Saturday night at Croke Park was all about Katie Taylor, but it was also an opportunity for some rising Irish stars (and Westlife) to perform in front of a massive audience.
In she came to the press conference room, all stealth and quiet through the darkened backdrop, stopping occasionally to take the thanks of this security guard or that member of the Croke Park staff. It was well past midnight now and Katie Taylor’s last ever fight had ended around over two hours before. But nobody was in any hurry, not her and not us. We’ll be long enough without her.
DUBLIN, Sept 5 : Ireland's Katie Taylor ended her career in style on Saturday, the most decorated female boxer beating France's Flora Pili by unanimous decision to hang up her gloves as an undisputed world super-lightweight champion before an 83,000 Croke Park crowd.
Katie Taylor had done it all before her big Saturday night in Croke Park.
“Let me just look around,” she said, cutting the ring interviewer off at the knees. He wanted Katie Taylor to say something inspiring and momentous worthy of the night but instead, as she’s always preferred, she acted rather than spoke. The lights went up and she drank in Croke Park, glistening now like a palace. Hers, finally and eternally.
The fairytale is complete. Katie Taylor has retired as a three-time undisputed world champion after comprehensively beating France's Flora Pili by a 100-90, 100-90 and 98-91 unanimous scorecard in front of a sellout crowd at Croke Park.
Not all dreams can come true, even on Katie Taylor’s night of nights.
There was an extraordinary conclusion to the co-main event at Katie Taylor’s Croke Park show as Dublin’s Thomas Carty fell through the ropes in the first round of his bout against heavyweight Dave Allen.
