That one was for 2011. Katie Taylor's last defeat was four years ago in the world championship to Bulgaria's Denitsa Eliseeva but the Bray boxer avenged that controversial loss in the last 16 of the European Games in Baku today. Taylor won every round to claim a unanimous decision win and she will now face Ida Lundblad of Sweden in the quarter-finals on Wednesday. There was success for other Irish boxers too, with Dean Walsh and Michael O'Reilly making the quarter-finals of the welterweight and middleweight classes respectively.
