natalia Kalinowski today.
Taylor, who is ranked number one in the World and Europe, is
guaranteed at least bronze following today's win which saw her rack
up an eight point lead before bringing the bout to a premature end
with a stinging left.
