One day after Vergil Ortiz criticized Jake Paul (pictured) for his "circus fight," boxer / social media star Ryan Garcia came to Paul's defense. Here is what Garcia tweeted: "You can’t say Jake’s fights are rigged. It’s getting ridiculous. He’s just winning. May not be against the people you want or are qualified to give him a challenge but it’s just because he’s popular. He has eleven pro fights. He’s  on a similar path as most pros."

 

Vergil Ortiz (pictured), holder of the WBC interim junior middleweight title tweeted the following in the wake of Jake Paul's victory over a very unaggressive Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr.: "Jake Paul is scamming the entire world with his circus fights selling them as real fights but the entire world continues to eat it all up and then have the nerve to be disappointed because the circus fights they pay to watch aren’t real fights. He is single handedly destroying the sport and everyone else is enabling it. You guys are going to continue covering and watching the circuses hoping for the umpeenth time that this circus will be real. What is it called again when you keep doing the same thing expecting different results? You have to applaud Jake Paul for keeping up the charade this long and for having everyone else still believe it."
