Selective ACK ON / OFF does not have any impact ?

*Hi Guys,*
This is my first post, and it's so nice to be able to join this community so
please excuse me if I make any mistake.
I'm doing a capture with SACK ON and with SACK OFF, my understanding is with
SACK OFF, the server will have to retransmit the packet from the point of
packet lost. However what I see is the server does not retransmit the packet
at all and just continuing with the rest of the data (please see the TCP
Trace screenshot attached). While for SACK ON, everything went well as the
theory.

*SACK OFF: (I removed some column for easier viewing)*

Ack=144889 Win=32768 Len=0

My question is, packet no.193 is the Dup ACK and no.194 is the TCP
retransmission, but why no.195 does not do a TCP retransmission of 114229
(which is the next seq.) but go to 137589 (no 195)instead ?  Am I missing
something here ?  Thanks/
