    Great coverage from 5 Live, Ronald's comms superb and Buncy sounds like he's a kid in a sweet shop!

    Taylor v Pili

    Pili steps on to Taylor and lands body shots before landing a BIG left hook.

    Taylor looks a little rushed for the first time in this fight but responds with clubbing blows herself.

    Much better from Pili and that may be the first round she's won.

    Hope Katie bows out in style. What an Irish, boxing and sporting legend.

    Taylor v Pili

    The corner of Taylor is telling her to let her hands go because Pili "doesn't like it".

    Taylor v Pili

    Taylor's left hand is causing all sorts of problems as she lands hard straights before dropping to the body and connecting with a right hook.

    Pili still has no answers. I don't think she can cope with the movement and speed of Taylor.

    Massive round for Katie.

    When she throws those four or five punches and then pivots from the back foot. That's textbook stuff!

    I just love when she [Taylor] puts those really rapid combinations together. The hand speed is just incredible.

    Taylor v Pili

    Pili lets her hands go early but Taylor dips out of the way and comes in with her quick combos.

    Taylor is able to control the distance, jump in, land and get back out.

    It's all going to plan so far.

    Oh my, this is more nerve racking than McGuigan v Pedroza. C'mon Katie!

    Taylor v Pili

    Taylor's speed is incredible at the age of 40. It's like she's 21!

    Her left hand is razor sharp and Pili, who keeps looking for the counter, isn't fast enough to find it.

    You get the feeling Pili isn't quite letting her hands go yet.

    I'd like to see Katie use that old favourite, Left-Hook body/head combo!

    Taylor seemed to be coming into it more in the second round, Pili on the ropes at one moment, Hope she presses on

    I think in that third round, we did see a bit more from Pili.

    I think she's thinking that she has to do something because what she is doing isn't working. You've got to have a go.

    Every fighter dreams of being in the position she's in now.

    Three rounds in and Taylor has picked up where she left off in the Serrano trilogy fight last year in New York.

    Intelligent pressure, the skills and speed giving Pili little room to get comfortable.

    Taylor v Pili

    Pili lands the double jab early in the round to give her some encouragement. Pili isn't really moving her feet and Taylor is capitalising with her in-and-out style.

    Taylor is landing hard shots when she gets within range and Pili can't respond.

    That's three rounds to the good for me.

    Pili looked a bit uncomfortable I'm not going to lie.

    Is there any chance that Katie gets the stoppage win and says I'm not done yet?

    Taylor v Pili

    Every punch landed by Taylor is met with huge cheers from the crowd.

    It's like they're in the ring with her.

  20. Round twopublished at 22:15 BST

    Taylor v Pili

    Pili steps out into the centre ring for the start of the round but Taylor engages and unloads a barrage of punches.

    The speed of Taylor's punches are proving too much for Pili at the moment and the Frenchwoman doesn't seem to have an answer.
