Jake Paul Keeps Surprising: Victory Against Julio C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez Jr.<\/h2>\n\n\nIn yet another demonstration of his unexpected boxing career, Jake Paul secured a unanimous decision victory against former WBC middleweight world champion Julio C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez Jr.\n\nPaul achieved his most significant triumph to date against a former world champion, although the latter was far from his best. The fight, which took place at the Honda Center, had a crowd mostly in favor of Ch\u00e1vez, with scorecards of 99-91, 97-93 and 98-92.\n\nPaul, aware of his role as the antagonist, entered the ring with the song “Lean Like a Cholo” by the rapper Down AKA Kilo and wearing a robe with the colors of the Mexican flag. Ch\u00e1vez, on the other hand, was received as a hero, taking advantage of the renown of his last name and the legend of his father.\n\nDespite the public’s support, Ch\u00e1vez’s performance was discreet for most of the fight. Only in the last rounds, when he was already at a disadvantage on the scorecards, did the Mexican boxer show more energy.\n\nPaul (12-1, 7 KOs) dominated much of the fight, using his jab against a lackluster Ch\u00e1vez, who spent the first rounds chasing the influencer-turned-boxer without throwing punches.\n\n\n

Around the middle of the fight, Paul began to accompany his jab with his right hand and incorporated an uppercut into his offense. Ch\u00e1vez (54-7-1, 34 KOs) was never put in danger, but seemed to settle for following his opponent around the ring, waiting for a decisive blow that never came.<\/p>\n\n\nCh\u00e1vez reacted in the last two rounds, connecting strong blows to a Paul who showed signs of fatigue. Paul, however, withstood the onslaught and continued throwing punches until the end.\n\nWith this victory, Paul is getting closer to his dream of competing for a world title, and he made his intentions clear after the fight.\n\n\n

I want tougher rivals and I want to be world champion. ‘Zurdo’ (Ram\u00edrez) looked slow tonight. That’s easy work. I want Badou Jack. Tommy Fury can also fight me. Stop running from me, Tommy.<\/p>\n\nJake Paul<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n

“Lefty” Ramirez Retains His Titles<\/h2>\n\nIn the co-stellar event, Gilberto “Zurdo” Ram\u00edrez (48-1, 30 KOs) retained his WBA and WBO cruiserweight titles, defeating Yuniel Dorticos (27-3, 25 KOs) by unanimous decision.\n\nThe judges scored the fight 115-112, 115-112, and 117-110.\n\nRamirez had an uncertain start, showing slowness and allowing Dorticos to corner him and throw punches to the head and body. “Lefty” reacted in the final rounds, taking control of the center of the ring and combining punches to the head and body. Dorticos focused on working the body, but several of his punches were low. This cost him a point in the tenth round, with the fight still in play.\n\nBy then, Ram\u00edrez had gained momentum and closed the second half of the fight strongly, dominating the center of the ring and initiating his offense. Neither boxer was in danger of being knocked out, but “Zurdo” will return to Mexico with his titles after a solid performance.\n\nRam\u00edrez has won four consecutive fights since he lost the light heavyweight title to Dmitry Bivol in 2022.\n\nAlthough Paul has his sights set on a fight with Ram\u00edrez, the Mexican champion is looking for a match with the undefeated IBF champion, Jai Opetaia.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
