Floyd Mayweather's United Front Amid Curmel Moton Rumors
Floyd Mayweather showed his unwavering support for Curmel Moton in Ontario, California, amidst rumors that his promising protege might leave. Mayweather's presence was a statement, as he watched Moton maintain his unbeaten record against Nikolai Buzolin, improving to 4-0 with a third stoppage in the super lightweight division.
The teenage prospect fought on the Nate Diaz vs. Jorge Masvidal card as Mayweather and former Golden Boy Richard Schaefer work to rebuild Mayweather’s company. Recently, several young stars like J’hon Ingram, Richardson Hitchins, and Jalil Hackett left Mayweather’s camp, causing concern about the stability of his roster.+
Despite the departures, Mayweather is determined to retain Moton. The young fighter’s loyalty was evident after a public dispute with Gervonta Davis, which resulted in Moton being dropped from Davis's undercard. Nevertheless, Moton’s decision to stand by Mayweather has solidified their relationship.
Moton dominated Buzolin from the start, pressuring him into a knee and eventually securing a second-round stoppage. The fight was called by experienced referee Jack Reiss, showcasing Moton's exceptional skill and preparation.
Reflecting on his victory, Moton expressed gratitude for the enthusiastic crowd. “It felt great to be in there with a huge crowd like this tonight. The atmosphere really pushed me to be my best. I put in a lot of work at the gym and knew it would pay off.”
Moton also addressed his future with Mayweather, saying, “I know there are all eyes on me with Floyd behind my back. It puts a target on me. I’ve felt pressure my whole life, so this is nothing for me. I’m used to it. I just have to show up and do what I do. I’m going to get back in the gym and keep working hard to put on another great performance.”
Mayweather’s public support for Moton is crucial as they prepare for a significant event announcement. With only four bouts under his belt, Moton has quickly become one of the most lucrative fighters in Mayweather’s stable. The strategy now appears to be centered on building the organization around Moton to ensure he remains with the team.
