Jean Pascal battled to a unanimous decision on Friday in a hard-fought and at times thrilling victory over Aleksy Kuziemski at Montreal's Bell Centre, knocking his opponent down twice en route to scores of 100-88 and twice 98-90 in his first return to the ring in 19 months to set up a possible showdown with former foe and reigning 175-pound champion Chad Dawson. Although the scores suggest a win of great ease for the former light heavyweight champion, the bout on a freezing Montreal night was anything but as Pascal (27-2-1, 16 KO) fought the majority of the bout with an unusable and visibly painful left arm, having sustained the injury in the unlikeliest of circumstances during the fourth round.
