Trout Successfully Defends Title, Again

Austin Trout

Las Cruces native son, Austin “No Doubt” Trout gave veteran Delvin Rodriguez a boxing lesson in Carson, California last night. In doing so Trout won a unanimous decision. After twelve rounds he improved his unblemished record to 25-0 while retaining his WBA Junior Middleweight title. Immediately after the fight Trout called on upstart Saul "Canelo" Alvarez the undefeated redhead from Mexico to agree to a fight that would pit the two unbeaten champions against one another.
When questioned by Showtime interviewers through an interpreter after Trout issued the challenge, Alvarez was cautious while not ruling out the possibility of a showdown. Alvarez was scheduled to fight middleweight Paul Williams in September. Tragcally, Williams was paralyzed from the waist down in a recent motorcycle accident.

Louie Burke

Austin Trout already has scored a victory over an Alvarez. He defeated Saul's older brother Rigoberto, last year.
Trained by fellow native Las Crucen Louie Burke, Trout is a Mayfield High School graduate. The champion chooses to live and train in his native New Mexico between fights. Before turning pro, Trout was an accomplished amateur. With fast hands and exceptional defensive skills he presents major problems for any opponent. Trout is hard to hit and a very effective ring tactician. He is not the sort of opponent that most boxer’s “handlers” want to meet.Whether Alvarez chooses to accept the Trout challenge remains an open question. If he accepts the challenge the fight figures to be the biggest payday of Trout's career.
