Jonas was "light years ahead" in experience compared to Laurieton's Shelley Watts.
Commentators remarked about Shelley's "inexperience" coming from a "sleepy holiday hamlet of Port Macquarie". They almost got it right....
As Shelley's fitness, energy and passion burst from the sound of the bell, the commentators changed their tune, surprised by her power versus her highly qualified opponent.
"Nothing that Jonas has done has really impressed her," said one commentator.
"Jonas isn't being allowed to find space. Nothing is unanswered. Terrific energy level from Watts."
Jonas is a former Olympian and had strong support in the crowd.
Shelley lost the first round, then tied it up in the second. She won the third. In the fourth Jonas stepped up her game. But it wasn't enough.
"Fire has been answered with fire," commentators enthused.
Her next fight will be against Isabelle Ratna from Mauritius on Thursday at 1.15am.
In the pool, James Magnussen picked up a bronze and a silver medal on the final night of competition.
His bronze came in the in the 50m freestyle final.
Magnussen produced a powerful swim to finish just 0.18 seconds behind England's Ben Proud and Aussie teammate Cameron McEvoy.
But it was in the 4 x 100m Medley relay final that Magnussen almost produced a miracle.
Diving in for the final leg well behind, Magnussen swam his heart out to all but mow down Great Britain and get Australia a silver medal.
It took his total Commonwealth Games medal haul to two gold, one silver and one bronze.
Port Macquarie's own will come home a hero once again.
