Boxing fans? text-to-vote results announced from ?S?lo Boxeo Tecate? event on January 14
NEW YORK (January 20, 2011 ) ? Boxing fans who watched last Friday night?s TeleFutura broadcast of ?S?lo Boxeo Tecate? sat in the judge?s seat and selected fighter Frankie G?mez as the boxer with the most character in the ring. Not only did Gomez win the 6-round fight against Luis Alfredo Lugo by unanimous decision, but he received 87 percent of all votes cast via text message by fans across the nation.
Launched by Tecate, cerveza con car?cter, the ?Cintur?n Tecate? award gives viewers the chance to recognize the strength, courage and determination of up-and-coming fighters featured on ?S?lo Boxeo Tecate.? The boxer who receives the most text votes is announced during the following week?s program. As part of the promotion, adult fans who participate will receive free ring tones and screen savers for their cell phones.
The next voting opportunity will be on January 21, when ?S?lo Boxeo Tecate? travels to Mendoza, Argentina to bring viewers a featured bout between Argentina?s Lucas Matthysse (27-1, 25 KO?s), who is currently ranked fourth in the world by the WBO and seven by the IBF, and DeMarcus ?Chop Chop? Corley (37-15-1, 22 KO?s), a former Junior Welterweight World Champion who has been in the ring with the likes of Floyd ?Money? Mayweather, Miguel Cotto, Devon Alexander, Marcos ?Chino? Maidana and Randall Bailey.
Fans at home will have the opportunity to cast unlimited votes to help determine the boxer with the most character by texting their choice to 55333 through the end of the weekend. To be part of the action tune in on Friday, January 21, at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT (10:30 p.m. CT) on TeleFutura.
