As boxing’s biggest night approaches, FOX Deportes will get fight fans ready for September 14th’s “THE ONE: Mayweather vs. Canelo” event with an unprecedented run of classic bouts, documentaries, and behind the scenes access that will set the stage for this historic night in Las Vegas.
Today, September 5, the action begins at 2 p.m. ET/PT with a replay of pound-for-pound king Floyd “Money” Mayweather’s classic 2010 battle with Sugar Shane Mosley, followed at 4 p.m. ET / PT by WBC / WBA Super Welterweight Champion Canelo Alvarez’ own battle with Mosley from 2012. Then from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. ET/PT, it’s all Canelo, as FOX Deportes airs the in-depth documentary on the Mexican superstar, “Canelo: Corazon de Campeon,” and Alvarez’ dominant 2012 victory over always tough Josesito Lopez.
