First round knock-out for Katie Taylor as she owns Paddy Barnes on Twitter

Five-time world champion, kick-ass sparring partner and quick as a whip on Twitter

Katie Taylor has responded in style to Paddy Barnes’ tongue-in-cheek jibes over her lack of Commonwealth gold. The SportsJOE columnist sent this tweet to Taylor on Monday morning after her gold medal win in South Korea.

Here @KatieTaylor ya may have 5 World titles but have ya got 2 Commonwealth Games titles??? #fightme

Taylor touched down in Dublin last night and was quick to catch up on all of her messages and tweets. She floored Barnes with this response. 

@paddyb_ireland haha! The commonwealths?! Sure my Ma would win a gold medal in that!!
