"We are thrilled to once again team up with NCM Fathom to show a great
night of boxing on the big screen for boxing and sports fans across the
country," said CEO of Golden Boy Promotions Richard Schaefer. "This is a
special opportunity for Mexicans and Mexican-Americans to be part of
Mexico's Bicentennial celebration by coming to the theaters and watching
the fight together. We look forward to another great night of boxing
action at the movies."
Both Mosley and Mora hail from the Los Angeles area with Mosley
returning home and to the STAPLES Center for the first time since his
spectacular knockout victory over then Welterweight World Champion
Antonio Margarito in January of 2009. Mora, who is well known for his
first place finish on the premiere season of the NBC reality series "The
Contender," is returning to the STAPLES Center after not having
fought there since his 2005 decision victory over Peter Manfredo. On
September 18, Mora is looking to become the first fighter of
Mexican descent to defeat the future Hall of Famer Mosley.
Mosley (46-6, 39 KOs) is undefeated in two bouts at STAPLES Center
against the legendary Oscar De La Hoya and Margarito. He has already
earned six world titles ruling the lightweight, welterweight and junior
middleweight divisions over his storied 16-year career defeating De La
Hoya (twice), Fernando Vargas (twice), Luis Collazo, Ricardo Mayorga and
Margarito along the way. On September 18, his challenge will be turning
back the extremely hungry and talented Mora.
Mora (22-1-1, 6 KOs) is a former Junior Middleweight World Champion
hailing from East LA. He last fought at STAPLES Center in 2005 when he
scored a thrilling split decision victory over Peter Manfredo in a
rematch of his final bout championship win of "The Contender." Going
unbeaten in his next four fights, Mora began to rapidly climb the junior
middleweight ranks, eventually winning the junior middleweight world
title held by the late Vernon Forrest in June of 2008. He now looks to
take down a legend in Mosley and become the first fighter of Mexican
descent to defeat the future Hall of Famer.
"This Mexican Independence Day Bicentennial celebration features one
powerful fight card and boxing fans will get the ultimate front row,
ring-side experience in theaters across the country," said Dan Diamond,
vice president of Fathom. "This promises to be a memorable night of
great boxing and entertainment for the entire family."
200: Celebrate and Dominate Mosley vs. Mora LIVE in
HD will be shown live in 267 select movie theaters including AMC
Entertainment Inc., Cinemark USA Inc., Cobb Theatres, Rave Motion
Pictures and Regal Entertainment Group movie theaters.
The undercard promises to be one of the strongest in recent memory
featuring unbeaten and wildly popular Mexican phenom Saul "Canelo"
Alvarez (33-0-1, 25 KO's) facing his toughest opponent to date in
former World Champion Carlos "Tata" Baldomir (45-12-6, 14 KO's).
Additionally, top junior welterweight contender "Vicious" Victor Ortiz
(27-2-1, 21 KO's) will square off against one of the hardest punchers in
the junior welterweight division, former World Champion "Vicious"
Vivian Harris (29-4-1, 19 KO's).
