“Leave My Man Hunter Alone!!”: Fans Quickly Jump in to Defend Floyd Mayweather’s Protege Curmel Moton’s Choice of Opponent for Next Fight

In a walkout bout following the highly anticipated Canelo Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo, Curmel Moton embarked on his professional boxing journey against Ezequiel Flores. The inaugural match proved to be a spectacular start to what appears to be a promising career, as Moton swiftly secured victory by knocking out Flores in the first round. The triumph has set the stage for his upcoming bout on November 25, where he is slated to face Hunter Turbyfill.

Notably, Moton has already declared the conclusion of his rigorous training camp. So, he is prepared to encounter the second opponent of his professional career. This fight would be on the undercard of David Benavidez vs. Demetrius Andrade, so currently Floyd Mayweather‘s protégé still has a long way to go. Besides everything, he’s already being criticized for his choice of opponents.

Despite facing hurdles in Mayweather’s initial plan, Moton remains undeterred in his desire to square off against the current WBA featherweight champion. Mayweather, exhibiting confidence in Moton’s abilities, aimed to set up the ambitious matchup from the outset of Moton’s professional journey.

The plan, however, failed to gain substantial traction. Furthermore, undeterred by the setback, Moton expressed his ongoing eagerness to face Wood, emphasizing his determination for the potential showdown.
