Mark Robinson/Matchroom
Katie Taylor is still the undisputed lightweight champion, out-pointing Natasha Jonas over 10 rounds in Manchester to keep the WBC, WBA, IBF, and WBO titles.
Taylor retained on scores of 96-95, 96-95, and 96-94. Bad Left Hook had it 97-93 for Taylor, but both did some good work along the way. Taylor was more active for most of the fight, her work rate carrying several rounds, and she did buzz Jonas once with a stiff right hand. But she also felt some shots from Jonas, who is the naturally bigger puncher, and the challenger did some very effective body work in the fight, too, making it competitive in the second half especially.
