Chávez Jr. should be ashamed: Juan Manuel Márquez

A few days ago, Julio César Chávez Jr. had the opportunity to restart his boxing career with his return to the ring, facing the famous and acclaimed YouTuber Jake Paul in the main event. This fight had garnered great expectations and controversy due to the Mexican's preparation, which in the end, after all, proved to be of little use.

After several weeks of intense controversy, It was the American Paul who proved superior in the ring, taking the victory and raising criticism towards Julio César Chávez Jr.

Chávez Jr.'s poor performance sparked controversy among several former boxers. One of them was Juan Manuel Márquez , who spoke about the fight in a podcast and attacked the Mexican, whom he considered a stingy boxer who better things were expected.

"He (Chávez Jr.) left a lot to be desired. We know he doesn't like to throw punches, that he's a stingy fighter. We expected better things. It's a very strong hook to the boxing industry, because How does a YouTuber beat a former world champion? Chávez Jr. left a lot to be desired, and we'll have to see what else is coming," he mentioned on the ProBox TV channel.

In his participation, Márquez took the opportunity to reject Jake Paul's entry into the WBA rankings , an organization that placed him at number 14, which puts him in the fight for a world championship.

"They are planning it with skill. Jake Paul throws an uppercut with one foot forward "He has many boxing weaknesses, many mistakes. They're mistakes of an amateur fighter. Competing for a world championship with those kinds of errors is very tough," he concluded.
