**thetrueassassin rolled a random image posted in comment #507 at Science! ** Except he beat her when they first met. When he wasn't even trying to. She might have got up afterward but she couldn't hear him anyways. He's too light on his feet for her to sense so she'd get her ass handed to her in a real fight.

good point you are right.)

He air bended, she didn't know he was an air bender at the time and he didn't beat her in a fight, he knocked her out of a ring.

Doesn't negate the fact that he's too light on his feet for her to sense properly. She's good but she relies on being able to sense what her opponents are doing. Easy against other earthbenders but against an airbender she's at a large disadvantage.
