In the seventh round, McCaskill came out for blood. She marched forward, bit down on her mouthpiece and let fly with a wild flurry of punches against the ropes. The referee took a point off Taylor for holding after warning her earlier in the fight. McCaskil took a seat midway through the round, but the referee deemed it to be a stumble as opposed to a knockdown.
The relentless pace slowed a little in the closing rounds as McCaskil began wearing the effects of her hard work earlier on. Taylor closed out well and her class really showed against her tiring opponent. The Pride of Bray took the final rounds handily enough.
The judges scored the fight 97-92, 97-92 and 98-91 in Taylor's favour. After the fight, she told Sky Sports that it was the toughest fight of her career.Explore more on these topics:
