Burke’s Blog: Trout weigh-in
Burke’s Blog by Louie Burke
At the scales Austin Trout weighing in at 153.9 and Taronze Washington at 153.7 !
The weigh-ins took place at the up town La Quinta Inn in Dallas. The bouts tomorrow night will be at the Dallas Petroleum Club, which will be an exclusive invitation only event. Seating is limited and has been sold out, my understanding is that the tables are going for $5,000 apiece!
Austin’s fight will be 12 rounds for the WBC Continental of Americas Super Welterweight title. Word is that since Washington has been with the Hatley Brothers gym in Dallas, his improvement has been significant and is somebody we don’t want to underestimate. Washington is on a 4 fight win streak, stopping his last opponent in the first round and recently upset Guadelupe Martinez who was 16-1 at the time.
The fight card only consists of 4 bouts, Austin’s being the main event of the evening.
The contestants in bout #1, will be super welters, Charles Hatley from Dallas vs Brandon Oldham, Lewiston, TN. In a 4 rounder.
Bout #2 will be a 4 round mixed martial arts card of heavyweight’s Zachariah King, Ft Worth against Stephen Adkisson, Mabank, TX.,
Bout #3 will be a 6 round heavyweight battle against Billy Willis, Houston, and Kendrick Releford of Ft. Worth.
Austin’s fight is scheduled after the Willis and Releford fight and is estimated to start about 10:00 pm. The first fight is supposed to start at 8:30 pm.
