Mayweather Promotions CEO Gives Crucial Advice to Floyd Mayweather’s Protege Curmel Moton After His Involvement in Marlon Tapales Training Camp Ahead of Naoya Inoue Fight

The entire Mayweather camp is happy with the way Curmel Moton has been gradually moving towards boxing stardom. The young boxer who debuted professionally this year remains unbeaten, winning both bouts through early stoppages.

The Utah-born prodigy has been displaying far greater maturity for his age, honing his skills by sparring with other seasoned fighters and sometimes even world champions. It goes a long way in helping him understand different styles. The takeaways from experienced boxers will help him address his own shortcomings. Thus, he wholeheartedly supported WBA (super) and IBF (super bantamweight) champion Marlon Tapales. The latter will face Naoya Inoue in a few hours. The Filipino side complimented the young boxer, along with a few others. Soon, a proud Leonard Ellerbe couldn’t prevent himself from sharing his bit for Curmel Moton.

Curmel Moton: Help, and thy shall learn

The Filipino title holder will face the biggest test of his professional career as he goes against ‘The Monster’ to settle the undisputed argument. His promotors, Viva Promotions, took to their official Twitter handle and thanked former WBO super bantamweight champion Angelo Leo, former WBC featherweight champion Mark Magsayo, Cuban Olympic bronze medalist Joahnys Argilagos, and Curmel Moton.

Their thank-you note read, “On behalf of Team Tapales, we would like to thank his world-class sparring partners all throughout the start of his camp up until the end. Former WBO Champion Angelo Leo, Former WBC Champion @markmagsayo_MMM Rising star @curmelmoton1 Olympic Bronze Medalist Joahnys Argilagos.” The promotions later thanked other champions as well.

Soon, Leonard Ellerbe tagged the message to Moton and said that it was the most apt way to grow as a boxer. “This is how you get better, @curmelmoton1,” the Mayweather Promotions CEO said. A month ago, Ellerbe lauded Curmel Moton for the way he destroyed his second opponent, Hunter Turbyfill.

A star on the move

The young prodigy had already made a name for himself as an amateur boxer. But the world first took notice of him when, fighting on the undercard of the Canelo Alvarez–Jermell Charlo fight, he floored Ezequiel Flores in the opening round. Two months later, he was back in the ring. This time, he faced Turbyfill on the David Benavidez–Demetrius Andrade card. The outcome followed the first fight, as Moton knocked out the Tennessee native in the first round.

It should be interesting to note that both fights occurred after the main fight of the event got over. But despite the disadvantage, there has been no letdown in the young boxer’s popularity. Footage of his fights started going viral across social media platforms. Information related to his upcoming fight remains unavailable. However, it remains a fact that many fans would be looking for the brilliant young boxer, whom many have already started calling the next Floyd Mayweather Jr.
