Rodriguez, Di Pace and Trout

Unbeaten El Paso heavyweight David Rodriguez, who trains in Las Cruces, could fight March 8 in Cancun, Mexico, no a Don King promoted card. Rodrriguez last fought Dec. 21 in Las Cruces, beating Marcus McGee by decision in an eight-round fight.

Las Cruces bantamweight, who won his pro debut on the same Dec. 21 card could fight next month on a Top Rank card in Eagle Pass, Texas.

And unbeaten Las Cruces junior middleweight Austin Trout could fight for a minor title sometime in February or March.

Antonio Escalante and boxing

El Paso junior bantamweight Antonio Escalante will face a big challenge next Friday in Boston when he takes on Mexico City's Jose Angel Beranza in a 10-round fight on Telefutura.

Escalante, who is 16-2 with 10 knockouts has high hopes for 2008. He'd like to fight for a world championship at some point. He had just three fights in 2007 and he said earlier this week that he wants to be more active this year.

The 22-year-old Escalante won two of his three fights last year, losing to Mauricio Pastrana via eighth-round TKO and beating Paulino Villalobos and Feider Viloria. Viloria had a record of 20-1-1 entering that fight.

"I want 2008 to be busy," Escalante said. "I really want to move forward in my career, but first things first and that's my fight next week. The guy I am fighting is tough. He's been in with some good guys. I have to fight patiently and smart."

Escalante was expected to fight 21-0 Mike Oliver, but Oliver pulled out with a bicep injury. So in steps Beranza, who lost a 10-round decision to former world champion Jhonny Gonzalez last time out.

"It's always tough when opponents change," said Louis Aguilar, who trains Escalante. "First we were supposed to fight Oliver in a 12-rounder, then it was 10 rounds and now he's out. But that's boxing sometimes. Antonio is doing well in the gym. He's been sharp."

Escalante said he has been working a lot on defense, including his footwork and head movement.

He has been training in Las Cruces and El Paso and has been sparring with the likes of Las Cruces pros Sammy Di Pace and Ricky Vasquez.

"Sammy gives me a good look in regards to my new opponent," Escalante said. "Sammy throws a good overhand right and he's strong. My opponent will come to me. Ricky is a good boxer, has good movement. I'm just trying to get better in the gym and I'm still learning."

There is no doubt that Escalante has plenty of potential to win a world championship. He's still young and he has room for improvement. Escalante has a chance to showcase himself in a big way next Friday and if he does, the big fights will come.

Escalante hasn't gotten the notoriety he deserves in the area, but that won't be for long. With the way he punches, particularly on the inside, he is a fan favorite. He needs to get better on defense and just pace himself better, but that comes with maturity.

Nathan Enriquez and UNM

It appears that Mayfield defensive back/running back/wide receiver Nathan Enriquez is headed to the University of New Mexico to play football. He'll join teammate and defensive back Freddy Young, who committed a few weeks ago.

The 6-foot Enriquez is arguably one of the state's top athletes. He was standout football player, who helped lead the Trojans to state football titles in 2006 and 2007 and helped the baseball squad to a runner-up showing in 2007.

Enriquez is simply a playmaker and his future at UNM will likely be the same in whichever spot they put him.

Enriquez simply love to play the game and he's got a competitive edge that fuels his desire to be one of the best out there.

And Enriquez knows about winning. The Trojans went 25-1 in two football seasons and Enriquez made big play after big play as a high school football standout.

With Young and Enriquez both going to UNM, that says a lot about the hard work and talent of both players. It also shows that UNM is serious about taking the best from New Mexico and giving them the chance to produce and help make the Lobos a better program.

Head coach Rocky Long has long been a proponent of taking New Mexico's best prep football talent and giving them the chance to help them win.

The Lobos are coming off their first bowl win in over 40 years and the future looks bright. Looks like Enriquez and Young made the right decision with their future.

Calzaghe/Hopkins

Well, the fight many have been clamoring for will happen April 19 in Las Vegas, Nev. Veterans Joe Calzaghe and Bernard Hopkins will meet in a battle of two of the best fighters in the world.

The two fighters have combined to make 40 title defenses n their careers.

The 35-year-old Calzaghe is 44-0 and is the top super middleweight in the world.

The 43-year-old Hopkins is 48-4-1 and is one of the craftiest fighters in the world. Hopkins has established himself in recent years with wins against Felix Trinidad, Antonio Tarver, Winky Wright and Oscar De La Hoya.

Hopkins is a tough fighter on the inside, a smart fighter who never seems to get old in the ring. He likes to test his opponents mentally with taunts and he has already done that with Calzaghe saying he would never lose to a white boy.

Meanwhile, Calzaghe is a hero in the United Kingdom and has genuine respect from boxing people around the world.

Calzaghe is a beautiful technician in the ring and he counts American Jeff Lacy and Germany's Mikkel Kessler among his victims.

This is arguably Calzaghe's biggest fight to date. He is taking on one of the world's best fighters and he is doing so here in the United States, where he can prove to many that he is the best.

For boxing, this is a great matchup and expect 18,000 fans, many of them British to show up.

As for my take on the fight, if Hopkins is still able to mount a consistent, 12-round attack, I believe this will be his night.

Hopkins has proven he can fight at various weights and he'll take advantage of every legal rule in the books in the ring. He's just a tough as nails fighter and for this fight, he'll be very motivated.

Many thought he'd lose to Trindad, Wright and Tarver, but in each of those fights he fought with great skills, innovation and pure toughness.

I expect the fight to be close throughout, but I also expect Hopkins to take enough control of the fight from the mid to late rounds. My prediction is Hopkins by a score of 116-113.

Some basketball stuff on 3-5A hoops

With District 3-5A boys and girls basketball starting on Tuesday night, here are a few thoughts.

On the girls side, the Alamogordo girls team with its 14-3 record appears to be the team to beat.

The Tigers’ only three losses were to Cibola, La Cueva and Eldorado. Head coach Gary Chapman is in his 12th season as the team’s head coach and he likes this team very much because of its depth and experience. Last year, the Tigers won one game in the 5A state tournament and that was huge for a program that has struggled for consistency in recent years.

The Tigers and Las Cruces High face each other in a big district game early on.

Las Cruces High head coach Matt Abney and his team also won a game in last year’s state tournament and were hoping for a big year this season.

While the Bulldawgs are 8-7 and have some nice wins on their side, they were hoping for a better record entering Tuesday’s district opener. But LCHS is coming off a nice win at home against Hobbs and it is getting improved play from guard Amanda Fratzola, a huge plus for the Bulldawgs.

If Las Cruces High can play good defense and slow the Tigers down with a zone defense and make some shots from the field, it has a chance in the opener.

The key for Las Cruces High is reaching the 50-55 point mark. When the Bulldawgs struggle, it’s because of a lack of consistency on offense.

The Mayfield Trojans girls basketball team suffered a huge loss on Friday night when guard Shatwa Morris went down with a potential season-ending right knee injury.

The 13-4 Trojans are already without senior Desiree Marrufo and if they lose Morris, you can probably kiss the district and state titles goodbye. Mayfield will likely still make the 5A playoffs if they can win at least four games in district, but it doesn’t look good for any extended run past that unless Marrufo comes back and can really help the team. Morris was averaging 18.8 points per game for the defending 5A champs and there is really nobody on the roster right now capable of scoring that many on a consistent basis.

On the boys side, Alamogordo definitely had the most talent, particularly with 6-foot-5 post Matt Peeler on board. But Peeler hasn’t played much this year because of a knee injury. If he comes back, watch out.

If he doesn’t, then the district is up for grabs. Mayfield has had some big wins this year, Onate is much improved and Gadsden is 9-9 but has lost several games by close margins and could easily have four or five more wins.

The key on the boys side of things will be who plays the best defense and who executes the best in the final part of the game. Health is also a concern.
Gadsden and Mayfield say they are healthy going in, LCHS has had no major injuries. Onate is fairly healthy, although guard Abe Tarin turned an ankle in Friday’s win against Carlsbad.
