      Katie Taylor STILL the lightweight queen with dominant display over Karen Carabajal – winning by unanimous decision

      by

      KATIE TAYLOR remained the undisputed lightweight queen with a textbook win over mandatory challenger Karen Carabajal.The London 2012 Irish Olympic legend returned to Wembley arena – the scene of her 2016 pro debut – to secure a unanimous decision over the brave but limited Argentine.

      The female fighting pioneer – a former super-light champ too – went 22-0 and kept hold of her crowns with scores of: 100-91, 99-91 and 98-92.
      Carabajal did not come all the way to London to throw away her 19-0 record and she threw meaningful shots at the Irish icon in the opener.
      But the Wicklow warrior used all of her challenger’s shots as an invitation to slip and counter expertly.
      Taylor was the shorter woman, with the shorter reach, but she used Carabajal’s long levers against her in the second by ducking inside her punches and firing.

      Taylor starred in a ground-breaking Madison Square Garden showdown with fellow legend and seven-weight champion Amanda Serrano in April so had to fight against complacency as well as the South American.
      The pair traded bravely in the fourth and Taylor was tagged to make things interesting.
      Taylor drove a poleaxe straight into Carabajal’s face in the fifth and was harder to hit, having found her rhythm and timing.
      The Bray star was able to show off her defensive skills in the seventh when she was coasting on the scorecards and in tune with all of her opponent’s lunges.

      A clash of heads in round nine opened up a gash on the right eye of Carabajal but she never stopped swinging in her late effort to land the upset.
      But Taylor was faultless in her latest defence and can now target a more high-profile fight in the Spring.
      Earlier in the evening, Peterborough featherweight Jordan Gill was violently dismantled by evergreen Spaniard Kiko Martinez.
      The Brit tried to defend his 9st European title against the 36-year-old two-weight world champ.
      But he was dropped four times and left with a mangled face before the one-sided assault was stopped in the fourth.

      Paul says he’ll challenge Tyson Fury…in WWE?

      Paul’s older sibling Logan recently crossed over to professional wrestling and challenges for the WWE title on November 5.
      The YouTube sensation, 25, is open to starring alongside the Gypsy King but only after fighting his brother Tommy, 23, in the boxing ring.
      He told Sky Sports: “Maybe a wrestling event, maybe we go WWE.
      “I definitely want to take out his little brother though, Tommy. I think that’s still a big fight and there’s unfinished business.”

      How hard does Paul punch?
      Jake Paul’s sparring partners have been left all saying the same thing ahead of his fight with Anderson Silva, according to his coach.
      Paul’s head trainer BJ Flores claimed the feedback from the sessions have all been on the YouTuber-turned-boxer’s power.
      Flores told Yahoo Sports: “I’d say he is a prospect and someone to definitely watch out for.
      “One thing you have to do with Jake is really be conscious of both hands.
      “People have seen the right hand, but the left hand is also strong and has been developing.
      “Everybody says the same thing: ‘He can really, really punch.'”

      Anderson Silva speaks
      What MMA legend Anderson Silva said in the build up to tonight’s huge fight, which is FINALLY here.
      Silva said: “Listen, everything is possible. Jake and [his] brother are training hard [to become] boxers. [They] try to [show] respect for the community. The kids have good potential and the people need to respect that.
      “I don’t feel pressure any more because everything I do in this sport and MMA I do with my heart.
      “I think now is the next step for me. I try to enjoy my life, and when people think that’s too much pressure because I need to prove that I represent the MMA Community – no, I represent myself and represent my fans.”

      Jake Paul’s glove tonight
      Jake Paul will wear specially-made “snooze” boxing gloves after predicting a knockout victory over UFC legend Anderson Silva.
      And he vowed to make up for lost time with a career-best victory over Brazilian icon Silva.
      He said: “Knock him out before round five – that’s my prediction and I strong, strongly believe in that.
      “Respectfully knock him out. With love and grace and a kiss.”
      Paul is set to play up to his words by wearing a pair of custom-made Grant gloves with “ZZZ” written on them.

      Why Dana White is the real reason for fight
      Jake Paul revealed Dana White is the reason he is fighting UFC legend Anderson Silva.
      Paul said: “I think it’s because I’m the No1 figurehead that is exposing his business model and how much of a shark he is and how poorly he treats his fighters.
      “He said I wouldn’t fight Anderson Silva, who is one of UFC’s greats, and now here I am fighting him.
      “And he largely, in part, promoted that. He’s the reason why I took this fight… it’s to prove him wrong and shut him the hell up.”

      Paul vs Silva in net worth
      According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jake Paul is valued at £52m ($60m) compared to Silva’s £16m ($18m).
      The Brazilian was one of the UFC’s highest-paid PPV stars during his iconic career, before departing in 2020.
      His biggest guaranteed purse was $800,000 the night he faced Nick Diaz, although he would have earned more through box office bonuses.
      Paul claimed he would be giving Silva’s his highest ever payday, something the old icon denied.
      What Paul did say to Silva?
      Jake Paul and Anderson Silva’s friendly rivalry turned sour during their face off after the weigh in.
      And Paul could be seen whispering far from sweet nothings towards Silva.
      Paul said roared: “I said to him ‘it’s my generation, it’s my time’. To be a legend you’ve got to beat a legend.
      “It’s time for war, I asked him if he’s ready. It’s been nice nice nice, it’s been swet sweet sweet.
      “I respect that man but he’s trying to take the food off of my plate, he’s trying to stop my run.”
      What happened at the weigh in?
      Jake Paul weighed a career-lowest for his fight with Anderson Silva.
      One the day before the toughest test of his boxing career, Paul hit the scales at 186.5lb, under the agreed upon catchweight with Silva.
      He said: “Let’s go. Biggest fight of year, Paul-Silva, Showtime get it right now.”
      The American’s five prior wins all came around the 190lb mark, and he wanted to return at 185lb.
      But UFC legend Silva negotiated a compromise of 187lb, with the Brazilian also coming in under the limit at 186.1lb.

      And Tyson Fury’s younger half-brother, 23, reckons the American can’t be taken seriously until they meet.
      Paul has won all his five pro fights, while Silva has won both his bouts since retiring from MMA two years ago.
      Fury, 23, and 25-year-old Paul are still trying to set up a grudge match after two cancellations.
      And the Mancunian suggested the social media celebrity is taking easy money in the meantime.

      Asked if Paul will beat Silva, he replied: “Very comfortably. He’s not a boxer, he’s an MMA fighter who’s been retired for years and is 50 years of age.
      “Jake Paul’s a con man. Until he signs to fight me, I’m not interested in what he does.”
      But Silva insists he’s in good enough condition to see off Paul.
      The Brazilian said: “I’m going to do my best to make a good show for everyone.

      “Of course I’m going to win, I’m training for that fight.”
      Silva came in at 186.1lb and Paul at a career-low 186.5lb for their catchweight contest.
      Paul has compiled his unbeaten record at around 190lb but Silva negotiated a compromise of 187lb. More

      Though there had been discussions as to whether to fight should even take place after Silva caused concern by saying he was knocked out two times in training for the 187lb catchweight clash with Paul.
      The UFC legend – speaking at the open workout – though later clarified that it was just kidology and lost in translation.
      The Arizona commission reacted by organising an emergency meeting later that night to discuss the claims.
      Silva took an MRI scan on Wednesday, which along with previous medical exams all came back with “pristine” results.
      Commissioner Ara J. Feinstein, a trauma surgeon and ringside doctor, passed the Brazilian fit to fight.

      And he had no room for two-time world champion Joshua as he simultaneously lavished praise on Tyson Fury.
      He said: “I would say obviously Tyson.
      “I think he’s far, easily the number one.
      “I think the number two is (Oleksandr) Usyk. I think number three is (Deontay) Wilder.

      “I’ll then say Joe (Joyce).
      “And then I’ll say – and you would probably think yeah you would say this – but I also think Daniel (Dubois).”
      His snub of Joshua comes after he and Fury were unable to agree terms in order to fight on December 3 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
      In his autobiography, Gloves Off, Fury revealed how his desire to give fans “a moment of sporting history” sparked his retirement U-turn.

      But Fury has instead drafted in Derek Chisora to complete a trilogy bout against him on the date.
      Once that is out of the way, Fury could then face off against Usyk in a heavyweight unification bout for the ages that would see all four belts on the line for the first time in the four-belt era. More
