PhilBoxing.com


?S?lo Boxeo Tecate? Viewers Choose Vargas and V?lez as Boxers With The Most Car?cter From Their Respective
Fights On June 8 and June 15

New York (July 22, 2011) - Boxing fans rewarded pugilists Jessie Vargas and Jayson V?lez for the character they showed in their respective fights on the July 8 and the July 15 ?S?lo Boxeo Tecate? broadcasts by voting them onto the list of contenders for the prized ?Cintur?n Tecate? (Tecate Belt).

On July 8, Jessie Vargas stopped the always-tough Walter Estrada of Colombia via second round knockout in Primm Nev., earning Vargas earned 87% of fan votes as well as a spot in the ?Cintur?n Tecate? competition for the second time this year. The following week, Jayson V?lez earned 56% of votes cast from across the nation for his performance in defeating Carlos Valc?rcel in a 10-round battle on July 15 in Cata?o, Puerto Rico.

?Cintur?n Tecate? 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 vote for their favorite boxer of the night by sending a text message to 55333 or visiting Univision.com, Uniclave: Solo Boxeo Tecate. To thank participating fans, each text submitted gives them the opportunity to win boxing memorabilia, such as T-shirts, autographed pictures and even tickets to future ?S?lo Boxeo Tecate? fights.

As contenders in the competition, the boxers who receive the highest percentage of votes from July through September will have the opportunity to win the ?Cintur?n Tecate? belt and appear on Univision?s premier sports show ?Rep?blica Deportiva.? Current rankings are:

Ranking, Boxer, % of Votes, Date of Fight
1, Jessie Vargas, 87%, July 8
2, Jayson Velez, 56%, July 15

The next chance to vote will be tonight when two featherweights, unbeaten Christopher Martin and Mexico?s Jose Silveira face off in a 10-round fight to showcase their skills in the ?S?lo Boxeo Tecate? ring. To participate, fans 21 and older can send a text message to 55333 with B1 to vote for Christopher Martin or B2 to support Jose Silveira, or visit Univision.com, Uniclave: Solo Boxeo Tecate. The bout will air on TeleFutura at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT (10:30 p.m. CT) from Casino Del Sol in Tucson, Arizona.
