Just three months ago Jimmie was knocked out in the first round by Moraes, but it was surprising to see him match up to the extremely fast speed of Dodson. Jimmie constantly dished out inside leg kicks that eventually slowed down the speed of the Magician. At times his leg kicks caused problems to Dodson who had to take some time out. Both these fighters exchanged significant strikes but could not do much damage. It was the volumes of strikes from Jimmie that led him to lead the Judges scorecard who handed him a unanimous victory.
