By SecondsOut.com on Doghouse Boxing. It has always been tradition for the best boxer across all of the
Men’s weight categories to be rewarded for his efforts with a trophy,
but with Women making their debut at the Olympic Games this year, it was
decided that the same honour should be bestowed upon them.
The choice would be decided by the experts, by the journalists, those
who covered every single minute of competition, analysed and dissected
every bout to give their expert opinions.
After triumphing in the Lightweight (60kg) final, Ireland’s
Katie Taylor was the overwhelming choice to take the ’Best Women’s Boxer
of the London 2012 Olympic Games’ trophy. Her technique, her poise and
her all-round excellence had the pundits acclaiming her exploits in
unison as she took sixty percent of the vote.
A pioneer, 25-year-old Katie Taylor has taking the sport to new
heights with her level of skills and dedication to the sport. She is a
worthy winner of the first ever women’s best boxer trophy.
The decision was not decided on sentiment; the experts agreed that
her performances at the ExCeL in both the quarters and semi-finals made
her the perfect choice to be rewarded with the trophy. The Irish boxer
was in scintillating form in her previous two bouts, eliminating the
rising star from Tajikistan Mavzuna Chorieva in the semi-finals and
before that overcoming the tough challenge of Natasha Jonas of Great
Britain in arguably the best contest of the whole competition
