Jake Paul seems to be proud of the way he’s prepared for his next big fight. However, as he expressed this pride, The ‘Problem Child’ has also managed to gather the troll army against him, yet again. What did he do, now? Well, if not for his antics, what else?

Tomorrow, March 2, in a San Juan, Puerto Rico fight, Paul will co-headline a fight with Amanda Serrano. The fight against inactive professional boxer, Ryan Bourland comes at a time when the Cleaveland native is taking his aims to the championship fights. Ahead of this crucial undertaking, a ceremonial weigh-in took place in San Juan. While his physique and gains look pretty impressive, fans remain pressed over something else.

Who will win the world heavyweight title?

Tyson Fury

Oleksandr Usyk

8-1, Paul touched an impressive 199 pounds ahead of his cruiserweight bout with Ryan Bourland. As the fight is not sanctioned by any governing body, the weigh-ins remain purely a ceremonial task. However, in boxing cultures, that too remains ultra-crucial, giving a picture of the work the fighter has put in during camp. Proud of his 199-pound number, Paul mimicked calling someone. As the weight was declared, he yelled, aggressively, “Absolutely Dialed.”

At the majestic Coliseo Jose Miguel Agrelot of San Juan which houses 18,500 spectators, the 27-year-old fighter undertakes a bout that could determine a lot about his future in the boxing scene. With having registered his career’s first loss last year, the fighter has come under heavy fire for fighting boxers who seem to have stepped away from the sport. Be it Andre August, or now Bourland who has not fought since 2022. Amidst these criticisms, the fighter will have to battle off some more opponents tonight. Especially, regarding his antics during the weigh-ins.

Dial gone wrong…

On X, formerly Twitter, the influencer-turned-boxer uploaded a video of the weigh-in. While fans are not very excited about Jake Paul’s bout, his screeching at the weigh-in triggered them even further. One fan expressed his apathy for the Problem Child as well as his next fight in their comment.

For another user, Paul’s antiques were not sticking well. To them, they were “cringe.”

A question on the minds of many fans was posed by this fan. Who is Paul fighting? And why are they mostly inactive boxers?

A fan did not care and suggested Paul take these antics to someone who really does.

For another user, Paul’s voice cracking seemed awkwardly strange.

As Manny Pacquiao once said, “Boxing is not about your feelings. It’s about performance.” Through my writing, I hope to bring this performance closer to boxing fans.
