Internet slams Jake Paul after Chavez Jr win: Fans call fight ‘staged', say he's turning boxing into a circus
Jake Paul may have added another win to his record, but the internet isn't celebrating. After defeating former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr by unanimous decision on Saturday, the YouTuber-turned-boxer is once again facing criticism, with fans calling the bout 'staged' and accusing him of turning professional boxing into a mockery. Despite the win, many are claiming that Paul's rise is doing more harm than good for the sport's credibility. The fight lacked fire, but Jake Paul kept control The fight, which took place at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, was billed as Paul's toughest test yet. Chavez Jr, a former WBC middleweight champion and son of a boxing legend, had nothing to lose stepping into the ring. Paul started strong, landing jabs and clean shots to the body while Chavez Jr barely responded through the early rounds. It wasn't until round three that the Mexican fighter threw any real punches, but even then, Paul remained in control. By the final bell, Paul had cruised to victory on the judges' scorecards with a wide margin: 97-93, 98-92, and 99-91. Booed in the arena, Paul fires back at critics Despite the win, Paul was met with boos throughout the fight as chorus that only got louder when the decision was announced. He didn't hold back in his post-fight reaction. 'All the boos are words, and actions speak louder than words, so you can shut the f*** up,' he shouted, before adding, 'That was easy work. I only got hit ten times. I'm him.' Jake Paul gets booed after 'defeating' another aging fighter Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. by unanimous decision. Typical Jewish SCAMMER making easy money with fixed results. The 28-year-old praised Chavez Jr, 38, as a warrior but insisted that he had dominated the fight and would continue taking on anyone, anywhere. Fans call the fight 'a circus' and question its legitimacy Fans, however, weren't convinced. Social media has been flooded with criticism, with many suggesting the fight looked scripted and one-sided from the start. Several users pointed out that Paul continues to fight aging or inactive opponents, calling on him to finally face someone in his own weight class and age bracket. People saying 'Jake Paul has been great for boxing he's brought a new audience' If your child or teenager first experience with boxing is Jake Paul fighting old people then that's insane damage to your brand Chavez Jr had to have been paid off for this fight against Jake Paul because goddamn he not throwing any punches at all and we already into round 4 😭😭 Me watching Jake Paul win another fight against an old man, drug addict, or below average fighter Dudes really watching a Jake Paul fight another washed boxer BREAKING: I had a better fight with Jake Paul on Thursday than the unwatchable farce that took place tonight. The guy's lining his pockets with buckets of $$$$ - but he's killing boxing with this boring staged bullsh*t against older fighters way past their prime. The backlash follows his previous high-profile fight against 58-year-old Mike Tyson, which streamed live on Netflix and was widely seen as more spectacle than sport. With this latest win, critics say Paul is less focused on boxing credibility and more on building his personal brand — even if it means turning the sport into what some are calling a "celebrity circus."

Jake Paul Dominates Chavez In Whitewash; Eyes Bigger Fights in Boxing Career
Jake Paul defeated Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in a 10-round cruiserweight bout by unanimous decision. Paul aims for tougher opponents next. YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul made light work of former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on Saturday night, cruising to a unanimous decision win in their 10-round cruiserweight bout in California. Paul, 28, controlled the fight from the opening bell, using superior speed and power to overwhelm the 39-year-old Mexican veteran. The judges at ringside scored the fight 99-91, 98-92, and 97-93 — all in favor of Paul, who extended his professional record in what has become a headline-grabbing boxing career. The fight marked Paul's first outing since his controversial exhibition with 58-year-old Mike Tyson last November. While that bout drew mixed reviews, Paul's performance on Saturday was clinical and decisive. Outclassed from the Start Chavez Jr., son of Mexican boxing legend Julio Cesar Chavez, struggled to offer any meaningful resistance. The former middleweight world champion failed to land a single punch in the opening round—a trend that continued throughout the fight. Despite entering the ring with 63 professional bouts under his belt, Chavez Jr. appeared sluggish and out of sync, unable to keep pace with Paul's tempo or land significant offense. By the final bell, the result was never in doubt. 'It was flawless," Paul said afterward on DAZN. 'I think I only got hit ten times. Really, he just survived, and I thought I did great, going 10 rounds against a former world champion who has never been stopped." Big Payday, Bigger Ambitions Although Paul received a guaranteed purse of around $300,000 for the bout, total earnings from pay-per-view revenue and sponsorship deals are expected to land in the $8–10 million range. By contrast, he reportedly earned around $40 million from his Tyson event, which streamed on Netflix. Following his win, Paul wasted no time in looking ahead to potential high-profile opponents. 'I want tougher fighters. I want to be world champion," Paul said. 'Zurdo looked slow as shit tonight. That'd be easy work, too. 'Badou Jack. I want everybody. Anthony Joshua, Gervonta (Davis). And Tommy (Fury), stop running." Paul emphasized that he has no plans to slow down and wants to stay active as he continues to build credibility in the boxing world. 'As soon as possible," he said when asked about his return. 'I'm staying active, I'm fighting everybody. You've already seen my face hella. Get used to seeing it more."
