Teddy Atlas slams Julio César Chávez Jr. after loss to Jake Paul

Article arrow_drop_down

The bout between Julio César Chávez Jr. and Jake Paul didn’t just declare a winner in the ring-it also revealed a clear target outside of it. Legendary trainer and analyst Teddy Atlas launched a scathing critique against the Mexican fighter, accusing him of mentally surrendering rather than fighting with conviction. “He didn’t try to win. That’s a deserter,” Atlas said bluntly on his podcast The Fight with Teddy Atlas.

Chavez Jr trains oddly; fans favor Jake Paul

For Atlas, boxing is about much more than punches-it’s about mindset. “He’s tough, he can take punishment, but that’s not the same as going out there to win,” he added. Chávez Jr.’s performance left more questions than answers about his commitment to the sport and to the legacy he represents.

Chávez Jr. didn’t show anything

Atlas referenced his mentor, Cus D’Amato, to explain what he believed happened in the ring. “This starts with belief, not strength or technique. If you don’t believe you can win, you’ve already lost,” he said. According to Atlas, Chávez Jr. lacked confidence, focus, and the discipline necessary to turn the fight around.

During his analysis, Atlas made a gut-punch comparison: Mike Tyson versus Evander Holyfield I. “Tyson showed toughness too, but he quit mentally. Chávez Jr. did the same,” he noted. It’s not about how many punches you can take-it’s about having the fire to go out and win.

The shadow of the Chávez name

Carrying a name that symbolizes greatness in Mexican boxing, Julio César Chávez Jr. bears heavy expectations. But according to Atlas, that legacy means little without the hunger to win. “People think taking punishment is bravery. It’s not, not if you never try to win. That way, no one says you quit… but deep down, you know you did,” he added.

This harsh take hits directly at Chávez Jr.’s credibility, as he’s often been at the center of controversy for his lack of focus and consistency in recent years.

Jake Paul thrives amid the chaos

While Atlas lit up Chávez Jr. with criticism, Jake Paul didn’t miss a beat in capitalizing on his victory. He silenced boos in the arena and posted bold messages on social media, mocking his opponent. The influencer-turned-boxer continues to prove that his presence transcends the ring.

Though his style remains polarizing, some figures in the professional boxing world have come to his defense, acknowledging that he’s taking the sport seriously-and, at least this time, he was the more committed fighter.

„Já viděl faul. (Rozhodčí) dnes večer byli hrozní. Nepřijatelní. Byl to faul a měly se házet trestné hody. To, jestli by je proměnil, záleží na hráči, ale rozhodčí neodvedli svoji práci.
