Canelo Alvarez- Josesito Lopez Press Conference

I made a trip to the Placita Olvera in Downtown LA to watch the Canelo-Lopez press conference. Golden Boy did an awesome job of putting this event together. The conference was "Mexican Themed". There were people passing out mini Mexican flags and luche libre masks. They even had a 30 ft tall Corona Bottle. This was a presser for the upcoming fight on September 15 called "Knockout Kingz". Oscar De La Hoya and Richard Schaefer are master minds at promoting. They came up with an incentive for the fighters. Golden Boy is offering an additional $100,000 for the best KO. They came up with the slogan "at Golden Boy we don't need judges". This may have been a shot at Top Rank for their Pacquiao-Bradley fiasco. To add more excitement Golden boy made the undercards title fights as well. Maidana-Karass and Gonzalez- Ponce De Leon will be worth watching. The fight will be a "Free per View" on Showtime. Overall this was a great day. I got to meet all the fighters and the promoters.
