Round one
A touch of gloves and this bout between two huge heavyweights is underway. Lewis opens with his low leg kick. Pavlovich advancing. Lewis sitting back and waiting for his shot. They’re throwing now. Both guys trading with huge power. But it’s Pavlovich all over Lewis at this point. He lands a big right hand, and Lewis loses his balance and falls face first. As he starts to get back to his feet, referee Dan Miragliotta stops the fight. Lewis was on his way back to his feet.
Lewis was definitely hurt, but the stoppage seemed a little too early. An unfortunate ending to the fight but an impressive effort by Pavlovich nonetheless.
Official Result: Sergei Pavlovich def. Derrick Lewis via TKO (punches) – R1
