Daniel Ponce De Leon and Antonio Escalante will hook up in a featherweight eliminator Sept. 18 (HBO PPV) on the Shane Mosley-Sergio Mora undercard, Golden Boy's Eric Gomez told ESPN.com. Ponce De Leon was slated to face Miguel Roman (who lost to Escalante in a February fight of the year candidate), but Gomez pulled the plug on the fight because he said that although Roman agreed, he hadn't returned his contract. That prompted Gomez to step up efforts to match Ponce De Leon and Escalante, a fight Escalante manager Lester Bedford has wanted. "It's been agreed upon and now we're putting it on paper," Gomez said. "It's icing on the cake for this show." Escalante was also weighing an offer to fight Celestino Caballero on HBO in November on Andre Berto's undercard. http://espn.go.com/sports/boxing/not...ps-land-giants
Great ****in fight, Escalante never makes for a bad fight and Ponce De Leon can crack.
