"She's all over the place" screamed Joe Gallagher from the Jonas corner, encouraging his fighter to maintain her impressive pace.
With the cards very close, it was all to fight for in the last two rounds and both fighters proved how much they wanted it, biting down on their gum shields and trading hell for leather on the inside, every punch with more venom and desperation than the last.
In the end it was the Wicklow warrior's speed and ability to throw combinations in blurry flurries that saw her steal the fight at the death.
"I knew the rounds were close," admitted the Irish fighter. I knew I had to win the last rounds"
Jonas was not deterred by the result and immediately called for a rematch stating that: "I would do a trilogy. I proved that I belong at this level, every time I'm asked to step up, I do."
Taylor didn't rule it out, replying: "She has everything it takes to be a world champion.
"I would love to see a rematch between her and Terri Harper and then maybe a rematch for us."
If that's the case, then it's the fans who are the real winners tonight.Explore more on these topics:
