Former WBA boxing champion Austin Trout has added another belt to his mantle by winning the BKFC welterweight title.
Trout stepped into the ring at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla. against the man who many labeled as the No. 1 pound-for-pound bareknuckle boxer, Luis Palomino. But after five rounds, Trout’s traditional boxing experience shined in a stick-and-move clinic to earn unanimous 49-46 scores to win the title, and give Palomino his first bareknuckle defeat.
