LAS VEGAS – Lightweight prospect Curmel Moton’s fight against Frank Saldivar on the undercard of Saturday’s David Benavidez-David Morrell Jnr headliner here at T-Mobile Center has been moved to the free preliminaries portion of the streaming broadcast.
The new start time for the three-fight preliminaries broadcast will begin at 5:30 p.m. ET/2:30 p.m. PT. Viewers can watch the prelims for free on Prime Video regardless of Prime membership or purchase of the Benavidez-Morrell pay-per-view stream.
Moton, 6-0 (5 KOs), an 18-year-old from Salt Lake City who now trains out of Las Vegas, will take on Cuba’s 28-year-old Saldivar, 5-1 (3 KOs), now fighting out of Miami, in an eight-rounder. It will mark only the second time either fighter has fought in a bout scheduled for more than six rounds.
Moton, who trains with Hall of Famer Floyd Mayweather Jnr, most recently stopped Hilario Martinez Moreno in the first round last October – his fourth appearance of 2024. Saldivar, a former teammate of Morrell’s on the Cuban national team, most recently lost a 10-round unanimous decision to Yosdiel Napoles last August.
Also appearing on Saturday’s Prime preliminaries broadcast will be Argentina’s Mirco Cuello against Mexico’s Christian Olivo in a featherweight 10-rounder and middleweight contender Yoenli Feliciano Hernandez, of Cuba, against Mexico’s Angel Ruiz in a 10-round fight.
