The only time i have watched Loporto was against King Davidson a few years back and he was outclassed every second of the fight. I hope he has improved and makes the most of this chance.
I remember stumbling across that fight at the time, gee King Davidson would be a rank outsider against Trout........... god knows how long Laporto is going to last. Trout is as good a thing as black caviar
This saturday. Fox obviously are doing it knowing if it were on Main Event only LoPorto family members or Barry Michael would order it & plus it exposes some of the Aussie boxing public to Trout for his potential showdown with Mundine if it ever gets made.
Gee I hope to God that Barry Michael is not commentating on this fight because he would make a complete fool of himself.
You would hope FOX would use some brains & pickup the US Showtime feed with the ShoBox crew - Curt Menafee, Steve Farwood & Antonio Tarver. Might learn a thing or 2 also.
Great news we are getting this fight live. Let's hope Frank Loporto can step up to the plate and provide Austin Trout with some spirited opposition.
I think I watcd the same fight. Everybody was ravin about king saying he the next big think then I never saw him again. How is he progressing?
