In all honesty they should've known since before Thanksgiving that he was well overweight with 14 lbs. Makes me wonder if he even bother cut ANYTHING or did he just say eff it and decide to show up in his walking weight after having a tasty Thanksgiving meal made by Mom?
Well now I bet he’s gonna suck. A young guy missing weight by that much is a bad sign. Age of social media is the worst, these guys think they’re Floyd Mayweather before they turn pro…
I actually hope that there was some confusion and he actually thought he was fighting on December by mistake and got the call that morning he needs to come to weigh in? Given that the card he's fighting in is by Danny Garcia's Swift Promotion and not Mayweather Promotions, maybe his managers and trainers didn't bother to remind him or care to keep track of his weight cut and didn't realize the confusion...or something like that. Still dumb, but pure dumbness is better than the lack of willingness and knowingly breaking the rules beyond anything ever heard of in the past. If he showed up to weigh-in with that knowingly then his talent doesn't matter, he doesn't have a mindset of what an athlete should be.
Personal like or dislike of Haney aside, it is totally different. Haney rehydrated a ton and is a weight bully, but bottomline he actually made weight for the weigh-in when he stepped on the scale. Moton stepped on the scale 14 lbs over.
All the guys who were hating on Garcia for coming in overweight are going to be as quiet as church mice with this one.
I'm actually hoping he had the dates confused, and just said eff it and walked in via his Turkey filled walking weight and have nothing to rehydrate. If the 14 lbs over was a result of actual weight cutting effort (that failed beyond imaginable) he couldn't even make the welterweight limit.
In this case, he is just a flat out idiot and will not last long in boxing unless handled Very carefully, ala Wilder
That’s crazy. He’s 3 division above the contracted weight. He’s only starting his career and he’s already this undisciplined and unprofessional. Fight is gonna get canceled. Nobody is gonna take a fight with him unless it’s at 140 or 147.
How tall is he for real? His profile still says 5'2" and obviously that isn't true but I haven't seen the updated value. But even if he's 5'8" its still a disgraceful and pathetic total disregards to the sport in general. I highly doubt it but I wish the opponent got his purse as well as what Moton was supposed to get, and Moton gets fined the full purse amount to cover it.
So according to his excuse, he basically decided to not bother to attempt to cut weight because I guess his bloodwork was potentially bad and knew the fight probably won't happen anyway. Too much stripper and drugs?
