Jake Paul said a crowd of hoots to “close the F – K” after defeating the former average weight champion Julio César Chávez Jr. by unanimous decision on Saturday evening in Anaheim, California.
“All hoots are words, and actions speak more than words, so you can all close the F —!” Paul said in The postmatch Interview while making gestures of taunting at the crowd. “I’m the hip, I’m really connected, I just beat your boy, easy job, the fifth year, wait for me to have even more mother-!”
Paul (12-1, 7 KB) seemed to take the greatest risk of his unique boxing career by facing his most accomplished opponent at Chávez 39 years old (54-7-2), and in front of an ardently pro-Chávez crowd in South California.

At least it seemed to be a risk until Chávez enters the ring at the Honda Center and looks lifeless, barely punching until the end of the fourth round of their Cruiserweight fight.
Even with his famous father shouting furiously at the edge of the ring, Chávez temporarily fought against Paul, who patiently controlled the ring and landed just enough to win rounds.

Chávez first launched a perceptible attack in the sixth, and he delivered several fascinating shots in the ninth, finally displaying the skills of a long boxing career.
But he was not seriously damaged the pugilist who became YouTuber, who jumped on the strings to celebrate after absorbing several gusts in the 10th and last round.
The judges marked him 99-91, 98-92 and 97-93 for Paul. The Associated Press also favored Paul 97-93.

“I thought I had lost the first five laps, so I tried to win the last laps,” said Chávez. “He is strong, a good boxer (for) the first three, four laps. After that, I felt that he was tired. I don’t think he was ready for the champions, but he is a good fighter.”
Chávez, who has fought only once since 2021, is best known for not having maximized the potential of his father’s genetics. He is still the most credible boxer from afar to share the ring with Paul, who is now 5 and a half years and 13 fights in his lucrative combat career.
