Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya has stoked the incentive for the eight fighters involved in the Showtime-televised "Knockout Kings" event, which will happen on Sept. 15 at The MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

The boxer who produces "the best knockout of the night" will have an additional $100,000 contributed to his purse, according to De La Hoya.

The main event will match Mexican star and WBC junior middleweight titleholder Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (40-0-1, 29 knockouts) and Josesito Lopez (30-4, 18 KOs).

The undercard of the Mexican Independence Day weekend event includes the hard-punching Argentine Marcos Maidana (31-3, 28 KOs) against Mexican-born welterweight rival Jesus Soto Karass (26-7-3, 17 KOs), as well as WBC featherweight beltholder Jhonny Gonzalez (52-7, 45 KOs), of Mexico City, pursuing his 13th-straight win against former 122-pound titleholder Daniel Ponce de Leon (43-4, 35 KOs), a Mexican-born resident of Huntington Park, Calif.

A fourth bout on the card is being finalized, but is expected to feature an IBF bantamweight title bout between Mexican-born beltholder Leo Santa Cruz (20-0-1, 11 KOs), of Lincoln Heights, Calif., and Puerto Rican-born veteran contender Eric Morel (46-3, 23 KOs), of Madison, Wis., according to De La Hoya.

"Giving all of the fighters an incentive for the best knockout of the night, we will include $100,000 to the winner of the best knockout of the night," said De La Hoya, adding that Showtime will debut an all-access documentary focusing on Alvarez and Lopez on Sept. 5 beginning at 10 p.m.

"Obviously, these four fights have the ingredients to end in a spectacular fashion, and to end by knockout. We're obviously hoping that we are not disappointed and don't get any knockouts. The way that the best knockout of the night will be decided is that fans can vote through AT&T, so the fans will vote the winner. Knockout Kings is the perfect title for these fights."

Im not sure if Chavez Jr is gonna be able to make weight...if he does he better move up after this fight, i think it has taken something away from him in his previous 5 or 6 fights. Id like to see him fight the winner of Andre Ward and Chad Dawson eventually but i think he should take some easier fights at first. Regardless of what happens against Martinez, i'd like to see him fight Pavlik after at 168 or maybe Paul Williams. 2 guys i think he could beat but would give him some good experience, maybe a few fighters from the super 6 tournament as well
