It was a long time coming.

Katie Taylor was always one of the good ones. Countless amateur titles culminated in an Olympic gold, the pinnacle. Well, we thought it was the pinnacle but Taylor herself described Saturday night as the biggest of her career. The Bray fighter won comfortably in the end with all judges scoring it at 99-90 to Taylor. It was a masterclass and Taylor revealed she wants to unify all the belts. Well, back home and across the globe, you could tell all the Irish were watching. There were joyous scenes across social media. https://twitter.com/Caaayyyy/status/924367328896344064 https://twitter.com/CurranElectrics/status/924367336907427840 https://twitter.com/shona_costello/status/924367289612455936 https://twitter.com/davidohanln6/status/924367263490297857 https://twitter.com/ashleighclark_x/status/924367194355531776 https://twitter.com/SamWiseRiehn/status/924367171312078848 https://twitter.com/dmash71/status/924367167281418240 https://twitter.com/Irenehatter/status/924367152634892288
