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

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."

the conclusion of the main event, fans in the arena and at home will
