By Jake Donovan - Receiving a golden opportunity never means as much as what you actually do with the opportunity once you’re there.
Austin Trout and Delvin Rodriguez spent most of last year and quite a bit of 2012 angling for their respective shots at the big time. When nobody else was willing to step up and face them, they agreed to face each other.
Their 154 lb. title fight is part of a rare quadruple-header on Showtime, which airs live from the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. (Saturday, 9PM ET/PT). Neither fighter represents the best known name on the card, but each are in prime position to change that perception by the end of the evening.
"It's going to be a great night of fights and I feel like me and Delvin are going to be the show stealers," insists Trout (24-0, 14KO) ahead of the third defense of his alphabet title. Given the night’s full lineup, his remarks aren’t at all a stretch.
Headlining the show is a crossroads bout between former light heavyweight king Antonio Tarver and unbeaten cruiserweight prospect Lateef Kayode. The chief supporting bout features rising undefeated middleweight Peter ‘Kid Chocolate’ Quillin as he takes on comebacking 40-year old Winky Wright. [Click Here To Read More]
