Melissa clad in a light blue bikini with matching gloves; Yvonne wears a white bikini to match the blinding white sands, with matching gloves, blonde hair in a fighting ponytail.

R1: Both fighters emerge from their corners, looking determined. Yvonne comes out showing her rangy jab, a little bit taller than George, catching Melissa with a stiff right jab that swivels her head sightly and backing her up. Melissa coming forward with a right uppercut that just barely misses as Yvonne steps backwards, Yvonne then touching up her opponent with more of that steady jab, moving to slam leather down into ribs and tummy. Melissa does manage to deliver some jabs of her own, trying to work inside, as Yvonne denies her for the most part, but finds herself wincing as some stiff jabs connect with her tummy and ribs in retaliation. The two of them are still trading jabs as the round ends and the round goes to Yvonne.

R2: Yvonne moving quickly to come forward and establish that limber jab once again, displaying good footwork as she works to penetrate Melissa's guard from different angles. Melissa managing to keep up her guard for the most part, playing peek-a-boo as she keeps coming forward with hooks and quick straight shots towards Yvonne's tummy. Yvonne stays aggressive as she keeps poking and slamming her gloves forward, occasionally dipping down her assault to spank leather off of George's abs. Both of them maneuvering around the ring as Yvonne pushes her towards the ropes, rewarded towards the end of the round by breaking through Melissa's defenses and catching her with a big right hook flush across her face that sends her stumbling into the ropes. Yvonne follows up with a big left hook and a quick right to the tummy that doubles George over, but is unable to follow up any further as the bell rings. Round 2 goes to Yvonne.

R3: Melissa comes out this round, eyes narrowed, determined not to play defense as she needs to counteract those jabs of Yvonne. Melissa comes out swinging, trying to fight right through Yvonne's punches, which are slamming into her shoulders and ribs. Melissa's early aggressiveness pays off, though not without a price, but does connect with a stiff right uppercut that snaps Yvonne's headback and just pursuing with sharp jabs and hooks towards Yvonne's face. Yvonne dazed, but stepping backwards to weather the storm as she brings her gloves upwards protectively. Melissa stepping forward, emboldened by her early success, just keeping her gloves flying towards Yvonne's arms, shoulders and head. Yvonne keeping up her defense, backed up against the ropes and displaying good footwork again to switch away from the ropes. Re-establishing her offense behind that jab, backing up Melissa slightly as Melissa keeps firing away, but is touched up by a few jabs that hammer at her shoulders and face from Yvonne's gloves. Yvonne able to withstand the furious assault in round 3, but Melissa does take the round narrowly.

R4: Melissa comes forward to try to surge off of the ropes for a renewed assault, but Yvonne has no intention of letting that happen. Melissa runs right into Yvonne's jabs as Yvonne comes forward to slam in with left and right hands to bully Melissa back into the ropes. Melissa tries to push off of the ropes, not wanting to be smothered, launching some hooks of her own that momentarily allow her daylight. But, Yvonne keeps up her stance and attack, forcing Melissa to go earmuff as she finds herself under attack with the left jabs towards tummy and those right hooks just driving in overhand to clap against Melissa's cheek. Melissa manages to keep her gloves upwards, but a sudden left jab catches her clean at her belly button. Doubling over, Melissa is caught flush with a right overhand jab that smacks in hard to whip her head to the side. Melissa falls to her knees, then shaking her head, she pitches over perpendicular to the ropes. Yvonne steps backwards, looking down at Melissa, who is unable to get up. That's it – Yvonne Strahovski takes the match via KO4!

After: It's a hard hitting match between the two and Yvonne takes a moment to celebrate before helping Melissa up to her feet. The two exchange hugs and a little bit of trash-talking, playfully. After the two of them clean up, the two of them and their respective entourages head over to Bonderee National Park to relax after a successful start to Yvonne's ACBA tour.
