American fight fans can tune in to Saul Alvarez - ESPN

When welterweight prospect Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, already one of Mexico's most popular fighters at age 20, demolished former champ Carlos Baldomir in September on the undercard of the Shane Mosley-Sergio Mora HBO PPV card, it sounded as though most of the 13,591 at Staples Center in Los Angeles were there to cheer for Alvarez, who scored a highlight reel KO in the sixth round.

When Alvarez (34-0-1, 26 KOs) returns to action to face former junior welterweight titlist Lovemore N'Dou, on Dec. 4 in Veracruz, Mexico, fight fans in the U.S. will be able to see this bout, too, after Golden Boy Promotions made a deal with HBO Latino, HBO's Spanish-language network, to broadcast it live (11:30 p.m. ET).

"I think it's a very significant fight for Canelo and another big test for him," Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer said. "It's a dangerous fight. We are very happy that the fight will be televised in the United States so his fans here will be able to see him again."

"I am looking forward to another great fight and will be prepared to use all of my boxing skills to beat the very experienced Lovemore N'Dou," Alvarez said. "I promise to bring home a victory for all the people of Veracruz who recently suffered great losses from a hurricane. I will bring joy and satisfaction to the people that have suffered."

N'Dou (48-11-2, 31 KOs), who has never been stopped in his 17-year career, believes his immense experience will carry the day. "This fight is an example of experience versus youth," he said. "Experience will prevail this time. I've watched a few of his fights and there's no doubt that he's got talent, but I just don't see how he can beat me with all the experience I have."

In the co-feature, Mexico's Daniel Ponce De Leon (40-2, 33 KOs), a featherweight contender who crushed Antonio Escalante in three rounds on the same Sept. 18 undercard as Alvarez-Baldomir, faces Argentina's Sergio Medina (35-3, 20 KOs).

Also Edwin Rodriguez will face Aaron Pryor Jr on the season premiere of Friday Night Fights on Jan. 14.

Sergiy Dzinziruk's next fight will be on HBO. Names mentioned include Cotto, Williams-Martinez winner, Matirosyan, and Cintron.
