Floyd Mayweather’s protege announced his arrival in style. He secured a devastating round-one KO over Ezequiel Flores, backing Mayweather’s pre-fight endorsement. While audiences at the T-Mobile Arena were impressed with his boxing skills, the 17-year-old, 18-time NB champion did not earn many admirers with his follow-up post. Were boxing purists upset with his steps, or just saddened to see CM grooving to the beats in the sanctity of his gym?

This is not the first time Curmel Moton’s name has cropped up in boxing circles. Genuine prodigy or a hyped-up name? Time will tell, but there is no denying that he is the talk of the town today.
Who is Curmel Moton, and why is there a buzz surrounding him?
Floyd Mayweather has predicted that Curmel Moton “will be a millionaire within 24 months”. But Mayweather is not the only one who is impressed with Moton. Back in 2015, he was seen training with ‘the tank,’ Gervonta Davis. He has an impressive amateur record of 48 victories with only two defeats. Also, as mentioned earlier, he has also won 18 national titles. Moton even got special permission for his professional fight from the Nevada State Athletic Commission before his 18th birthday. Shakur Stevenson has also compared his style to Naoyo Inoue, the former undisputed bantamweight champion.
Everything seems to point towards greatness in the making. But unfortunately, the latest buzz is not about his achievements. It is about his celebration after winning the fight against Flores.
How did the fans react to Curmel Moton?
In a video posted by Fight Hype.com, Moton appears to be dancing alongside his teammates and sparring partners. It was evident that the 17-year-old was in high spirits and was enjoying his hard-earned victory. However, this clip has since ignited distinct opinions
One fan found it bizarre to see these dance steps and wondered why such a genre of dancing is acceptable or desired, saying, “This new generation has made it acceptable for men to twerk. It all started because of Deontay Wilder’s viral twerk video.”
Meanwhile, one fan could not believe his eyes what he was seeing and wondered if it was real. He stated, “this feels like im in an alternate reality. like a bunch of characters from IMVU or Second Life have been transported to our reality……….”
One opinionated fan thinks such a celebration should not have taken place inside a boxing gym, exclaiming, “Y’all need to take that mess outside. lol”
One fan made his observation and thought the young boy was already looking sturdy. They said, “Look yall he be getting sturdy”
Last but not least, another fan made their opinions known. The opinion almost felt like a prophecy, with the fan saying, “It’s only a matter of time until money starts changing his life for the worse.
