Does Dzinzurik still have a belt or did they strip him?

LOL, can't you read? He's a "former WBO light-middleweight champion". He was stripped when his mandatory vs Konecny was cancelled.

The WBO website has Zaurbek Baysangurov as their champion. Apparently he was elevated to full champion. I've also visited other boxing organization websites and they also have him listed as the WBO champ.

Dzinz v Trout is the type of fringe contender match-up that should be taking place throuhout all the divisions and should provide a clearier picture as too which one will make the jump up to title challenger
Dzinz hasn't fought in over a year and tough to say how he'll look and Trout hasn't fought anyone at all both are boxers so should be very Tactical or if noone takes the lead could turn into a staring contest but with the HBO lights they should look to push the action somewhat
Winner gets the winner between Baysangurov/Konency for the belt

Good fight, and a good step up for Trout. Dzinziruk hasn't lost at 154, and beat Julio and Santos there.

Trout is WBA Champion..he's not a contender..

He's more of a Champ than Saul Alvarez..that's for sure.
