Jones was having the better of it in the opening half of the 1st round, landing several hooks inside. Fitzpatrick stepped back and landed a nice right hand to Jones head, that didn't appear to hurt him. Jones responded by landing a terrific hook to Fitzpatrick's chin that sent him to the canvas. Fitzpatrick was badly dazed when he rose, and he was shortly thereafter, put down for another left hook, and referee Callahan waved off the bout.
Odds: Fitzpatrick 2.5-to-1 favorite
