Moton faced off against Ezequiel Flores in the ring and impressively secured a first-round knockout, making a powerful statement in his inaugural professional match.

Moton has been consistent and focused in his training. It is not in vain that ‘Pretty Boy’ shouldered such a responsibility and trust in a young gun. The protege recently posted on his Instagram a picture of him sparring with the caption “Ever since I was a lil baby I had “sum to prove”. Fans have come up in complete support of Moton. Shakur Stevenson responded with the fire emoji as well. Let us take a look at few of the comments.

“you are incredible curmel without a doubt you are the best success in all future champ” One fan lauded Moton and wished him a bright future.

“The smile of Killa” Moton’s radiant smile caught the attention of another.

“I’m putting dat bag on bro every fight I ain’t going lie” A fan was ready to bet all his riches on the young pugilist.

“Laughing all the way to the bank” joked another fan who predicted Moton to have an enormous fortune.

“Who let a Gorilla in the gym” Another fan called the teenage fighter a beast, drawing parallels between him and a gorilla.

Moton clearly has built a strong support system among his fans. Fans are not hesitant to pour out their love on the young fighter who has come a long way and has yet a distance to cover to conquer the boxing arena.

Shakur Stevenson believes Moton will soar higher

After their six-round sparring session earlier this year, Moton has highly impressed Stevenson. Stevenson, considered one of the best pound-for-pound boxers, sees tremendous potential in the 17-year-old Moton. Stevenson envisions a future where Moton attains a similar status in the boxing world, highlighting the young fighter’s remarkable talent and abilities. Moton has received mentorship from Mayweather for over a decade. Not only this, he regularly spars with top professionals in the gym of the retired five-division champion.

Due to this, Stevenson anticipates Moton will quickly move into challenging fights at a young age. The 26-year-old boxer compared the fighting style of Moton to that of Naoya Inoue. However, he also mentioned that he doesn’t possess the same punching power as Inoue at this point. This is mainly because the young boxer from Las Vegas is still in the process of physical development.
