Impact Pavlovich got off to a slower start and fought his surging opponent to relatively even terms in Round 1, but the former title contender got stronger as the fight went on, proving to be the better man when it was all said and done. He was the fresher fighter late, out-landing WCA 30-to-14 in Round 3. It would have been nice to see Pavlovich seek the finish given he seemed to have his opponent compromised on a few occasions, but Pavlovich intelligently cruised to what would be an easy decision for the judges. He's now won two in a row and could see title-implicating fights in the near future.
