Jake Paul deserves more credit for Boxing according to former champ Ryan Garcia Instagram: Jake Paul\/Ryan GarciaFormer WBC interim Lightweight champion Ryan \u2018KingRy\u2019 Garcia believes Jake Paul deserves a bit more credit than he\u2019s received for his boxing skills, as the YouTuber is set to return to the ring this summer. While he\u2019s not yet got a fight against a \u2018real\u2019 boxer under his belt, Jake Paul has certainly made an impact on the boxing world both inside and out of the ring. The YouTuber-turned-boxer, who holds a 5-0 record, has scored wins over former UFC stars Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley, and has eyes to fight some more recognized boxers as he\u2019s called out the likes of Saul \u2018Canelo\u2019 Alvarez. Seeing as he\u2019s yet to fight someone who has dedicated their life to the sweet science, many critics have laughed off the Ohio native\u2019s skills, with his previous bouts being referred to as freak shows. Though, he has won over some stars of the sweet science. Lightweight star Ryan \u2018KingRy\u2019 Garcia, who has praised Jake\u2019s involvement with the sport previously, doubled down on his praise of the YouTuber and stated that he deserves more recognition. Speaking to Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, the 23-year-old said: \u201cI love Jake, Jake\u2019s my guy. I\u2019ve got nothing bad to say, and I hope he keeps doing good and making the right decisions. Obviously, he\u2019s beaten everybody that he\u2019s fighting. Got to give him credit, he\u2019s had five fights now. \u201cYou\u2019ve got to think about it, most boxers are fighting guys that don\u2019t know how to fight at all anyway. You can\u2019t really claim that he\u2019s doing something wrong if you\u2019re really looking at it in a truthful aspect and being honest.\u201d Timestamp of 1:58:48 While plenty of doubters still remain, Jake has got a chance to continue to prove them wrong as he fights later this summer. The YouTuber has not yet announced an opponent, but plenty of boxers have thrown their hats into the ring as potential contenders. So, we\u2019ll just have to wait and see what happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
