WBC featherweight champion Elio Rojas (21-1, 13KOs) will see hostile ground on February 20 when he defends his title against veteran Guty Espadas Jr. (45-7, 28KOs) at the Poliforum Zamna in Yucatán, Mexico. Rojas makes his first defense since winning the title from Takahiro Aoh in July. Espadas has won seven in a row since being knocked out by Rocky Juarez in 2004. The level of opponent was well below the quality of Rojas and Espadas still struggled to win a few of them.
