Judge's scores from that round (Taylor's first) - 8-6 4-5 6-4 8-5 5-5
Jonas' left hand is very dangerous looking. "You don't expect to be coming in her for a toboggan ride" says Jimmy. Fair enough.
Katie is going in hard again. A great start from her.
Katie picks it up now herself. She's very cute too, after landing a strong right, she holds to stop Jonas getting in a retaliation.
A standing count for Jonas as Katie has started brilliantly. She's opening up now.
@Ciara Campbell Four rounds and check the RTe website.
Lands with a straight right straight through Jonas' guard
Round 3 score is 9-4 to Katie
A body shot now. Jonas is brave but as she starts throwing more leather, she's more exposed and Katie's speed makes her pay. 9-4 in that round, eight-point lead.
Judges scores in R3 - 15-7 9-6 12-4 9-3 10-4 for an awesome 19-11 lead
She now leads by 8. Must be through now only one more round.
Pete Taylor tells his baby girl not to be holding. Doesn't want to risk any deduction.
She attacks straight away in the final round.
Another standing count for Jonas.
"Not for Katie Taylor the sofa. Everything is movement." Jimmy on form tonight. Jonas throws a punch and Taylor isn't there. Next thing Jonas is eating leather. Oh that was beautiful. Two lefts to the body and then a left-right combo to the head. And a second count for Jonas as she's staggered by a stiff right.
It's over and she must be through.....
Another bronze medal is Ireland's. Jonas congratulates Katie Taylor.
The stadium has just plain erupted... and that's before the decision!
Final score is 26-15 to Katie. Brilliant girl!!!
What a roar as the score is announced. And Katie acknowledges the crowd.
26-15 after a right royal tear up. Katie looks to the heavens, thanks God. Looks dazed and amazed. Jonas sits on the ropes to let her out and Katie claps the crowd. Gets another massive roar and Katies gives it a "come on"! Not really like her, she's so understated. But that's some release. She's enjoying that so much. Now to kick on for gold.
Bernard Dunne has tears in his eyes.
@Niall Thanks for joining us, have a mocha on me.
