Chad Dawson,loses title fight to Pascal.








Chad Dawson entered the ring undefeated and with the words "Champion Breed" shaved into his head on Saturday night, but left a loser, beaten by Canadian Jean Pascal in one of the year's biggest upsets.
Pascal won by unanimous technical decision at the Bell Centre in Montreal to retain his WBC light heavyweight title in a bout that was halted after Dawson, who entered the fight as a 4-1 favorite, suffered a gruesome cut over his left eye from an accidental head butt in the 11th round.

The result is not without controversy, though. Pascal (26-1, 16 KOs) was badly hurt in the 11th round and seemed to be in trouble when the head butt occurred. Dawson immediately began gushing blood and the ringside doctor was called to examine the cut. He determined that Dawson (29-1, 17 KOs) could not continue.
