I'm a big fan of Austin, I think he's one of the most underrated fighters in the sport, but I think Brook UD's him or possibly stops him late.
If you think Charlo, and the version of Cotto and Canelo that Trout fought are better than current version of Brook.....then you should find a different sport. Nor is this the version of Trout that they fought. Trout would be seen as nothing more than a tune up fight for Brook at this stage.
I think it's the perfect "tune up" for Brook. Trout is class. We have to see how Brook performs at 154
He did give a MUCH bigger Charlo a good, tough fight. Most had the fight scored a draw http://www.badlefthook.com/2016/5/2...jermall-charlo-edges-austin-trout-retains-ibf
I actually scored it 7-5 for Trout, but I think Brook would beat Charlo as well, because the Charlo brothers are both vastly overrated hypejobs.
That's a good fight right there. Trout is very underrated imo, and has really only been outclassed by one guy, Lara. I think Brook probably edges him, but it will be a close fight with plenty of moments for both guys. This fight can possibly happen.
This is the perfect comeback fight at 154 for Brook. Trout doesnt have big power so that left eye should hold up. Trout, the high level gatekeeper of 154
