After two and a half years of inactivity, the 39-year-old former two-time world champion Jean Pascal (36-6-1, 20 KOs) defeated the previously undefeated IBF No. 1 light heavyweight Fanlong Meng (17-1, 10 KOs) by unanimous decision in the main event of the evening on ProBox TV in Plant City, Florida.
The taller Maine hit cleanly for the first three rounds. But in the fourth round, Pascal increased the pressure, and his wild aggression began to show in the fifth round. Pascal sent Maine to the floor at the end of the ninth round and confidently spent the end of the fight. Judging scores: 115-112, 114-113 and 116-111.
