GOTCHA HAT!

I guess Ryan Bourland didn’t learn anything from the Floyd Mayweather face off.

The 35 year-old “Rhino” got his hat stolen by Jake Paul during their press conference staredown on Thursday, just two days in front of their cruiserweight co-main event on Sat. night (March 2) on DAZN (sign up here) from inside Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan.

Watch the “Serrano vs. Meinke” press conference video replay here.

Paul, 27, is coming off a knockout win over Andre August last Dec., improving to 8-1 with five knockouts. Bourland, 35, improved to 17-2 (6 KOs) by stopping light heavyweight punching bag Santario Martin back in late 2022.

“He’s a strong guy, and I know he’s knocked some people out,” Bourland told East Bay Times. “He’s pretty new to boxing. I’m pretty experienced, but I know he’s very dedicated. It should be a good fight. He’s a strong dude. I’m still going to do what I do, but I think we have a great game plan for the fight. I’m going to keep my same style, but it will be a different gameplan than other fights.”
