Floyd Mayweather’s New Protegee Warns Ryan Garcia about Gervonta Davis

Former 5 division champ Floyd Mayweather’s protegee has a warning for lightweight contender Ryan Garcia. Curmel Moton is the latest addition to ‘Money’s team and is certainly on his way to becoming a great boxer like his mentor. Moreover, he thinks that WBA regular champion and former Mayweather protege Gervonta Davis will get the better of ‘King Ry’.

The talks for a fight between the two lightweight prospects have been speculated for a long time. However, it seems the two will more than likely face each other in April next year. However, Moton might have some advice for Garcia ahead of the matchup.

Curmel Moton has a stern warning for Ryan Garcia

In a recent interview with FightHype, Mayweather’s protegee was asked why many fans felt ‘Tank’ would easily beat Garcia in a boxing match. He then stated that according to him Garcia was not focused fully on the sport. He added that to beat Davis, one needed a good defense, which ‘The Flash’ was lacking. Moreover, he claimed that if ‘Tank’ caught him with a clean punch he would not survive past the 10 counts.

“I don’t think Ryan’s really focused and to beat Tank you gotta have a good defense and I don’t see that with Ryan, you know he got dropped and if Tank would have caught him with that shot, it would have probably been over” he said

While still a young prospect, Moton has already sparred with some of the best boxers in the world. This includes Gervonta Davis and Shakur Stevenson. So it is safe to say that he does have some credibility in his opinion. However, only time will tell who comes out victorious in this battle among rivals.

Moton details how he met Floyd Mayweather

Later in the interview, the young protegee was asked how he ended up in Mayweather’s gym. He then went on to detail how he just started training in the gym and was noticed by Mayweather based on his skill.

“I started sparring them you know and I was showing that you know I’m really that guy you know I was whooping them and all that. Floyd started noticing you know people talking and then I met Floyd. He started growing a relationship and he started following me through my career.” he said

It’s hard to argue that Monton has what it takes to become a top contender or even a champion in the future. Moreover, given Mayweather’s track record of producing great fights, all bets will be on this young prospect’s success.
