By Thomas Gerbasi - Faith is a big part of Austin Trout’s life. When that’s the case, sometimes you may not understand why something happens in your life or why prayers go unanswered. But if that’s what you believe, you carry on. So when asked about the two consecutive losses that first cost him his world junior middleweight title and then an opportunity to win it back, and how he was able to accept both with class and humility, he knows the source.
“There’s a prayer that I pray, and I don’t even like praying it,” Trout said. “It’s like ‘God, if it’s not your will for me to win, help me accept that.’ For 26 fights it was his will for me to win, and for the last two it wasn’t, and so I wanted to be able to accept my loss the same way I accept my wins. I don’t sit there and complain and make excuses when I win, and I want to go out losing the same way.” [Click Here To Read More]
