Paul’s Dominant Performance Against a Boxing Legend’s Son

Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) entered the ring as the underdog against Chávez Jr. (54-7-2), the most accomplished opponent of his career. However, the fight quickly turned one-sided as Chávez Jr. appeared hesitant, barely throwing punches until the later rounds.

Early Control: Paul dictated the pace, landing crisp jabs and body shots while Chávez Jr. struggled to mount any offense.


Late Surge from Chávez: The Mexican fighter finally came alive in the ninth round, landing a few sharp combinations, but it was too little, too late.


Judges’ Scorecards: The bout was scored 99-91, 98-92, and 97-93 in Paul’s favor, with The Associated Press also scoring it 97-93 for the YouTuber-turned-boxer.

 
"Shut the F* Up!" – Paul’s Fiery Response to the Booing Crowd

The Anaheim crowd, heavily favoring Chávez Jr., erupted in boos after the final bell. Unfazed, Paul grabbed the mic and delivered an unfiltered response:

"All the boos are words, and actions speak louder than words, so y’all can shut the f* up! I’m hip, I’m really hip—I just beat your boy’s a, easy work. Year five, wait till I get going even more, motherf*s!".

His defiant celebration—jumping on the ropes and mocking the crowd—further cemented his reputation as one of boxing’s most polarizing figures.

 
Chávez Jr.’s Post-Fight Admission: "He’s Strong, But Not Ready for Champions"

Despite the loss, Chávez Jr. gave Paul credit, stating:

"He’s strong, a good boxer for the first three or four rounds. After that, I felt he was tired. I don’t think he’s ready for the champions, but he’s a good fighter."

This echoes past criticisms that Paul has yet to face an active, elite-level boxer—his only loss came against Tommy Fury in 2023.
 

What’s Next for Jake Paul?

Paul wasted no time calling out bigger names, including:

Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (current cruiserweight champion)

Badou Jack (WBC titleholder)

Even Canelo Álvarez and Gervonta Davis—despite the massive weight differences.

With the WBA and WBC hinting at ranking him, a world title shot may not be far off—though boxing purists remain skeptical.

 
Final Thoughts: A Win That Raises More Questions

While Paul’s victory solidifies his place in combat sports, the debate continues: 
✔ Has he improved enough to face top-tier boxers?
✔ Or is he still benefiting from carefully selected opponents?

One thing is certain: Love him or hate him, Jake Paul knows how to stay in the headlines.
