In the boxing universe, timing is everything. Be it the split-second when a boxer decides to strike or the pivotal moments that define a fighter’s career trajectory. Now, consider this oddity. A prodigious talent, mentored by boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, set to make his professional debut – but not in the limelight he deserves. Curmel Moton is that talent. His debut clash with Ezequiel Flores is scheduled strangely, post the much-hyped main event of Canelo Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo.

‘Money’ took Curmel under his wing as he recognized the potential that the young fighter possessed. Just like ‘Pretty Boy,’ the 17-year-old can adapt to any style of fighting and gain an edge over his opponent. Just a year ago, Moton had sparred with ‘Tank’ Gervonta Davis and raised quite a few eyebrows. Many had touted him as being better than Davis in terms of his technique.

While the boxing world’s focus will be on the main event, it’s Moton’s unusual debut slot that’s raising eyebrows and whispering questions. Why aren’t they televising such a momentous occasion for a promising young boxer? Why do they push it to the shadows, especially with Mayweather’s endorsement?

Why are all the cameras on Curmel Moton?

The anticipation surrounding this bout is palpable, but not just because of the clash itself. It’s the nuances of Moton’s journey to this point that are garnering attention.

One fan pointedly commented, “His debut not being televised, he fighting after the main card.” Highlighting the underlying sentiment, another user chimed in with a more upbeat, “These shorts are FIRE!!!!!!!!!”

Transitioning from attire to the essence of the event, one fan implored, “It’s tonight that you can build your future, all the cameras are on you, don’t f**k it please.” Echoing this support, another fan exclaimed with sheer enthusiasm, “THE CHAMP IS HERE LETS GO.”

Eventually, another fan encapsulated the collective excitement and well wishes, remarking, “Can’t wait man, show em who u are and have a successful career.”
