Someone else asked whether Moton is aiming for yet another first-round finish, repeating history. The user wrote, “First-round knockout??” Given Moton’s track record thus far, the possibility of a first-round knockout win is more real than ever. 

The next user could not hold his excitement about Moton’s fight as he made a popular prediction. The user wrote, “gon put on a show 3-0.” If Floyd Mayweather and the other big names in boxing are correct, Moton’s zero will be hard to take away.
