Jean Pascal beat the betting favourite Chad Dawson on points Saturday night after the fight was stopped in the 11th and retained his WBC light heavyweight title at the Bell Centre(Montreal, Canada).The fight was halted after an accidental clash of heads opened a deep cut above Dawson's right eye and prevented the American from continuing.It went to the scorecards, and Pascal (26-1) got the win over Dawson (29-1) when the judges turned in two cards of 106-103 and another of 108-101.
There was a rematch clause in the fight contract that surely will be exercised
