Tickets are also available online at www.ticketmaster.com A 23-year-old with a bright future in boxing, Fairfield's Alan Sanchez (12-3-1, 6 KOs) has come a long way in just 16 fights, defeating top level foes like Manuel Leyva and Artemio Reyes.  Even though he lost his most recent bout in September in San Antonio via decision to WBA International Welterweight Champion Luis Collazo, he learned several valuable lessons that he will apply against Silva. Jorge "Pantera" Silva (19-5-2, 15 KOs) of Tijuana is not lacking in experience, as he has been facing anyone and everyone since turning pro in 2008, including Alfredo "El Perro" Angulo and Yoshihiro Kamegai.  At 22-years-old, he hopes to get back on the winning track against Sanchez and will be pulling out all of the stops in search of victory. Coming off of a successful Texas homecoming in February that saw him knock out Peter Oluoch in four rounds, Desoto's Errol Spence Jr. (11-0, 9 KOs) is back in the Lone Star State on April 18 and he's in search of another crowd-pleasing victory.  Then again, that's what the 24-year-old southpaw has been doing consistently since he made his professional debut in November of 2012. The fighting pride of San Antonio, Raul "The Cobra" Martinez (30-3, 18 KOs) has always represented his city well and he is in route to becoming one of the top lightweight fighters in the world.  Still looking for his first shot to a world title, Martinez has won two of his last three bouts and should he be victorious on April 18, his chances are looking stronger than ever.  Brownsville'sSergio Perales (21-1, 15 KOs) is no one's stepping stone and after going 3-1 in his last four bouts, including an 83 second stoppage of former world title challenger Lorenzo Trejo last December, his confidence is sky high heading into his bout with Martinez. A protégé of women's boxing legend Ann Wolfe, Austin junior welterweight Travell "Black Magic" Mazion (7-0, 6 KOs) is already seen as having the tools to become a world champion in the future and he's only 18-years-old.  A blistering puncher with speed for days, Mazion has won his last two fights in San Antonio and he's happy to be back again on April 18. Signed to Golden Boy Promotions and Leija*Battah Promotions, 21-year-old Joseph "The Texas Mongoose" Rodriguez Jr. (5-0, 2 KOs) is coming off of a big 2013 campaign in which he won four consecutive fights without a loss, including three victories in his hometown of San Antonio.  On April 18, he will be back at home to face off with Bay City, Texas' Francisco Arellano. One of Texas' top young boxers, Ryan "Cowboy" Karl won several championships during his amateur days, but now he's ready to test the professional waters.  On April 18, the Houston native will make his debut in his home state in a four-round welterweight bout against an opponent to be named.

10-round welterweight bout, is presented by Golden Boy Promotions and Leija*Battah Promotions and sponsored by Corona and O'Reilly Auto Parts.  Doors open at 6:00 p.m. CTand the first fight starts at 7:00 p.m. CT.  The FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes broadcast airs live at 9:00 p.m. ET/8:00 p.m. CT/6:00 p.m. PT.

Tickets, priced at $100, $65 and $20, plus applicable taxes, fees and service charges, are on sale now and available for purchase by phone by calling Leigh*Battah Promotions at (210) 979-3302.

After returning to the ring in 2012 following a year long layoff, New York native Luis Collazo(33-5, 17 KO's) has looked in prime form in recent wins over Steven Upsher Chambers and Miguel Callist.  Now hoping to get back into the race to regain the welterweight crown he wore from 2005-2006, the 32-year-old southpaw must first get past a hungry Sanchez in the FOX Sports 1 main event on Sept 2.

Rapidly becoming a must-see fighter on the California fight scene, 22-year-old Alan Sanchez(12-2-1, 6 KO's) will fight in Texas for the first time, riding a seven-fight winning streak that includes a first-round technical knockout win over of Artemio Reyes, avenging a loss from their first encounter in 2010, and scoring recent knockouts over Manuel Leyva and Miguel Angel Munguia.  Now he steps up to the big time against Collazo, but the Fairfield, Calif. native is ready for the spotlight.

Seen by most boxing observers as one of the best boxers to not win a title in the current era, San Antonio's Raul Martinez (29-3, 17 KO's) has always given a supreme effort in the ring as he battles the best opposition possible, including Nonito Donaire, who handed Martinez his first professional loss in their April 2009 title fight.  Now looking to get back to the top and fulfill his promise at 31 years old, Martinez plans on giving his hometown fans a show to remember this September.

A native of Sinaloa, Mexico who now fights out of Los Angeles, 29-year-old Daniel Quevedo(13-13-3, 8 KO's) has a deceptive record, because when the bell rings, he is as tough as they come.  A rugged competitor who has been stopped only once in his eight-year career, Quevedo's battles with the likes of former World Champions Leo Santa Cruz and Eric Morel have prepared him for anything Martinez has for him on fight night.

CANELO ALVAREZ UNIFIES SUPER WELTERWEIGHT DIVISION WITH UNANIMOUS DECISION VICTORY OVER AUSTINTROUT

Texas-Sized Crowd of 39,247 at Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas

Replays Sunday, April 21 at 9 a.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME

& Tuesday, April 23 at 11 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS (April 20, 2013) – Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez unified the Super Welterweight Division with a unanimous decision victory over Austin Trout on Saturday in front of a raucous 39,247 crowd at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. 

Alvarez defended his WBC belt while capturing Trout’s WBA title and the vacant Ring Magazine Super Welterweight title with his signature power and incredible elusive defensive skills in a close contest.  Judges at ringside scored the fight 115-112, 116-111 and 118-109.

“Austin was a difficult fighter, but little by little I figured out how to fight him,” Canelo said.  “I was connecting with my right and with my jab.  My jab was perfect.  It was the key.”

Canelo (42-0-1, 30 KOs), of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, knocked down the previously undefeated Trout (26-1, 14 KOs), of Las Cruces, N.M., for the first time in his career just seconds into the seventh round in a fight that was closer than the judges’ scorecards indicated. 

In the electric and decidedly pro-Canelo Alamodome, the 22-year-old avenged a loss his brother Rgoberto Alvarez suffered againstTrout in 2011.

“My brother was a big motivation for this fight.  I did it for him,” Canelo said.  “Trout beat my brother and he’s my blood.” 

When asked after the fight who he would like to fight next, Canelo was confident. 

“Obviously, I want Mayweather next,” Canelo said referring to boxing’s pound-for-pound champ Floyd Mayweather.

The 27-year-old Trout acknowledged that he was surprised by Canelo’s improved defense and his ability to avoid Trout’s consistent jab. 

“Canelo shocked us,” Trout said.  “He boxed a lot better than I thought. He moved a lot better than I thought.  Not that I underestimated him, we just prepared for a totally different fighter.

“He was the better man.  He was quicker.  He was stronger. I have no excuses for tonight.  He was the better man.”

In the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING opener, Omar Figueroa Jr. (21-0-1, 17 KOs) extended his undefeated record with an impressive first-round knockout over previously undefeated Abner Cotto (16-1, 7 KOs).  Figueroa scored a knockdown two minutes into the bout with a vicious body punch.  Cotto got up, but Figueroa kept applying pressure and ended matters with another big left hand to the body with just three second left in the first round (2:57). 

“Those body shots linger for a while,” Figueroa said.  “I knew I was going to catch him again.  I knew it was just a matter of time.

“This is only going to help me get where I really want to be.  We want to get to those world titles and this is only going to help us get there.  We’ll do it again whenever, wherever.  Just give me a time of day.” 

Jermall Charlo (13-0, 9 KOs), of Houston Texas, registered a dominating technical knockout victory over Orlando Lora (29-4-2, 19 KOs), of Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico in a bout featured on SHOWTIME EXTREME.  With Charlo picking apart Lora and cracking open cuts on the veteran, Lora’s corner stopped the bout after the fourth round for the TKO. 

In other SHOWTIME EXTREME bouts, Julian Williams (12-0-1, 7 KOs), of Philadelphia, Pa., scored a technical knockout at 1:43 of the third round over Dashon Johnson (14-11-3, 5 KOs), of Escondido, Calif., and undefeated prospect Terrell Gausha (4-0, 2 KOs), of Cleveland, Ohio, survived a first-round knockdown to register a four-round unanimous (38-37 three times) decision win over Williams Waters (2-4, 2 KOs), of Valley, Ala. 

Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING fights will replay on Sunday, April 21 at 9 a.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME and on Tuesday, April 23 at 11 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME.

Brian Kenny served as host of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING with Mauro Ranallocalling the action, Al Bernstein and Paulie Malignaggi serving as expert analysts with Jim Gray reporting.  The telecast was produced by David Dinkins, Jr., with Bob Dunphydirecting.
