At the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, heavy underdog WBC light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal (26-1, 16KOs) won an upset eleven round technical decision over previously undefeated and pound for pound ranked Chad Dawson (29-1, 17KOs). Pascal added Dawson's IBO title to his waist. The scores were 108-101, 106-103 and 106-103, all for Pascal.

Pascal was landing the hard right hand all night. The punch staggered Dawson several times during the fight.

A clash of heads in the eleventh round sent the fight to the scorecards. Dawson's right eye was damaged bad and the ringside doctor stopped the contest after examining the wound.
