“I’m expecting one of the toughest fights of my career on July 12,” said Canelo Alvarez. “So knowing that I’ll have my fans cheering me on, not just in the arena but in movie theaters throughout the country, has me even more motivated to beat Erislandy Lara and give the fans a fight to remember.”

“This is the fight that the fans and I demanded and now they will get to see it on a grand scale,” said Lara. “There is no better situation in boxing then to see two hungry fighters willing to put everything on the line for the honor and glory of their fans. I’ll be sending a strong message to the world come July 12th, that you can count on!”

 

Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico’s Canelo Alvarez (43-1-1, 31 KOs) is one of the most compelling figures in the fight game today.  A former world champion and still just 23-years-old, Canelo has captivated fans around the world with his exciting fighting style and charisma in and out of the ring. A professional since 2005, Canelo won the WBC Junior Middleweight Title in 2011 and successfully defended it five times before unifying the championship with a 2013 victory over Austin Trout. A mega-fight with Mayweather followed five months later.  Although he lost a hard-fought decision to the pound-for-pound king last September, Canelo got back on track in March with a 10th round-technical knockout win over Alfredo Angulo.

 

 

 

Slick southpaw Erislandy “The American Dream” Lara (19-1-2, 12 KOs) graduated from the renowned Cuban amateur boxing program and migrated to the United States to pursue a professional boxing career.  As a young contender on the rise, Lara suffered a controversial decision loss to Paul Williams in 2011.  Since then, he has done his best to take it out of the judges’ hands by knocking out Ronald Hearns and Angulo, with the latter victory earning him the WBA Junior Middleweight World Championship.  In his most recent bout, Lara won a 12-round unanimous decision over Trout on Dec. 7, 2013, and now the 31-year-old, who makes his home in Houston, will attempt to give Canelo a boxing lesson on July 12.

 

 

 

“Fight fans will not want to miss this epic bout between Canelo Alvarez and Erislandy Lara,” said John Rubey, CEO of Fathom Events. “Seeing this event on the big screen will be as close as you can get to a ring-side experience!”

“Espero una de las peleas más duras de mi carrera el 12 de julio, y sabiendo eso voy a tener a mis fanáticos animándome, no sólo en la arena sino también en las salas de cine de todo el país, y eso me tiene aún más motivado para derrotar a Erislandy Lara y darle a los aficionados una pelea para recordar”.

 


“Esta es la pelea que los aficionados y yo hemos pedido y ahora tendrán la oportunidad de verla a gran escala”, dijo Erislandy Lara. “No hay mejor situación en el boxeo que observar a dos peleadores con hambre y dispuestos a poner todo en la línea por el honor y la gloria de sus fanáticos. ¡Voy a mandar un fuerte mensaje para el mundo este 12 de julio y tú puedes contar con el!”.

 

 

 

Canelo Álvarez (43-1-1, 31 nocáuts) orgullo de Guadalajara, Jalisco México y ex monarca mundial superwelter, es una de las figuras más atractivas actualmente en el boxeo de paga que ha cautivado a los aficionados de todo el mundo con su emocionante estilo de pelear y su natural carisma dentro y fuera del cuadrilátero. Álvarez, profesional desde el 2005,  capturó el título superwelter del CMB en el 2011 y lo defendió con éxito cinco veces antes de la unificación del campeonato frente a Austin Trout a quien superó por decisión unánime en el 2013 para capturar el cinto superwelter de la AMB. Una mega pelea contra Floyd Mayweather le siguió cinco meses después, y a pesar que perdió esa noche una decisión muy reñida frente al rey libra por libra del orbe, regresó a la senda ganadora en marzo de este año con una victoria por  nocaut técnico en el décimo round sobre Alfredo “El Perro” Angulo, dejando listo el escenario para una mega pelea contra el zurdo cubano Erislandy Lara.

 

 

 

Erislandy “The American Dream” Lara (19-1-2, 12 nocáuts) de 31 años de edad, y quien radica en Houston, se graduó del reconocido programa de boxeo amateur cubano, y después de llegar a Estados Unidos para seguir una carrera profesional, el elusivo púgil zurdo ha continuado haciendo olas entre los fervientes aficionados al arte de fistiana. Lara, víctima de una controversial derrota por decisión ante Paul Williams en el 2011, ha hecho todo lo posible para no dejar dudas en peleas posteriores noqueando a Ronald Hearns y Alfredo “El Perro” Angulo, para capturar el cetro mundial interino superwelter de la Asociación Mundial de Boxeo (WBA por sus siglas en inglés) en esa última pelea ante el aguerrido peleador mexicano. Lara ganó por decisión unánime en 12 asaltos sobre Austin “No Doubt” Trout en su combate más reciente del 7 de diciembre de 2013, y ahora intentará darle una lección de boxeo al Canelo Álvarez el 12 de julio.

 

 

 

“Los fanáticos no querrán perderse esta épica pelea entre Canelo Álvarez y Erislandy Lara”,  dijo John Rubey, Director Ejecutivo de Fathom Events. “El presenciar este evento tan cerca en la pantalla grande será como una experiencia de estar en ringside”, agrego.
