Katie Taylor continued her dominance of women's lightweight boxing at The SSE Arena, Wembley on Saturday night, defeating the mandatory WBA challenger Miriam Gutierrez.
Taylor, as she often is, was the heavy favourite on paper and looked comfortable throughout as she defeated her Spanish opponent by unanimous decision after 10 rounds.
Although no fans were allowed in the arena to cheer the Bray native on, Ireland was firmly behind Taylor, taking to Twitter to voice their support and observations throughout the bout.
Here's a taste of their thoughts:
Love for an Irish legend
An immaculate performance from Katie Taylor on what was great night for boxing #TaylorGutierrez
