Gonzalez landed just 9 more punches according to CompuBox.
I thought Pascal got the better of most exchanges.
Going backwards doesn't mean you're losing.

It is called boxing, but when your opponent is landing the more telling blows, landing more and throwing more, then you typically lose rounds. Fact.
I thought Pascal landed the more significant blows.
I wouldn't call landing nine more punches over the course of 10 rounds that significant either. That's less than one more punch per round landed.
However, Gonzalez did throw significantly more punches, which means he missed significantly more than Pascal did.
Not making a case for Pascal winning, I thought a draw was fair, and have no problem with Gonzalez being the winner. It wasn't a robbery though.
If a fighter wins 2 rounds out of 10 and most of the people watching the fight have the guy who won most of the rounds winning the fight, then you have to call it a robbery. It simply was not a close fight. I don't think I have seen anyone except the judges say that Pascal won the fight. It was a complete City of London.
You are the only person i've seen score just two rounds for Pascal. The majority have scored rounds for Pascal that you didn't.
Which means...
Either you were biased against Pascal?
Your judgement is suspect?
Pascal's body language at the end of the rounds and the end of the fight said it all.
It's not as if he started crying or anything 😀 Pascal from midway was landing the more solid shots for sure.
It was a close fight and in no way the landslide win/robbery people are saying.
