The KO did not come for Katie Taylor in her second professional fight against Viviane Obenauf at the Manchester Arena but the Bray fighter was still impressive.
Taylor cruised to victory against her Brazilian-born opponent. She knocked her opponent down in the second round and left her bloodied as she won the fight by unanimous decision.
The bout came just two weeks after her professional debut against Karina Kopinska at the Wembley Arena where she stopped her Polish opponent in the third round.
Those watching the fight, which was on the Anthony Joshua vs Eric Molina card on Sky Box Office, were against impressed with the 30-year-old.
Well done again @KatieTaylor #champ

Katie Taylor knocked down and bloodied her opponent, but goes to a decision where she'll win every round.
