Before: Sabrina skyrocketing into the welterweight title picture in the second half of ’21, but hit a snag at the hands of fellow rookie Iskra Lawrence. When asked if she’s ready for top-tier contender Tahnee, “I’m going to find out in a little bit, aren’t I? Welter’s too small a pond to avoid the big fish, that’s why it’s the shortest route to a title!”

Tahnee pulling herself back into the welter top 5 after her Best of 7 took its toll, and is quite frank about her chances: “I demolish a redhead after beating Camille, and Amanda has to deal with me!”

Ringposts in sand setup. Sabrina painted with a double-breasted crisscross leopard print bikini, white gloves, hair loose and wild. Tahnee painted in a yellow triangle bikini, black gloves, hair wetted and slicked back, both fighters barefoot in the sand.

R1: Tahnee's early combinations pelt at arms&shoulders, Sabrina able to jam short ripostes up the middle, off the block, but Bossie Aussie sustains the pace. By the minute mark, Atkinson working with jerking left uppercuts in concert with rapid straight rights to split Lynn's guard, punching her backward. Final minute, Sabrina steadily reduced at ropes when Tahnee reaches in under redhead's arms to stack her deep for the first time. ATKINSON WANTS RACK! Tahnee baring her teeth, wrestling apart Sabrina's arms and jerking up into those magnificent melons. Thrusting, pumping assault in snug has Lynn bleating in pain at bell: Atkinson pushing up off cringing ginger.

R2: Both fighters looks to dominate early: right idea; problematic result. Tahnee batting mitts off sturdy Sabrina meat, but redhead answering right back: crowd-pleasing spank of small gloves on tight bodies erupts loud and rapid. Atkinson redoubles her efforts - hup-hup-hupping to sturdy ribs in close: Lynn able to take it, pump it right back. Sabrina very compact, landing overhand right off Tahnee's chin while dipping down: rookie's coming forward, pushing former division fighter of the year back. Ropes: Atkinson grimacing...she's punching hard n' short to Lynn's midsection and jugs, trying to bang 'er back, but redhead won't have it. Sabrina's pale legs shred up strong as she holds the sand she's taken: head lowered, shoulders rotating as she pumps digging lefts and rights to Tahnee. There they stay - little patch of canvas at the ropes a few feet from Atkinson's corner: Lynn eventually shutting Aussie down and enjoying her in one-sided fashion to the bell.

R3: Fighters get right back in there. Sabrina pursing her lips as she hums away with both fists - palm-down lefts and rights carving at ribs behind Tahnee's elbows. Atkinson gasping in pain, giving ground, then spearing Lynn timing-counters as she comes in: big ginger willing to take a little for the privilege of roasting that prize brunette ribcage. Furious battles fought all along the ropes as Sabrina hunts Tahnee down, forcing the battle: Aussie baring teeth, blazing away all big girl hup-hup - furiously scouring her foe's generous rack in the exchanges. Lynn getting more and more chopped up as Atkinson gets off, then squirts off to the side: redhead having trouble pinning Tahnee to ropes. By the final minute, Atkinson has the feel of it: sliding into range while dragging her lead (left) foot; walking Lynn into tattooing, brisk rights and lefts; pivoting away to either side, and sliding out of range as Cali girl adjusts. Pointed flurry at the bell pounds at Sabrina's rack, Tahnee stamping away jugs a’jumpin’ straight lefts and rights, lips curled off perfect white teeth as she humbles her foe.

R4: HARD right hand caroms off Tahnee's brow: Sabrina so sudden with it, landing before brunette can react. Hooks upside the head bat Atkinson off course...punching her to the same patch of sand. Lynn bounces in, digs up tummy, pumps the lungs: robust body work has Tahnee shabby with hurt. Atkinson grimacing - right hand at left cheek/left across throbbing gut: she's being overwhelmed by non-stop Lynn punching. Sabrina never falls in atop Tahnee, never smothers herself - she's always got good bouncy balance, every punch landing with popping leverage, then she's able to change angle around that planted left foot. Rivetting, stiff, straight punches decimating Atkinson: face is busting up; rack constantly under threat as Lynn deliberately humbles hooters by the bell.

R5: Fighters settling in shoulder-to-shoulder, lifting punches into willing breadbaskets/jiggling jugs. Bruising bump-and-slug at close quarters leads to arms wrapping around, tripping each other to the sand for a Spring Break roll-around. Ref stands ‘em up, wags a finger at them, fighters’ backs picking up a sugar-cookie coating of sand. Same again - fighters close, push-in with left shoulders bullying opposing tits while fists lap at tummies&tits. Fiercely fought for 2 minutes, then Sabrina's will starts to prevail...she bulls Tahnee to ropes, forcing brunette to cover up earmuff. Lynn snarling, slamming away left/right side to side slop head-and-shoulders on stricken Atkinson, buttocks jumpin' as she gets her hips into the sock. Tahnee butt-in-ropes, just riding it out, JMDD calibre jugs sloshing madly about on both fighters as Sabrina pours the leather to her trapped Aussie.

R6: Sabrina drifting Tahnee an early right cross: brunette jerked a quarter turn to her right, redhead all bared teeth/seething eyes. Lynn pounding right hands against Atkinson's guard, driving her ropeside: Cali girl girl momentarily overwhelming her Aussie with energetic hooks and crosses. Tahnee eventually ducking under, tying up Sabrina's waist to tackle her to the sand for ref's break. Atkinson slides back from Lynn, spoiling a barrage that moves air. Sabrina forward with her own momentum; Tahnee coiled, right hand at chin, weight on right leg: again she slides back as ginger wades in punching, then Atkinson leans in, KISSING chin a streaking right off the shoulder! Lynn’s eyes click shut; lips part in stupor; head swivels as she's falling forward and SABRINA’S DOWN! Tahnee raises her hands, struts away as Lynn lies very still on her face and tummy: KO6 as Tahnee Atkinson survives a scare!

After: Tahnee barges in, lugs hurting Sabrina to her feet, forcing her through the ropes into the open sand outside the ring. Then her face is sealed tight against the bulging swell of Atkinson’s hulking rack! Tahnee wrapping up tight, left arm behind Sabrina’s neck to lock up on the right bicep—right hand cupping the top of Lindsay’s damp skull and BEAMING like a kid at Christmas. Tahnee shaking side to side at times, cinching up tighter, nodding to the crowd, biting her lower lip in concentration as she soaks up the last of Sabrina’s dignity. Lynn slowly sagging to one knee, hands on Atkinson’s hips, Aussie finally releasing with a big grin, glorying in the sight. Sabrina lolling, face sporting bright yellow as Tahnee’s paint rubs off, mouth open as she sways on the spot—what a nightmare for the hot young prospect. We haven’t seen a really great smother from Tahnee after the struggle with Hannah, but as she puts her foot in Sabrina’s chest then shoves her onto her back, prepositioned for a victory pose with the redhead’s magnificent rack under her heel, it looks like Tahnee is back!
