I guess you have access to a different version of BoxRec than I do. As I understand it, the loss to Yaoita was a non-title 10-round overweight match. The 13-round kayo was for the title, so Perez's title reign was continuous. For back-up, you might consult a Ring Record Book. My 1972 Ring Record Book supports the version of BoxRec to which I have access. I am sure all the Ring record books would be the same.
I remember that. I think it was Al Bernstein interviewing him and Carbajal said it when he was watching back the replay of knocking out Gonzalez. And Bernstein sort of corrected him 'Well, he had heart' and Carbajal said something like 'yeah, just not at that point'.
Okay, have it your way. Perez was undoubtedly a paper champion just like any other champion who ever lost a non-title fight. By the way, the Box Rec link to which I have been referring in regard to Perez's record is https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/9037

Al, I suggest that instead of treating the address I provided to you as a link, copy it and then paste it to your address bar at the top of the page on your computer. Then click the address bar. The BoxRec Pascual Perez boxing record page will appear. This record will not include information like weights, rounds, or title fights. Then sign up as a BoxRec member so you can log in. After you have logged in, a more complete record of Perez will appear. Scroll down to the years from 1954 through 1960, and you will see his title fights described in his record. If this doesn't work, don't ask me why. I won't be able to help you any further. Good luck!!
You are dealing with a man who cannot ever be wrong ,no matter how many ,many times his is shown to be so,he will not admit it. This is a guy who believes Laszlo Papp is an all time top ten middleweight and Artur Grigorian was a great champion,there is no point engaging with him as many have discovered and now ignore him In 2002 The Ring magazine published its 80 greatest fighters of the last 80 years Perez came in at 36th one place in front of Miguel Canto. https://www.liveabout.com/ring-magazine-fighter-rankings-4153939
