Jones appeared to have the better of the first two rounds, as Vaughn struggled to get started. Starting with the 3rd round, Vaughn set the pace, as Jones was unable to match Vaughn's speeed. Vaughn was effective at keeping Jones away with a pesky jab, that he mixed with a body attack. In the 8th round, the best round of the fight, Vaughn nearly floored Jones. In the 9th round Vaughn landed a right and left to the face, spun Jones around, and pushed him to the canvas.
