You don’t see this every day.
Katie Taylor had far too much speed and precision for Viviane Obenauf in Manchester, tonight, and claimed her second professional victory by a unanimous points decision.
Taylor caused Obenauf, who fights out of Switzerland, major issues from the get-go and rarely looked in trouble. Considering Obenauf entered the contest at 9-1 in 10 pro fights, Taylor’s win was a nice marker to lay down to her division.
One of the main talking points in the six-round fight came in the closing stages as Obenauf, with a nasty cut above her eye, appeared to aim a tender kiss at Taylor’s neck while she was in the clinch.
Fight fans watching the match-up, could not quite believe their eyes.
Was that a little kiss on the neck between from Viviane Obenauf to Katie Taylor??? #JoshuaMolina #katietaylor

All those years in Switzerland have turned Obenauf, a Brazilian native, into an all-round European.
