At the weigh-ins, Camacho weighed in at 158 pounds, 2 pounds over the allotted non-title lightweight limit of 156 pounds. The bout proceeded as a catchweight and Camacho was fined 20 percent of his purse which went to Jaynes.[13] Jaynes won the fight via knockout in the first round.[14][15] This win earned him the Performance of the Night award.[16][17]
