I didn’t know Austin Trout was still fighting and I didn’t know Chino Maidana was promoting. Especially a fight in the US with no Argentina fighter involved. He was long rumored to be making a comeback as a boxer.
Might be his last boxing match for a minute before heading to bareknuckle fighting, but I read that he said he intends to attempt to do both.
yawn. He got lucky against Cotto and that is his high point. Lost all other big fights. Way past prime. You can tune a piano but you can’t tuna fish..
We had no you probably think my son is washed up but he’s going to make all y’all Believers he got a little bit left in his tank he really don’t have to prove nothing to No One be accomplished a lot more than the average Joe Blow frankly I think he he’s underrated just saying stay tuned
Yep, I will stay tuned just to see Austin’s progress.
How many people could say they are or were world champions, or fought the best around!!!
And for the record about my son being lucky against Cotto he was not lucky total couldn’t handle him he had much much good better skills and faster in cold was old I’m just glad he gave my son the opportunity and put his name on the market can’t take that from him he beat him out of nine out of 12 rounds nine rounds to 12 I was there and not a square of God and it was a glorious day for my son and my family that’s all you my son is the most respected boxer in them in the in a WBA and WBC look your status the truth is in the pudding
Your statement was one long sentence! Wow! No periods to be seen. That’s ok, we get your point.
Everyone has their opinions, aspirations, and confidence in something or someone. Good to see you have those positive beliefs in Austin. However, safety comes first in everything in my opinion. Personally, I would be selective on who Austin fights as age catches up with everyone. We as fans tend to call things how we see it and yes, it’s simply an opinion.
Might be the fight that age catches up to him and worth a bet at +330.
