“Stevie Wonder called, and is even outraged!”–Buddy Ruffin, JR., Coffeyville, KS – President of Boxing Judges who are BLIND & cannot judge, need to be fired Fan Club (20,225,145 members and we are going to do something about this horrible judging that keeps happening in boxing)

In the first bout on the HBO World Championship Boxing telecast, former light heavyweight world champion Jean Pascal (30-3-1, 17 KOs) faced undefeated Cuban Yuniesky Gonzalez (16-1, 12 KOs) in ten rounds of light heavyweight action. Gonzalez was the aggressor from the first bell. Pacal returned fire with a flurry of punches in the second that seemed to stun Gonzalez. Yuniesky continued his fierce attack on Pascal in the fourth but the former champ continued to counter with equally brutal punches. Pascal opened the sixth round with a couple of hard shots. Both men looked fatigued in the last few rounds but continued to trade big shots. At the end of the brutal battle many unofficial scorecards had Gonzalez with the win, however, all three official judges scored the bout 96-94 in favor of the former champion, Jean Pascal, for the win by unanimous decision.

Compubox stats showed that both fighters landed around the same number of punches (154 connected for Pascal vs. 163 for Gonzalez), but Gonzalez was the busier man (632 punches thrown vs. 397 for Pascal).   Pascal said, “I was controlling the fight. The fight was following the exact rhythm that I wanted. It was a great fight; very close. I am glad to give the fans another candidate for fight of the year because I think it was.

I am going to continue fight best opposition and give a great performance because that is what I do. I am the best.” Gonzalez believed he pulled off the upset. He said, “I am so sad. I was the real fighter. That was taken from me. He did not win, I did. I am the real winner.”
