When you’ve got a nickname like “The Big Deal,” you’d better live up to it—and 18-year-old Curmel Moton isn’t just meeting expectations; he’s crushing them. With boxing legend Floyd Mayweather backing him, this young lightweight is making waves in the sport. His next big test comes this Saturday night in Atlantic City, New Jersey, where he’ll continue his meteoric rise.
Moton’s Rapid Rise in the Boxing World
Let’s be honest—Moton isn’t your typical rookie. With an undefeated record of 6-0 (5 KOs), he’s proving why the hype is real. Since his pro debut in September 2023, he’s been on fire, taking out his last three opponents with knockouts, two of them in the first round. That’s the kind of power and precision that gets people talking.
What sets Moton apart? He’s not afraid to take risks. In just his third pro fight, he stepped up to an eight-round bout—something few fighters his age would dare to try. Training in Las Vegas, Moton has the tools, environment, and mentorship to keep growing. This Saturday, he’ll take on Bryan Mercado in a six-round matchup that’s sure to test his skills.
A Veteran Test for the Young Phenom
Bryan Mercado, a 30-year-old fighter from Ecuador, isn’t going down without a fight. Now based in Las Vegas, Mercado has a record of 11-6-1 (6 KOs) and brings plenty of experience to the table. Sure, he’s had some tough breaks recently, including two back-to-back losses this year, but don’t count him out. With five career stoppages under his belt, Mercado is no stranger to tough fights. He’s also never been stopped before the fifth round, which speaks volumes about his durability.
For Moton, this fight is more than just a notch on his belt—it’s a chance to show he can handle a seasoned veteran. If he can deliver another dominant performance, it will prove he’s not just a promising prospect but a future star in the lightweight division.
With his knockout power, fearless attitude, and relentless drive, Curmel Moton is showing the world why they call him The Big Deal. This is just the beginning, but make no mistake: he’s not here to blend in—he’s here to take over.
