5 time world amateur champion and 2016 Olympic Gold medalist Katie Taylor 6-0 (4 Ko's) arrested the vacant WBA female lightweight title away from former 3 weight champion Anahi Ester Sanchez 17-2 (9 Ko's) of Argentina with a unanimous decision on Saturday night at the Principality in Cardiff, Wales in only her 7th pro outing.. Taylor dropped the tough South American early with a body shot and consistently had Sanchez on the back foot throughout most of the bout. Sanchez did have a few moments, but lacked the devil that was required to deny the Irish girl her big moment.. Sanchez failed weight yesterday and had to relinquish the title, with only Taylor allowed to win the vacant belt..
Sanchez showed her toughness but was shutout by the more accurate and driven Taylor..
All scorecards were 99-90 in favour of Taylor.
