Jake Paul managed to pull off yet another win against Ryan Bourland on March 3 at the Coliseo Jose Miguel Agrelot in San Juan, Puerto Rico. And now the Cleveland native is out celebrating his victory with his friends. Going into the matchup, most people expected the same outcome from the fight. But Jake Paul over-delivered.

In a similar fashion to his knockout win over Andre August in December last year, ‘The Problem Child’ floored Bourland in the first round of their eight-round bout. So, to celebrate his spectacular win over a guy who hadn’t fought in a year and quit boxing – Paul threw a lavish pool party. His sports betting company, Betr, even shared a clip from the festivities on social media today.

It was Paul’s ninth professional win in his tenth professional bout. The only red in his otherwise pristine resume came from fighting Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia last year.

It’s not the first time MMA legend Demetrious Johnson has spoken out about the threat that is Jake Paul. After Paul had defeated Andre August last year, Johnson made his opinion known about Paul fighting unknown guys. However, after witnessing Paul absolutely dismantle Bourland, ‘Mighty Mouse’ went a step further to criticize ‘The Problem Child.’

“[Jake Paul] is evolving, don’t get me wrong. He is evolving, but what are you doing when you’re fighting these guys you find off the street? Like I said before. When he fought Andre August, the gentleman was running pizza routes. Go, find somebody who is 25, 26 years old, who Eddie Hearn or somebody can find that’s in the gym, that’s grinding, that’s hungry. Put yourself in the fire,” said Johnson.
