Big win for Escalante, Roman shows toughness

El Paso featherweight Antonio Escalante earned a hard-fought victory last Friday night vs. Juarez fighter Mickey Roman. Escalante was quicker and stronger, but it no fluke that Roman gave him fits.

Escalante knew it would be tough, but he trained hard and got the much needed win to stay atop the world rankings. Meanwhile, Roman showed why he was a hot prospect coming out of Juarez. He certainly had his moments in the fight and earned much respect from ringsiders.

Now, Escalante must move forward and hope he gets a world title shot. He's ranked highly at 122 and 126. What is the best matchup for him? It's going to be up his promoter Oscar De La Hoya. Hopefully, Escalante either gets a title shot this summer or fights a highly-ranked contender on a pay-per-view show.

Meanwhile, Roman probably earned himself another shot against a good fighter and perhaps a rematch with Escalante down the road.

David Rodriguez, Abie Han

Looks like boxing prospects Abie Han (junior middleweight) and David Rodriguez (heavyweight) will fight March 27 in Monterrey, Mexico. Both are unbeaten and from El Paso, but train in Las Cruces with trainer Louie Burke.

Escalante vs. Roman prediction

The border war between featherweights Antonio Escalante and Miguel Roman is Friday night at the Don Haskins Center in El Paso.

Escalante has the bigger name and is hoping for a world title soon, while Roman is hoping to land a big win in his otherwise decent but not glamorous career.

It looks like Roman is training hard for this fight, we'll see how he peforms. Escalante has too much at stake to overlook his opponent, I say Escalante by late round stoppage.

What do you fans out there think?

Jockey Patrick Valenzuela

Horse racing fans could get a treat on Tuesday, Feb. 16 at Sunland Park Racetrack and Casino.
Jockey Pat Valenzuela is slated to ride a couple of races today, including the 7th and 8th races aboard One Tough Hombre and Ocean Joe.
Valenzuela is one of the nation's best. He's won a Kentucky Derby and Preakness as well as several other graded stakes races and Breeders' Cup races.
His father and three uncles were also riders.
First race is 12:25 p.m.

Rachel Alexandra vs. Zenyatta

Horse racing is known as the Sport of Kings. Now it's the sport of Queens, at least for one day. On April 9 at Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Ark., champion females Zenyatta and Rachel Alexandra will meet for the first time in the Apple Blossom Invitational on April 9.

It should be a fun event and it could be very well be an event that puts another layer of energy into a sport, which needs all the respect and new type of events it can get.

Rachel Alexandra won all eight of her races last year and beat the boys in the Preakness. Zenyatta, who is 14-0 in her splendid career, became the first female to win the Breeders' Cup Classic last November.

In every other major sport, the best take on the best for the benefit of the sport. Zenyatta and Rachel Alexandra can captivate the sporting world and it can be an event like a Kentucky Derby and Breeders' Cup, where a large chunk of the country and world is tuning in.

These two fillies are the best of the best, boy or girl, in the sport of horse racing. What both horses have accomplished is a tremendous compliment to their talent, but also to their respective trainers and owners. Every year, I get excited about the Triple Crown series and certainly about the local racing at Sunland Park Racetrack and Casino.

But on April 9, an event featuring two of the best horses of our era takes place and it should be an event the rest of the nation takes notice of as well.

This is like Ali vs. Frazier, Texas vs. Oklahoma, The Cowboys vs. The Steelers. So for you fans out there on the fringe, be aware that you will be watching the best of the best and could be watching a classic at that.

Bernard Hopkins vs. Roy Jones Jr.

17 years after fighting for a middleweight crown, Roy Jones Jr. and Bernard Hopkins will meet on April 3 in a rematch. Both fighters have gone on to Hall of Fame careers, but both fighters are at the end of their careers, especially Jones, who was stopped in the first round of his last bout.

While there seems to be more lucrative fights out there for Hopkins, he's always wanted another chance at Jones.

For you fans out there, what are your thoughts on this fight and who will win?
