This time it is Julio César Chávez Jr. -an actual ex-world champion. Sounds serious, isn’t it?

Jake Paul vs Julio Chávez Jr.: Real Fight or just another name on the list?
Let us not pretend we haven’t asked it before. Every time Jake Paul fights, the same question comes up: “Is this the one where he is exposed?”
Well – maybe.
Chávez jr is not just someone. He has a 61–6–1 RecordA WBC title in the Trus Place, and the type of legacy pressure under which the boxers would crumble. The problem is that Chávez Jr’s was also Boxing’s favorite question mark. He missed weight, put through fights and somehow managed to lose against Anderson Silva in a goat ring.
When he focuses on, it could be Jake’s hardest night to date. If not? Paul Cruises, people complain, and Boxing Twitter re -establishes the cycle.
The right battle on the map: Ramirez vs Dorticós
If you are here for serious box – the kind of belts and real consequences – that is that.
Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez vs Yuniel Dorticós is for the WBA and WBO Cruiserweight titles. Ramirez brings pressure as if it is part of his DNA. Dorticós? Pure Cuban power. He dropped 25 people in 27 wins and not busy to stay busy – he erected to artillery.
Two proven fighters who want to leave with the belts.
What is on stake for Chávez jr? Everything (again)
Juan Manuel Márquez thinks Chávez can pull out the dismay – not because he is convinced by the skills gap, but because someone eventually has to check the influencer wave.
Think about it: If Chávez wins, it blows the entire Jake Paul experiment sideways. If Paul wins, as usual, it is business – another win, another cultivation, another call.
Either way, something breaks.

If Chávez jr is locked up? Jake may have to delve deep for once.
If he doesn’t? This is another highlight for Paul’s brand and another sigh of the old school fans.
