Mind games can play a significant part in getting the edge over an opponent, even if it's tender.
The last thing you would expect from someone who wants to separate you from your senses is a kiss - but that's exactly what Norway's Cecilia Braekhus copped during a pre-fight press conference hyping her upcoming bout with Sweden's Mikaela Lauren.
The two will do battle for the IBF World Female Peso Welter Title this weekend, in Norway.
Lauren is the underdog, having come up short in their previous fight seven-years ago, but she certainly caught the Norwegian off guard.
The Swede was talking a big game ahead of the rematch.
"Cecilia is a very arrogant person but when she feels my power she won't be so cocky," Lauren told Boxing Scene.
