Anaheim, California – the unlikely height of Jake Paul by boxing continued to unanimous victory towards the former medium scale master WBC Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. On Saturday evening.
Paul probably raised his greatest win with the former world champion, although the one who was a decade removed from his main years, before the sold-saved pro-chaveza in the Honda Center with a result of 99-91, 97-93 and 98-92.
“He is a tough guy,” said Paul. “He was never detained and is a Mexican warrior. I respect Mexican warriors. I respect Mexico, but I am also a warrior and I left tonight.”
Although this was not similar to the atmosphere of the hit Paweł’s fight with Mike Tyson in November at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, energy at the Honda Center was on a par with many fights for the championship. Born in Cleveland, but currently living in Puerto Rico, Paul gave being an enemy in a hostile territory, going to “Lean Like a Cholo” rapper Down aak Kilo and wore a robe with the colors of the Mexican flag. Chavez entered the ring in welcoming the hero in the strength of the surname, which he shares with his legendary father.
But during the last decade of younger life Chavez, the former master was in rehabilitation and comes out of rehabilitation and has a 6-5 record in the ring. His checkered career was full of miss and discouraging performances. He entered the Saturday fight seemingly in the best form, which he had been for years, but his effort did not translate in the ring.
Although the energy of the crowd was behind Chavez, he was not enough to ensure pleasure from the crowd. Instead, Chavez was listless for most of the fight, satisfied with JABS hit and offering nothing in return. Only in the last rounds, when he was behind the results cards, Chavez came to life.
Paul (12-1, 7 KO) controlled enormous parts of the fight against his stab against the lackluster Chavez, who spent the early rounds after the influencer turned around the ring without releasing his hand. Paweł landed 140 out of 482 blows (29%), and most of the crime comes from his stab with 65 out of 302 (21.5%) of landing during a 10-round fight.
“It was flawless,” said Paul. “I think I was only hit 10 times. He just survived and thought that I did great. Walking 10 rounds against the former world champion who was never stopped. He is there with Canelo, all these guys and I embarrassed him.”
Chavez landed over 10 blows, but the effort was still fatal for the former medium weight master. 39 -year -old Chavez landed only 61 out of 154 stamps (39.6%) with nine road blows in the first five rounds.
In the middle rounds, Paweł began to put his right hand for a stab and pulled into his crime. Chavez (54-7-1, 34 KO) was never injured, but he was seemingly pleased with following the opponent around the ring and hoped that he had landed a changing game that never materialized.
Chavez finally came to life in the last two rounds and landed on tough hooks on the disappearing Paweł. Paweł’s recognition, he survived the behind schedule storm and continued the blow to the last bell.
“I thought I lost the first five rounds, so I tried to win the last rounds,” said Chávez, who fought only once since 2021. “There is a mighty, good boxer [for] The first three or four rounds. Then I felt he was tired. I don’t think he is ready for masters, but he is a good warrior. “
With victory, Paul is approaching his dream of a challenge for the world championship title and gave his intentions after victory.
“I want more hard warriors and I want to be a world champion,” said Paul. “” Zurdo ” [Ramirez] He looked ponderous tonight. It’s an basic job. I want Badou Jack. Tommy Fury can also get it. Stop from me, Tommy. “
Daniel Dubois blasted Fabio Wardley out inside two rounds to retain his WBO world heavyweight championship, making easy work of the Ipswich man five months on from their eleven-round war.
In their first meeting, Wardley put Dubois down inside ten seconds. Tonight, in London, ‘DDD’ returned the favour, dropping Wardley for the first time in his career not long after the opening bell.
Though Dubois remained composed for the duration of the first round, he still dished out punishment. In the second, the writing was on the wall, with Wardley looking far from the fighter he did back in May.
After more brutal barrages from Dubois, who has an argument as the biggest puncher in world boxing, trainer Ben Davison threw in the towelsaving Wardley from any unnecessary punishment but cementing his second loss to the Londoner.
Post-fight, the fan-favourite former champion took the defeat well.
“It’s never fun to lose, but it is what it is. The game is the game. I’ve always thrown myself in with the best competitors out there, the toughest, biggest, hardest, meanest guys around. There’s no shame in a loss when you’re testing yourself against the best.”
“It just didn’t work for me tonight. I wasn’t clicking in the same way, and that’s only down to me. It’s a credit to Daniel and how well he’s prepared. Boxing is a game of fine margins, it can be over in a round or two, or you can go into a big old war like last time. I didn’t get sparked out, so there’s a little bit of pride to be taken in there.”
Asked if he felt, in hindsight, he took the rematch too soon, Wardley said no, before confirming that he will fight on.
“No, not in the slightest. I didn’t execute the game plan properly tonight, that was all … We’ll go back to the drawing board as a team. Daniel’s a testament to coming up short and coming again, and I’ll be looking to do the exact same thing.”
Wardley’s story is already a fairy tale, and his fans will continue to back him as he continues. However, as pointed out by many former pros already, those around him must consider any next steps carefully.
As for Dubois, he faced off with Filip Hrgovic post-fight. He beat the Croatian back in 2024 in a non-title bout, but now that both men hold major belts, a unification rematch becomes intriguing.
