PhilBoxing.com


With 69% of Votes from ?S?lo Boxeo Tecate? Viewers, Diaz is in Second Place of Cintur?n Tecate Competition

New York (August 19, 2011) ? California native Antonio ?To?o? Diaz put on an impressive performance in scoring an eighth round stoppage of Mexico?s Ernesto ?Baby Face? Zepeda during the ?S?lo Boxeo Tecate? main event on August 12. Diaz?s car?cter and talent earned him 69% of all votes cast by boxing aficionados via text message and on Univision.com, putting him in second place in the competition for the next ?Cintur?n Tecate? (Tecate Belt).

?Cintur?n Tecate? is an award created to celebrate 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 fighter of the night by sending a text message to 55333 or visiting www.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 a contender in the competition, the boxer who receives the highest percentage of votes from July through September will 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, Antonio Diaz, 69%, August 12,
3, Beibut Shumenov, 58%, July 29
4, Jayson Velez, 56%, July 15
5, Jose Silveira, 52%, July 22

The next voting opportunity will be today Friday, August 19 during the ?S?lo Boxeo Tecate? broadcast from the Paradise Theater in The Bronx, N.Y., at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT (10:30 p.m. CT) on TeleFutura. That night, last quarter?s ?Cintur?n Tecate? winner Michael ?El Artista? Perez (13-0-1, 7 KO?s) will face Miguel Rodriguez (7-3, 3 KO?s) and seek to become the first boxer to earn the ?Cintur?n Tecate? in two consecutive quarters. To vote, fans 21 and older can send a text message to 55333 with B1 to vote for Michael Perez or B2 to support Miguel Rodriguez, or visit Univision.com, Uniclave: Solo Boxeo Tecate.
