It took Katie Taylor four minutes and 58 seconds to change the face of boxing according to some of the more hysterical comments from ringside at Wembley on Saturday night.Taylor made her professional debut, whacked away at Karina Kopinska until the referee, most of whom in Britain have handled just one or two female fights, waved it off in the third round. Taylor was fighting six rounds for the first time in her life and it has been a long, long time since she had such an easy night.Those are the raw statistics, facts that need to be visited each time Taylors progress is monitored.A few hours after Taylors debut, a man called Vasyl Lomachenko -- the Taylor of mens boxing -- retained his WBO super-featherweight title in only his eighth fight.Lomachenko, like Taylor, won an Olympic gold in London, European and World amateur championship titles before switching to punch for pay.The Ukrainian won his first world title in his third fight, his second in his seventh and right now is poised once again to move up in weight and win a third title at a third weight.He can do it because he, just like Taylor, is a ring genius and would not have benefitted from fighting even one bum.Kopinska lost for the 15th time in 25 fights and simply turned away when Taylor got nasty.Taylor is 30, younger than the world champions in the weight categories near her current fighting weight, and she has the type of options that Lomachenko had when he turned professional two years ago.She also has the same type of truly ruthless attitude that Lomachenko has; on Saturday she was shaking when she was hauled off poor Karina, her eyes betrayed her and she wanted to carry on.Belgian Delfine Persoon is the WBC lightweight world champion and she needs to be in the ring with Taylor by the end of next summer. A woman called Cecilia Braekhus has five world title belts at welterweight and is unbeaten with just eight stoppages in 29 fights.A compromise on the weight could be easily reached with Breakhus to create the first real female super fight. The Laila Ali and Jacqueline Frazier fight was wonderful hype, nothing more.Taylor, like Lomachenko, should not be judged like other top amateurs when they turn professional.She should not be fed fodder, have a career propped up by hapless imports and that will suit her.She will also have revenge on her mind and will want to get at the three women that beat her this year and left such a sad endnote on her brilliant amateur career.Finlands Mira Potkonen, French Olympic champion Estelle Mossely and the mystery Ajeeri Yana Alekseevna will also be keeping a close eye on the progress of the woman from Bray.Taylor wants revenge, they will be happy to show it was not a fluke.On Saturday night some people might have been a bit surprised by how savage Taylor was once she had Kopinska hurt and bothered. Please, leave your pretty prejudices at the door.That is a permissible observation, but the constant bleating about Wow, Taylor can really fight, was an insult to all of the female boxers that have taken part in amateur contests during the last 25 years. Taylor is the elite end, but she has not been in a cave.There is a woman from Poland called Ewa Brodnicka and she has the European belt at Taylors weight, and she has probably being fighting for about 2,000 Euros; Taylor fights Switzerlands Viviane Obenauf on the Anthony Joshua bill in December and she could win her first belt. Taylor, by the way, would beat Persoon today.On Saturday night one of the best British and Irish amateurs in history made her debut, she won in style and the next three years will be a joy covering her.It has been an equal joy covering her since her first European title win in 2005, her first World championship in 2006, her gold medal at the Haringey BoxCup in north London, her Olympic campaigns and her Irish titles.Trust me, Katie Taylor changed the face of female boxing a long, long time before she was fed Saturdays sacrifice.

MIAMI -- A lawyer who assisted the NCAA in its investigation of University of Miami athletics is facing a 91-day suspension from practicing law, according to new court documents.The documents show thats what the Florida Bar recommended to the Florida Supreme Court in the case of attorney Maria Elena Perez. A Bar referee found she violated numerous legal ethics by sharing information with the NCAA she got from witnesses she interviewed while representing former Hurricanes booster Nevin Shapiro in a bankruptcy case.Shapiro is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for operating a $930 million Ponzi scheme. It was Shapiros improper actions with recruits, athletes and staffers that prompted the NCAA to strip Miami of nine football scholarships and put its athletics department on three years probation that ends Oct. 21.The NCAA has acknowledged it was wrong to align with Perez and pay her more than $18,000 to get information from the witnesses she was interviewing on Shapiros behalf. The bankruptcy case was aimed at finding money to return to wronged investors in Shapiros fraud scam, and Shapiro sought to cooperate in hopes of getting a lighter prison sentence in his criminal case.The Bar investigation of Perez found that ultimately $35 million was returned to investors through the bankruptcy case.The Florida Bar filing concluded that Perez, 44, is guilty of violating eight ethical rules including lack of candor, failure to disclose key facts and making false statements.dddddddddddd In addition to the suspension from practicing law, the Bar filing recommends that Perez pay more than $4,000 in costs of the investigation.Among other things, the Bars initial complaint said that Perez failed to inform witnesses in depositions about her relationship with the NCAA and that she even contacted producers at HBO about taping depositions of former Miami equipment-room staffer Sean Allen and sports agent Michael Huyghue.In a letter responding to the Bar complaint, Perez contended that her agreement was that the NCAA would be a third-party payor and that she never worked directly for the NCAA as one of its attorneys or legal representatives.The NCAA was going to pay the undersigned counsel for work related to representing Mr. Shapiro in matters overlapping the enforcement staffs investigation of Miami, Perez wrote in the letter.She declined to comment on the filing in an email Monday other than to note that some of the original allegations were dropped.The Supreme Court could accept or reject the Bars disciplinary recommendation, and could increase or reduce the proposed penalty.-----Follow Curt Anderson on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Miamicurt ' ' '
