Bradley's take: Will Jake Paul's hook land better than Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.'s?

Jake Paul makes his first appearance of 2025 with a 10 -round cruiserweight bout against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on Saturday .

This will be Paul 's 13th pro fight, his first against a former boxing champ other than last November's fight against the then 58-year-old Mike Tyson .

Chavez has fought only once since December 2021 ; Paul has steadily stayed busy, fighting three times in 2024 .

Paul Paul's improved left hook and footwork will be front and center in the fight.

Chavez 's stamina will be a key factor as the fight progresses into "the comfort zone" as the pace settles.

Paul will try to impose his size and physicality as the 200 -pounder tries to disrupt Chavez 's rhythm.

Chavez can keep the fight at mid-range, invest in the body early and answer Paul 's offense with his own offense.

Paul has a leaner, more athletic frame, while Chavez may look slightly softer around the stomach.

Chavez has struggled with consistency and conditioning in the past, and carrying extra weight (he won his world title fighting at 160 pounds ).
