I gave that round to Taylor and the first to Sharipova, but you could switch those around.
Sharipova is really fast, that's giving Taylor problems. Katie's having to think an awful lot, she doesn't want to overcommit.

Image source, Matchroom BoxingFiruza Sharipova gets through with a right hand. It causes little damage on Katie Taylor, but it's just a warning perhaps.
The crowd are behind their fighter, and she responds with a left hand jab that reaches its target.

That was a very competitive first round, very even.
It looks like we're on for a 10-rounder.

Sharipova is not afraid of Katie Taylor at all, she's not fazed by the occasion.

Sharipova looks focused.
But I've just catched a glimpse of Katie Taylor. She has a look of pure venom.

There's no one who's bigger than Katie Taylor. Nobody comes close to what she does.
And then we've got Conor Benn. His father is the big attraction. Benn has had to live in his shadow.
These fans have come out to watch a legend in women's boxing and for the name Benn.

Earlier on tonight, Sunny Edwards retained his IBF flyweight world title with a routine points win over mandatory challenger Jayson Mama in Dubai.
The London fighter was defending his world title for the first time, but was rarely troubled by the previously undefeated Mama.
Edwards knocked Mama down in the tenth round on the way to a wide points decision, with the three judges delivering 117-110, 118-109, 118-109 scorecards in the defending champion's favour.

Image source, Getty ImagesThere's plenty of Irish interest tonight and Caoimhin Agyarko was clearly eager to impress in his ten-rounder against Noe Larios Jr earlier tonight.
Agyarko was up against another undefeated middleweight and Larios Jr absorbed some big shots from the Belfast man. The knockout blow finally came in the ninth round. A big right hand followed up by a powerful left hook was enough to finally break Larios Jr's resistance as the referee stepped in to stop the contest.
It was Agyarko's debut for Matchroom as he claimed the tenth win of his fledgling pro career.
Agyarko was visibly elated with the victory and who can blame him? He was stabbed at the age of 20 and an "inch away from death". But now he's got his first title of his career in the locker with the WBA international belt. Not bad, eh?

Image source, Matchroom BoxingIt was a routine win for novice Paddy Lacey on the undercard. Lacey is a semi-pro footballer and a carpet fitter when he is not between ropes.
Lacey had plenty support in the arena as he outpoint Vasif Mamedov over four rounds to move to 3-0.
Now then, time to have a quick look at tonight's other fights...
Image source, Matchroom BoxingKatie Taylor is the co-main event in Liverpool, so expect a huge reception for the Irishwoman.
At 19-0 and with the undisputed lightweight titles in her locker, Taylor will be eager to impress against Firuza Sharipova tonight. A mega fight is just on the horizon for Taylor with a contest against Amanda Serrano waiting for her in 2022 if she can maintain her undefeated record against Sharipova.
Many expect her to but as always with Taylor, we can expect fireworks!
Image source, Matchroom BoxingIt's been the year of upsets in boxing - especially for Matchroom fighters - but Conor Benn is not planning to be the next star to fall foul of a shock.
Chris Algieri is a big step up for Benn as a former world champion but the London fighter insists he won't take his eye off the ball with big fights ahead of him if he wins.
He said: "I never take my eye off the ball. I did that once and got dropped twice in the first round [against Cedrick Peynaud in 2017]. I managed to get up and drop him twice. I won't ever do it again.
"I had my holiday booked for Miami, thought it would be a lovely little pay day before Christmas, and wallop, on the deck.
"That's where that experience comes from. In this sport, it's about learning and evolving. I'm continuously evolving."
