In the evening's co-main event, bantamweight phenom Leo Santa Cruz will put his unbeaten record and WBC Youth Bantamweight title on the line in a 10 round fight against veteran Alejandro Hernandez.

The winner of seven of his last nine fights and unbeaten in 14 fights in his native Mexico, the hard-hitting southpaw is about to embark on a title run at featherweight which begins in Ensanada with his bout against Omar Estrella. 24-year old Tijuana native Omar "Dinamita" Estrella (15-3-2, 10 KO's) will have local fans in his corner on January 21, and with an opportunity to crash into the world rankings on the table, expect him to deliver the performance of his career. The current Mexican Pacific Coast featherweight champion, Estrella has won eight of his last nine fights and four in a row, but no victory would be bigger than if he can take down Ponce De Leon and take home WBC USNBC belt. A fighter whose name showed up on many "Top Prospect" lists at the end of 2011, Huetamo Michoacan, M?xiconative Leo "Terremoto" Santa Cruz (18-0-1, 10 KO's) now wants to make his move on the bantamweight elite in 2012. He went 4-0 in 2011 and the 23-year-old Santa Cruz delivered statement after statement, using his blistering body attack to finish Stephane Jamoye and Jorge Romero, while adding two more knockout wins over Jose Lopez and Everth Briceno, keeping his WBC Youth title belt untouched. Alejandro "Payasito" Hernandez (24-8-2, 13 KO's) has won three regional titles over the course of his decade long career, yet he is only 25 and approaching his prime as his January fight with Santa Cruz draws close. The winner of two of his last three fights, Hernandez, who challenged for the WBO Flyweight World Title in 2008, is eager to rise to the top at 118 pounds and that quest begins in Ensenada against Santa Cruz. *AT&T products and services are provided or offered by subsidiaries and affiliates of AT&T Inc. under the AT&T brand and not by AT&T Inc. ** Geographic and service restrictions apply to AT&T U-verse services.
