Jake Paul beats Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. at Honda Center

Jake Paul shot a list of names he wants to fight after defeating Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. On Saturday evening at the Honda Center.

Paul broke the gate record for this place when he defeated the faded Chavez at points to secure the WBA and WBC ranking.

Although he will face face to face with the WBA Cruiser champion Gilberto Ramirez, WBN may reveal that Paul presses the potential “ordinary” title of WBA with President Gilberto Mendoza.

Reports suggest that Mendoza evaluates YouTuber high in WBA rankings this week, which will be enough for the title shot in Ramirez.

However, World Boxing News does not consider Ramirez’s fight as profitable and believes that Paul is striving for the next ranking of the player in the first fifteen in the free secondary belt.

Mendoza will reveal more about Paul’s rating on Tuesday, which will eventually lead to the title occasion, but not against Ramirez.

President of WBA for weighing

President WBA started to social media to deal with disappointment from some fans of boxing who do not believe that Paul deserves a ranking.

“I hope everyone has a great weekend. Last night I liked the Paul vs. Chavez Jr. program and an unforgettable atmosphere.

“At the moment I am simply content with my Queen. Please, haters, save energy on Tuesday, when I will talk about the WBA ranking Jake Paul in the scale ward in the circuitous weight,” said Mendoza.

Fans and media were divided into a quick trace of Paul to the title

Meanwhile, a former ESPN member and Mexican boxing media, Ernesto Amador, begged Mendoza not to put Paul too high on the list of 200 pounds.

“Open news for Gilberto Mendoza, there was a rumor that you were going to evaluate Jake Paul very high in WBA ratings.

“If this happens, you (Gilberto) and the organization you run will lose their little prestige and credibility you left,” said Amador.

Mendoza will reveal more in the coming days when Paul puts a chance to win the version of the world title, which from the very beginning polarized fans.

Highest rank

Like the current and previous owners of the WBA secondary belt, Mendoza called both Kubrat Pulev and Gervont Davis “World Champion” in the eyes of the organization.

Many sections of fans and media perceive this differently, because the owner of the titles “Super” WBA is usually the only recognized master. “Regular” WBA titles are not widely accepted as a justified world championship.

WBA introduced an additional belt after raising the masters who unite, making a certain number of title defense to a up-to-date level.

However, there is a consensus argument against the claim that WBA is involved in practice only to obtain additional fees for sanctions they deny.

The only question is whether Paweł will choose Bona Filide 15 the best enemy, will he bring a former star and ask Mendoza to order them to his free title?
