Sweet home, Las Cruces! We arrived in Cruces at 12:00 a.m., again a full day of travel, but this time, no bags were lost. It was much easier coming home after a win and not having to make weight. The only set-back was I got sick with the flu, but the win made me feel better than any medication could have. Read more »

Las Cruces’ Austin Trout rose to 18-0 (13 KOs) with a unanimous decision win over Shawn Garnett (11-6-2, 3 KOs). Scores were 78-72, 78-73 and 78-74. Trout landed the more solid blows while avoiding Garnett’s big right.

In a throwback, same-day weigh-in, this morning, at 8 a.m., Austin Trout and opponent Shawn Garnett weighed in for their fight tonight in Ontario, Canada. Trout weighed in as expected, at 155.8, just under the 156-pound contracted weight. Garnett, however, did not make weight, coming in nearly five pounds over, at 160.8. He was given one hour by the local commission to make weight, but at 9 a.m., he’d only managed to shave off a pound, coming in at 159.6.

Despite the difference in weight, the fight will go on. Garnett was penalized $1,100, which will go into Trout’s purse. “We’re okay with that,” says trainer Louie Burke. “The fight’s still on.” Burke says it’ll be  late card, with Trout not going on until 8 p.m., New Mexico time.
