With 87 Percent of "S?lo Boxeo Tecate" Viewers' Votes, Perez Is Recognized As The Boxer With Most Car?cter

NEW YORK (July 8, 2011) - Throughout this season of "S?lo Boxeo Tecate," fans have been given the opportunity to celebrate their passion for the sport of boxing by voting for the fighter who displays the most talent, determination and car?cter in the ring each Friday night. Today, Cerveza Tecate is proud to announce that Michael "The Artist" Perez is the winner of the second of four "Cintur?n Tecate" belts to be awarded in 2011, having earned viewers' respect and 87% of all votes cast during his May 13 fight against Ira Terry in Ponce, Puerto Rico.

Perez will be accepting the award during tonight's "Solo Boxeo Tecate" broadcast on TeleFutura at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT (10:30 p.m. CT); and will appear on Univision's premier sports talk show, "Republica Deportiva" on Sunday, July 10 to talk about what it means to be a boxer con car?cter.

A Newark, New Jersey native, Perez has proven that he is a force to be reckoned with, with an undefeated record of 13-0-1 with 7 wins coming by way of knockout. This year, Perez has stopped Marco Herrera in eight rounds on Feb. 4 and Ira Terry in just three rounds. During his amateur career, he earned three East Coast titles, the 2003 Silver Gloves Championship, the 2005 Junior Olympic National Title and the 2008 National Golden Gloves Title. Perez is scheduled to return to "S?lo Boxeo Tecate" on August 19, when fans will once again have the chance to judge his car?cter.

"Cintur?n Tecate" (Tecate Belt) is an award created to support the boxers who display the most car?cter in the ring during the "S?lo Boxeo Tecate" broadcast each Friday night on TeleFutura. Tecate recognizes that viewers at home are the best judges and allows them to participate by sending a text message to 55333 or visit Univision.com to vote for their favorite boxer of the night.
