Trout: Lara Was Better Than Me, Canelo Was Not!

•Dec 10, 2014

Austin Trout is eager to get back in the ring. On December 11th he returns against Mexico's Luis Grajeda in what he hopes will be another impressive performance so that 2015 can be as good as his 2012. Grajeda is a hard hitting Mexican who has never been stopped and gone the distance with talented Jermell Charlo. "He's a winning fighter, I think he just fought Willie Nelson and he was the one to say, 'Yes.' We wanted to make this fight happen , I definitely wanted to get back in the ring and he was willing to oblige."

2013 was not the easiest year in the ring for Austin Trout. After losing a unanimous decision to Saúl 'Canelo' Álvarez in April, he was dominated by Cuba's Erislandy Lara in December which included an eleventh round knockdown. After taking some months out of the ring, Trout returned on ESPN with a commanding performance against Australia's tough Daniel Dawson on August 22. Despite suffering two knockdowns in the third round of that bout, Trout looked impressive as he showed more aggression than in prior encounters and almost stopped Dawson in the later rounds.

After three rounds of action last Friday night in California, the smell of an upset was in the air. Daniel Dawson (40-4-1, 26KOs) of Australia had dropped former champion Austin Trout (27-2), twice, and seemed to be on his way to an upset win. But then Trout started fighting back strong, and Dawson badly injured his calf muscle in the fifth round. He initially tore it in the fifth round and from that point forward he was a one-legged fighter. Trout scored his own knockdown in the eight and piled up the points to win a ten round unanimous decision. Dawson has vowed to come back stronger in the next fight.

Austin Trout Overcomes Adversity in Comeback Win

By Cliff Rold & Francisco Salazar - They fight the fights for a reason. 28-year old former WBA 154 lb. titlist Austin Trout (27-2, 14 KO) of Las Cruces, New Mexico, picked up an expected decision over ten rounds against 36-year old Daniel Dawson (40-4-1, 26 KO) Perth, Western Australia, Australia, on Friday night at the Pechanga Casino and Resort in Temecula, California. It was the route to arriving at the expected that made the trip worth it. Trout came off the deck twice in the third, and dropped Dawson in the eighth, in what ended up an entertaining scrap. Both men weighed in at the division limit of 154 lbs. The referee was Jack Reiss. Trout was on the offensive from early on, beginning to overpower Dawson with fast jabs and stiff right hands. With six minutes gone, it looked like the beginnings of a walk for the former titlist. Matters took a serious turn in round three. Finding a home for the right hand, Dawson came down the pipe and Trout was sent to the floor clearly stunned. He rose and continued on, Dawson looking for another right hand. He found it, Trout deposited on the seat of his trunks for the second knockdown of the round.
