Las Vegas (September, 12) - "Knockout Kings," this Saturday's Mexican Independence Day weekend quadruple-header headlined by WBC Super Welterweight World Champion Canelo Alvarez facing upset-driven Josesito Lopez, just got more interesting with the addition of a $100,000 bonus being awarded to the fighter who registers the best knockout of the night.

 

Fans will have the opportunity to text to vote for their choice immediately following the end of the Canelo vs. Lopez bout. The winner will be announced in the ring and live during the telecast on SHOWTIME® from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

 

The eight fighters featured on the telecast have a combined 206 knockouts.

 

"These four fights all have the ingredients to end in a spectacular fashion," said President of Golden Boy Promotions Oscar De La Hoya. "Knockout Kings is the perfect title for this fight card because you have current world champions, former world champions and aspiring world champions all striving for a win this Saturday night. All the fighters are known for their power and none can be counted out or overlooked. This is a unique way to engage the fans watching around the country. I am hoping to see four knockouts so that the decision is that much tougher and the winner is that much more deserving of the prize."

----- Glad to see Oscar might be pulling himself together after a really bad patch.

 

100K is a great promotional gimmick and gives the fans the kinds of fights they want to see. Jhonny Gonzo has to be the fav, but if Lopez surprises, well.......

This looks a rather one-sided card to me, with the possible exception of Ponce v Gonzalez, but I expect De Leon to come through that as Gonzalez is past his prime.

 

Canelo will go through Lopez like a dose of salts, Maidana should beat Karass fairly easily too, though he's got such poor killer instincts you never know whether he'll let them back into the fight.
