Comments Thread For: Austin Trout Looks To Raise His Status With U.S. Fans

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Having unknown champions in boxing is nothing new and actually fairly common.

Most often, it’s an international fighter who resorts to fighting in his hometown where he has a strong local following. Sheltered away, he somehow manages to get a world title and holds it hostage unwilling to come to the United States to fight those that covet it. [Click Here To Read More]

Im tired of hearing this guys name - he hasn't done SHYT! just like Vanes FART'O'ROSYAN. . . Talking up a storm, but never fight anybody of substance. . . THE LEAST Trout can do is shut the even bigger bum BUMDINE up by beating him. . .

Fight Kirkland... Get respect

He'll need to be overwhelming for Showtime to bring him back...Trout needs real competiton, not this guy Friday night, or Alvarez, or Mundine but that's the best the WBA has, pitiful organization. Better he switches to WBC and get better competirtion , but then he wouldn't be champ, but can you call him that now based on what he's done? I can't...

Come now people, Showtime offered him a date, fights with higher ranked fighters didn't go through, now he has what? His 6th choice to get in the ring with on last notice? It isn't his fault. Besides, he has already said that after Mundine, he will go for Cotto or Kirkland next.

Cotto and Kirkland will lose $ fighting him + James going after the red head and doubt either one, or Alvarez wants to unify...bottom line is Trout needs better competitioin, that's why he's undefeated...Can't keep fighting guys like Rigo Alvarez & this guy Fri nite...

You just pointed out why it is hard for him to get the competition that he wants. The current fight and the next one (against Mundine) are meant to put his face out more, so that he would have more worth in a fight. Look at Saul, he is worth a lot of money in boxing and hasn't fought anyone who is on the elite level.
