Boxing warriors tonight on DirecTV


MORE THAN title belts are on the line tonight as boxers from Mexico and Thailand battle for victory, for pride, and most importantly, for country when HBO and Oscar De La Hoya presents a special World Cup Edition of Boxeo De Oro.


"Live" from the Desert Diamond Casino in Tucson Arizona, Golden Boy Promotions will feature four compelling world championship bouts and three additional contests pitting the best of Mexico against the best of Thailand. The country with the most victories will receive the first Gold World Cup, a specially engraved trophy that Golden Boy Promotions has commissioned ICE LINK — one of the leading jewelry manufacturers and designers in the world — to create especially for this historic event. DIRECTV subscribers can see each crushing blow in crystal clear picture and dynamic CD quality sound, on HBO Plus, Video Channel 532. De La Hoya states that the decision to kick off this annual series with Mexico and Thailand was a no-brainer.


"I believe in terms of toughness, style and excitement, Mexican fighters and Thai fighters are mirror images of each other," said De La Hoya.


"Each fight on October 29 should be a war, and my only regret is that I’m not part of these shows as an active participant," he said.
