She defeated Jessica McCaskill, who went on to capture a 140- pound title last October and is lokingl forward to adding more big names to her casualties. This includes Cecilia Braekhus, the unbeaten long- reigning Welterweight champion and pound for pound queen.
“I would take Amanda Serrano or Cecilia Braekhus but I really want that last belt,” Taylor admits. “Those fights are so much bigger if I come in with all four (lightweight) belts.”
