The opponent who beat Taylor (Russian born, previously represented Ukraine, now fights for Azerbaijan)is experienced, no pushover, has a longer reach and a strong punch. They have fought before and one fight was decided on points-going to Taylor but with not a hair's breadth between them. Taylor moves on to the World Championship in a month. If she reaches the semifinals, she should go to Rio.
The Father not being in her corner may not have helped either.
