Burke’s blog: Trout update
Burke’s Blog by Louie Burke
We arrived in Dallas last night about 8:00. Once we settled in Austin went for a light jog on the treadmill to shed a couple of pounds. He ended up on weight at 154 last night prior to eating dinner. We were told that weigh-ins will be held at 6 pm today so we have a long weight before our pasta pre-meal.
Austin’s feeling good and is anxious to “get it on.” He knows this another obstacle towards his goal in becoming Las Cruces’ first world champion and has not cut any corners in preparing for Taronze Washington, getting good sparring with Siju Shabazz, Tim Meek, Abie Han and Michael Brooks.
This may be the last fight for Austin this year. It’s been a year of keeping our passports in our back pocket and ready to go to the next venue whether it be in Toronto, Mexico, Panama or Dallas or hometown, Las Cruces.
It’s been a good run thus far and the rewards of the victorys have been two belts and a # 2 ranking with the WBA. Hopefully after tomorrow night, a third belt will be added to the mix, along with a solid WBC ranking.
Austin feels blessed by the activity and the way things have worked out and thanks every one for the support they’ve given.
