At last night's event, which took place in parallel with the UFC 317 event, one boxing match in particular attracted attention. It is a fight between 27-year-old Jake Paul and former champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Many were skeptical before the match itself, but the most famous boxer from the YouTube scene managed to exceed expectations once again.
Jake Paul is a controversial figure, with many boxing fans who are not satisfied with his appearance in the world of this sport. Some ask questions: Where did Paul come from in this sport, but he has already shown that he has a wide range of qualities.
A unanimous win without too much drama
UFC 317 offered a lot, but this boxing fight was followed with great attention. PAUL DEFEATED THE FORMER CHAMPION BY UNANIMOUS DECISION (99-91, 97-93, 98-92) AND THEREFORE PROVED THAT HE CAN KEEP UP WITH THE EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS. From the very beginning, Jake seemed like someone with a clear strategy. He showed more accurate shots, better condition and more focus from round to round.
On the other hand, the Mexican opponent was passive. His father, the legendary Julio Cesar Chavez, even got up from his chair in the third round and shouted: “Move, son!” However, there was no response. Only in the ninth round did the former champion show some energy, delivering a few hard body shots and a few left hooks. But that was short-lived. He returned to his old pace in the next round.
In the end, Jake came to his 12th professional victory without any major problems. This match will not remain etched in the memory of many, but it is worth mentioning one noble gesture. After the fight, Paul said: "I call on all fans to pray for Ben Askren. He is fighting a serious illness. He needs a lung transplant. Let's help him as much as we can."
