Bout Summary

Pavlik dominated the action against the overmatched Jaco, who aside from a few jabs mostly moved around the ring and did not appear he was looking to take many punches before calling it an evening. A short left hook put Jaco down to a knee at 2:16 of the opening round. He got to his feet at the count of eight. In Round 2, a left hook put Jaco down on his backside at 0:22. He used the ropes to get to his feet at the count of four, but following the mandatory eight-count, the referee waved an end to the bout.
