It's fitting that the prolific punching Leo Santa Cruz's 2012 campaign was built on volume. In five fights, he stuffed a four round TKO win over Alejandro Hernandez, won the vacant IBF title against Vusi Malinga and squeezed in three title defenses -- two of which were held just 35 days apart -- before vacating at year's end.

On Saturday Santa Cruz begins a more sedate 2013 season by making his 122-pound debut against former two-time 115-pound titlist Alexander Munoz, a 34-year-old veteran who created a splash by scoring 23 straight KOs to start his career, then switched to a volume-punching approach to navigate the sport's top levels.
