Results: BBU; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: Tahan Lew-Fatt's impressive career start has caught the attention of several boxing experts & fellow fighters, one of them being none other than Olympia Valance who is widely considered the top ACB bantamweight prospect around. Of course there's Miranda Kerr currently holding onto the ACB title but Green & Gold's Sarah Cumming feels like this very fight could actually serve as the official eliminator allthough there's no clear word from the Downunder Boxing camp so far.

Fight takes place in Darwin, Northern Territory where the latest round of Repco V8 Supercars is in action over the weekend at the Hidden Valley Raceway. This also happens to be Tahan's home town so she's supported not just by her partner's Penrite Oils team but basically the entire local community.

Olympia remains unfazed by the surroundings though: "Look, I know this is Tahan's backyard but if you're the BEST fighter in the damn country - that's ME - then you have to win those fights on the road. Tahan beat some BronzedOz old-timers and thinks she's a player now? Blasphemy! She's punching way above her weight and it's my job to end this silly media hype!"

Meanwhile Tahan claims she didn't waste any second by attending the pitlane parties overnight and vows to smash Olympia into pieces: "I waited long enough to get my chance. I'm like one win away from really big things! I know Miranda Kerr is out there watching! I know Bonnie Sveen wants to move up the weight division in order to stop me! This is MY time to shine so let's see what Olympia and her trashy sister came up with, shall we?"

Tahan Lew-Fatt wears a red bikini set & silver gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a curled ponytail. Olympia Valance wears a brown bikini set & red gloves. Long dark brown hair wrapped in a loose bun at the back of her head. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the bantamweight division.

Round 1:
Tahan jumps into a hectic jabbing attack that forces Olympia backwards once she eats a couple of nasty shots straight up the middle. The home favorite lights up the action when she lands another huge bomb on Valance's temple and spins her onto the ropes where more nasty punches dissect the Melbourne native's guard. Ugh! Olympia slumps on her heels when she eats a double combo on the nose and Tahan RIPS a left cross on the ear to SEND VALANCE DOWN FOR THE COUNT!!! Shocking turn of events after just one minute as the Darwin crowd errupts in joy. Olympia blinks frantically during the otherwise slowish count but she gets up at seven and takes a deep look at Taryn Terrell and her sister Holly in the Girls Friday corner. Meanwhile Tahan jumps into another speedy attack and keeps the younger brunette pinned in the corner for remainder of the round alas she just can't land another epic series anymore and gets clinched late as Olympia gets extremely desperate just to survive the opener!

Round 2:
More slugging prowess from the Darwin brunette who picks Olympia off up the middle and snaps her head back repeatedly. Valance has to bounce back in equally ruthless fashion whether she likes it or not and she actually lands some good shots into Lew-Fatt's face to finally halt her charge. Tahan switches low to resume her command and punishes Olympia's midsection before a clash of heads stalls the action for good. Olympia flashes elite footwork to enforce a mid-range struggle thereafter and this is how she neutralizes Tahan's dominance as the older brunette struggles to connect with her efforts and the fight descends into a single-punch exchange that carries little value during the final minute.

Round 3:
Tahan keeps coming at the Melbourne brunette and lands more shots into her face but gets blasted on the body as Valance seeks proper response. She leans onto the local favorite and tags her with a stray head-butt before she cracks a rare uppercut drive on the rack to assume control in the proverbial phone booth. She works hard leather on the chest and dumps Lew-Fatt into loud spasms come the second minute before she blasts her on the ear with a looping change-up. Ugh! Tahan loses her balance and gets pummelled back to the ropes as Olympia smashes strikes into her face; she lands a booming harpoon around the elbows to cripple the older woman into spasms and cleans up more midriff to close out the round.

Round 4:
Olympia fires a quick series downstairs and beats Tahan for a swift overhand as she begins to dominate the phone booth exchanges by the numbers. The Penrite Oils crew keeps the big support but it also forces Tahan to stay in the slugging lane even though she begins to leak too many punches according to Sarah Cumming's opinion. Olympia remains the more agile of the two brunettes and blocks off a clinching effort as Lew-Fatt blows a tyre in the second minute and looks a little battled-weary all of the sudden. Meanwhile Valance plugs her in the guts and drives back onto the ropes where she resumes the uppercut pounce and rocks Tahan's breasts to slump her into loud spasms at the bell.

Round 5:
Another slugging excahnge early in the fifth; Tahan powers ahead with a chin-checking double but Olympia fires back over the top and cuts the fellow brunette above her left eye before driving another piledriver into her chest. Ugh! Tahan wobbles forward with a whimper and bounces off Valance's elbow before the Melbourne native silences the Darwin audience when she SMOKES Lew-Fatt on the chin. Ugh! Tahan goes numb upon impact and drops her mitts just so Olympia blasts another cruel hook on the nose TO SEND THE OLDER BRUNETTE CRASHING DOWN ON HER BACK!!! Uh-oh!!! Olympia shouts back at the Penrite Oils crew which delays the count and maybe saves Tahan from a complete disaster. She eventually gets up at eight but looks rattled and gets blitzed back to the turnbuckle as Olympia seeks the ultimate finish. She clobbers the ailing foe from both flanks but just can't blow her away in time and gets pulled back at the bell amid loud jeers from the Darwin fans. Ugh! Sarah Cumming begins to wonder if Tahan can recover from this poor round but...

Round 6:
...she struggles to do so as Olympia comes crashing down on her early in the sixth. She hauls in several quick hooks upstairs as Lew-Fatt tries to stay back in mid-distance only for the younger brunette to dominate the footwork department and blast the local favorite butt-in-ropes before too long. She drops the slugging hammer up the middle and Tahan tries to respond... both women exchange vicious blows but Olympia stays on top of her foe and renders her numb when she tags both temples before another wicked hook nails Lew-Fatt on the ear. Ugh! Tahan wobbles forward with eyes half-closed and Olympia SMOKES her with one brutal uppercut on the jaw too many. Tahan jack-knifes to her knees and faceplants at Olympia's feet moments later. And that should do it! The count is swiftly waved off at six when it becomes clear Tahan just can't recover from this one anymore. KO6 Olympia Valance in come-from-behind fashion!!!

AFTER: "Okay, that should fookin' do it! I want Miranda Kerr next!", Olympia is quick to set her sights on the reigning ACB bantamweight champion while Sarah Cumming suggests Tahan should welcome Bonnie Sveen to 120 lbs category instead. When Lew-Fatt is finally brought to her senses she agrees with the Green & Gold pundit and hopes to secure a rematch with Olympia one way or another: "Okay, so you can't win them all. Big deal. I know I can hurt this cow and she got lucky with some of these jug shots. But I'll be ready for her again! If she thinks this is "one & done" kind of a match-up then she's totally wrong! Stay safe for now, bytch!"

Official Result: Olympia Valance def. Tahan Lew-Fatt KO6.
