Anaheim, California.Paul, 28, controlled the fight as he was named the unanimous winner by the judges.Chavez struggled to get forward in the fight until the final few rounds.This was reflected in the judges’ cards as Paul claimed every single round except for just ONE.Copy linkCopiedMore big boxingJuly is going to be an absolutely massive month in the world of boxing.SunSport will be bringing you all the action, of course, with live blogs of all the big fights.Next weekend (July 5) we have a really intriguing fight between Jack Catterall and Harlem Eubank.Catterall is at a career crossroads and Eubank – Chris Eubank Jr’s cousin – is making the biggest step up of his career.Then on July 11 is a massive card from New York as Katie Taylor faces Amanda Serrano in a huge trilogy fight.The undercard of that one is also a belter with FIVE world title fights taking place in various women’s weight classes.The following night (July 12) sees Hamzah Sheeraz travel Stateside to face Edgar Berlanga, on the same card as Shakur Stevenson vs William Zepeda.Then on July 19 is the biggest night of all – Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois 2 in an absolutely MASSIVE heavyweight unification fight.As if that’s not enough, later that night Manny Pacquiao steps back into the ring for a world title shot against Mario Barrios.Copy linkCopiedRanking comingJake Paul is expected to be ranked by the WBC and WBA after that win – something that will really legitimise his claim for a shot at world titles.It’s not yet clear exactly where he will be ranked, but pre-fight both governing bodies said he would be somewhere in the top 15.Paul’s promotional partner Nakisa Bidarian said: “How do you not rank Jake Paul after that performance?”Where he totally neutralised a much more experience and more accomplished fighter than himself.”Copy linkCopied’That’s why we’re here’Jake Paul continues to state that his ultimate goal is a world title as he took another big step towards that aim.He said: “That’s the goal, that’s why we’re here. “That’s the only thing I haven’t accomplished in the sport of boxing, right?”Knockout of The Year, most-watched fight… that’s the last thing on the list.”Copy linkCopiedBoo boysFrom the moment Jake Paul walked out, it was clear that the crowd at the Honda Center were cheering for his demise.But Julio Cesar Chavez Jr was so poor but by the time of the latter rounds, he too was getting booed.He was then booed again when he spoke in the post-fight interviews.The boos were slightly less loud for Paul by that time, but he still hit out at rival fans as his rise up the boxing world continues.Copy linkCopiedWhat next for Paul?Well, if his post-fight call outs are to be believed, then Paul could be fighting at anywhere from welterweight to heavyweight in his next fight.Paul called out Gervonta Davis, Anthony Joshua, Canelo Alvarez and Tommy Fury.Like it or not, he could also well be fighting for a legitimate world title soon.The WBC and WBA are expected to rank him in the top 15 at cruiserweight.Paul called out WBA and WBO champion Zurdo Ramirez – who beat Yuriel Doritco on the same card.He may also fancy his chances against WBC champion Badou Jack, who will be 42 in October.Copy linkCopiedFight recapIt was a really solid performance by Jake Paul and a really odd one by Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.The Mexican legend – son of one of the greatest boxers EVER and a former world champion himself – just did not get going in the opening rounds.Paul had already opened up a wide lead when Chavez Jr finally started to throw and land, but by then it was way too late.The Mexican claims he does not want to retire – but this was an embarrassing performance.For Paul, there are loads of options on the table.Fighters are lining up to face him due to the money he can bring.Copy linkCopiedThe stats tell the storyNo surprises on the CompuBox stats here as they prove Julio Cesar Chavez Jr waited WAY too long to get going in the fight.He only landed 61 punches in the whole 10 rounds – with 40 of those coming in the final three rounds.Really odd performance by a former world champion, even if he is a decade away from his prime.Copy linkCopiedFight in picturesThat was a thoroughly one-sided display from the Problem Child, who dominated nearly every round in California.Here’s how it looked:Copy linkCopiedClassy PaulAmidst all the swearing and call outs, Jake Paul spared a moment in his post-fight press conference for former opponent Ben Askren.The ex-UFC man remains in hospital after contracting pneumonia.Paul, addressing the crowd and TV audience, said: “Say a prayer for Ben Askren and for his family. “We all need to support him.”Everyone should go donate to him.”Paul also revealed he and brother Logan had donated to the Askren family.Copy linkCopiedFight reportSunSport’s boxing man Jack Figg was in Anaheim overnight to watch Jake Paul’s massive win first hand.Here’s how he saw it:Copy linkCopiedPaul fails to deliver knockoutAll the talk before the fight from Jake Paul was about how he was going to knockout Chavez Jr.However, at no point did he get close to that moment.Despite his defensive tactics, the punches of Paul never seemed to rock Chavez or seem to have him there for the taking.Copy linkCopiedChavez looking for returnSpeaking with DAZN after his fight, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr declared that he is ready to return for more fights.His fans seemed to be behind him this evening, maybe spurring his passion for more action in the ring.Let’s just hope that he lets his hands ho more than he did this evening.Copy linkCopied More

      Jake Paul cruises to victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in biggest win yet and puts final nail in ex-champion’s career

      by

      JAKE PAUL put the final nail in the coffin of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr’s career – while securing his biggest win to date.The YouTuber-turned-boxer eased to a ten-round points decision against the son of Mexico’s most beloved boxer.Jake Paul scored a wide decision win against Julio Cesar Chavez JrCredit: Esther LinIt marks the biggest win of his careerCredit: Esther LinJake Paul controlled the bout with his jabCredit: Esther LinPaul, under a chorus of boos, said: “I love that s***. I’m him. I just beat your boy’s ass.”He’s a tough guy, he’s never been stopped. He’s a warrior. I respect him. But I came out on top.”It was flawless, it was great. I think I only got hit ten times. I embarrassed him – easy work.”For the umpteenth – but thankfully final time – Chavez Sr was left in disappointment as his son fell to his most shameful loss of all.And not just because of the result, with Paul admittedly the bigger, fresh and improving boxer, but the manner of it.Paul came out cautiously in the opening round, boxing off his jab and circling the ring.But Chavez Jr appeared to come out with no plan at all, following Paul around the ring aimlessly.Most read in BoxingJake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez JrJAKE PAUL’S controversial boxing career rolls on this weekend with the Problem Child facing boxing royalty in Anaheim, California.Paul will face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, a highly-decorated former world middleweight champion.The Mexican, 39, has fought just once in the last four years but has the best boxing resume of any fighter to step into a ring with Paul – bar Mike Tyson, who was aged 58 at the time they fought.Watch Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr LIVE on DAZN PPVLIVELATEST NEWS & FEATURESCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSFor the first two rounds he barely threw a punch, as Paul fought off his jab and the occasional hopeful right hand.A double jab followed by a right uppercut looked to have hurt Chavez Jr – but the son of a legend hustled his way out of the situation.As the pro-latino crowd began to vent their frustration with jeers filling out the Honda Center – Chavez Jr miraculously came into life.Rounds four and five showed glimpses of encouragement for the former world champion, catching Paul with a couple of looping right hands.But it was not enough to win the rounds with Paul far too active with his lead left hand, right to the body and overhand to the temple.Round six proved Chavez Jr’s best as he twice had Paul in a degree of trouble on the ropes with his signature left hook.When the right hand followed, Paul responded with a combination of his own as the crowd jumped into life.But the action predictably died down in round seven – as did Chavez Jr’s faint hope of winning – after returning to his role as adopted punch bag.Paul was back in charge behind his jab, firing off the uppercut and left hook combination when Chavez Jr clumsily walked forward in round eight.In the ninth, Chavez Jr found a rare spurt of success, forcing Paul on the back foot with pressure, lifting ex-Disney Channel star’s chin up with a thudding uppercut.Read More on The SunPaul had to overcome some adversity in the tenth and final round as Chavez Jr rolled the dice coming forward but it was too little too late.With scores of 99-91, 97-93, 98-92, he took a one-sided unanimous decision and Chavez Jr was forced to concede defeat.Jake Paul takes to the mic after victoryCredit: Esther Lin More
