Katie Taylor opened her US pro account with a TKO against a totally outclassed Jasmine Clarkson in Brooklyn.
Ahead of her sixth fight in the professional ranks, the Bray woman had been critical of would-be opponents, who she felt were avoiding her.
Twenty-two-year-old Clarkson, who had a 4-8 record coming in to the fight and was only confirmed as Taylor's opponent earlier in the week, proved no match for the 2012 Olympic gold medalist.
Taylor was able to land punches at will and dominated the Texan with her usual power and pace.

Clarkson's corner had seen enough after three rounds and spared their charge any more punishment.
Hungry to get more rounds under her belt, the five-time World amateur champion, who has never gone the distance since turning pro, was seen to mouth "is it over?" to her corner when Clarkson declined to return for the fourth.
However, boxing on the Mikey Garcia-Adrien Broner undercard, Taylor did admit to "some nerves".
"It was a fantastic experience being my first time competing here in the US," said Taylor.
"There were definitely some nerves before the fight. It was great to go in there and get a stoppage.
"I hope that I made some fans tonight. I loved hearing the Irish fans in the crowd.
"I hope that there will be even more next time I fight here. The more fights I have here in the US the better.
"I thought I performed pretty well. I definitely got caught with a few silly shots. I could have been cleaner but overall it was a good performance.
"I felt good and strong. I'll be ready to get back in there as soon as possible."
WBA world lightweight champion Cecilia Comunales from Uruguay has been mentioned as a possible next opponent for Taylor.
