Frank Loporto getting a shot at Austin Trout

I don't know frank ??

 

Good luck to LoPorto for taking the opportunity to challenge Trout for the WBA World Title that others let pass.

 

Funny Loporto has not problems negotiationg a deal with Trout :huh

 

Fighting Trout overseas as well, and they are the types of concessions you need to be prepared to make in order to have your challenge accepted for a world title fight.

 

Trout says the LoPorto fight is a goer, but it's yet to be signed:


Trout vs LoPorto in Play, Yuki Nonaka Injures His Hand

from Boxing Scene - 17th October 2011


Australia’s #1 ranked Light Middleweight, Frank LoPorto (15-4-2) will likely face Austin “No Doubt” Trout on November 11th on Showtime’s ShoBox: The New Generation in El Paso, Texas.

Trout was supposed to be facing Japan’s, Yuki Nonaka (21-8-2) but he suffered a broken hand and was forced to withdraw from the fight. Trout is now looking to defend his WBA Light Middleweight title against the current PABA champion.

Trout told Aus-Boxing.com today that the fight is official and its his chance to make a statement. LoPorto's team are waiting to receive the fight contract.

LoPorto last fought Aswin Cabuy in April where he won on towel in round 4.

The winner of the fight is likely to take on the winner of the Anthony Mundine vs Rigoberto Alvarez fight taking place in Newcastle, Australia on October 19th, 2011.

 

Aside from being outclassed, loporto will have only fought 8 rounds in the past year by the time the fight comes around. And 4 of those rounds were against the herculian aswin cabuy - who has had 20 straight losses!

Not a good prep.

 

LoPorto does look out of his depth here. But full credit to him for taking up the challenge :good.

 

ESB repeated my post - seems to be a bit shitty to work with today.

 

Good stuff for Frank. Taken uo the challenge has a big heart.Big step up in class. Win Win whatever the result. :good

 

Spot on. :good

And he has improved, so no matter what the result, good on him.

 

Not so. I wonder what happened to it?

 

It is on Boxrec for the 11th of next month at El Paso Texas.

 

Ishe smith is blowing up that trouts team called him and he accepted this fight. Instead, they went with franky.

Being trouts first fight on US tv, i think they picked loporto so trout can look good.

 

I was referring to Frank's PABA title
