World and European champion Katie Taylor beat Ukranian Julia Tsyplakova 19-4 on saturday. Katie Taylor beat Tsyplakova 10-2 on Friday in a special bout during the Elite Senior National Championships in Dublin.

Eric Donovan produced a stunning first round to emerge victorious from his all St Michael's lightweight final with David Oliver Joyce at the Elite National Senior Championships at the National Stadium in Dublin tonight.
Donovan, who was beaten by Joyce in the 2007 featherweight final, was 11-2 ahead at the end of round one after forcing his opponent into a standing count.
Joyce managed to reduced the arrears to 12-6 at the end of the second and looked en route to completing an amazing comeback after moving to within three points of his Athy team-mate one minute into the third.
However, Donovan upped the tempo once again in the final 40 seconds to post a 17-10 win, a victory that also secured him the boxer of the Championships award.
Meanwhile, John Joe Nevin,  who admitted that he was very disappointed with his performance tonight, claimed his third senior belt in a row following 7-5 a decision over 2005 senior finalist Derek Thorpe of the St Aidan's club in Wexford.
Nevin, a semi finalist at the 2009  AIBA World Senior Championships took a low tempo first round 3-1, but  Thorpe leveled it at 3-3 after registering the only scores of the second.

Meanwhile, U/21 champ Gary Molloy added the Irish flyweight title to his collection with a hard-fought victory over Conor Ahern. Molloy, who boxes out of the Moate club in Westmeath, withstood a late surge as Ahern reduced a 6-4 deficit to one point in the final thirty seconds.
However, the newly crowned champion showed enough composure and ring craft in the final 30 seconds to claim the 51Kg belt that lay vacant following the withdrawal of defending champion Declan Geraghty because of injury.
World  Youth champ Ray Moylette also won his first senior belt this evening following an impressive win over Ulster senior champion Stephen Donnelly. The St Anne's Westport won the first 3-0 and was 5-2 ahead at the end of the second before taking advantage of Donnelly chasing the bout to add another five points to his tally in the final 60 seconds.
Holy Trinity super-heavyweight Cathal McMonagle staged the comeback of the Championships to beat Tommy Sheehan of the St Michael's Athy club. Sheehan was 10-5 up in the third and final round of this encounter, but McMonagle, a three times senior champ, restored parity at 10-10 before landing the winning score in the final 10 seconds.
