Katie Taylor v Viviane Obenauf – Betting Odds
Katie Taylor steps into the pro ring for the second time tomorrow night at the Manchester Arena on the undercard of the big Anthony Joshua v Eric Molina pay-per-view.
Taylor takes a step up following her debut destruction of Karina Kopinska and will face Brazilian-Swiss lightweight Viviane Obenauf [9(4)-1(0)] in a fight scheduled for six two-minute rounds in front of a massive audience.
Unsurprisingly though, nineteen-time major medal winner Taylor is still a heavy favourite going into the bout and is best-priced at 1/66 (Ladbrokes). Obenauf can be had a 25/1 (Betfair, Betfred, Paddy Power) to pull off the upsets, while a draw can be had at 40/1 (general).
While the outright winner odds are prohibitive, there is potential value to be had on the fight if one looks to the extended markets.
