Adriana M. Chavez El Paso Times A public intoxication charge against world champion boxer Austin Trout of Las Cruces is still pending despite claims by Trout's trainer that the charge was dropped. Channel 7-KVIA reported Thursday that Trout's trainer said the public intoxication charge stemming from Trout's arrest early Tuesday at a West El Paso Taco Cabana restaurant was dropped. Trout, the world junior middleweight champion, also told the El Paso Times this week officers told him the charge would be dropped. But city spokeswoman Juli Lozano said Friday the case is still pending. "It hasn't been dismissed. Nothing has happened," Lozano said. El Paso police spokesman Detective Mike Baranyay also said Friday that the case "is still technically active." Trout said late Friday afternoon, "I don't have any further comment. I'm not worried because I know I didn't do anything wrong." Baranyay said Trout can request a co...

Bill Knight  El Paso Times El Paso Police Department World junior middleweight champion Austin Trout was arrested on suspicion of public intoxication early Tuesday at a West Side fast-food restaurant -- but Trout said the El Paso police told him they were dropping the charges and said the entire incident was a misunderstanding. "We were sitting at a table at Taco Cabana (7800 N. Mesa), eating our food and a fight broke out at a table next to ours," Trout said Wednesday afternoon, taking a brief break from a training session. "The police officer said I was involved and I told him I don't fight for free. It's funny. They arrested everyone who wasn't involved in the fight. "The police officer said I was intoxicated," Trout said. "I told him I wasn't. He said he could smell it on my breath and I asked to take a breathalyzer and he said he didn't have to give me one. They just held me for the required time, I paid a booking fee (...

Adriana Chavez   El Paso Times El Paso Police Department Las Cruces boxing champ Austin "No Doubt" Trout was arrested early Tuesday on suspicion of public intoxication following an early morning brawl at a West Side fast food restaurant. El Paso County Jail records show Trout, 27, was arrested about 4:30 a.m. Tuesday. He was booked into the jail at 8:50 a.m. the same day, and released about two hours later after posting a $105 bond.

One officer entered the restaurant and noticed chairs, tables, food and drinks "strewn about the floor." Employees at the Taco Cabana pointed out those allegedly involved in the fight, including Trout, the WBA wor...

Phil D. Jay WBN Editor US world champions willing to face each other for 154lb belts IBF light-middleweight champion Cornelius “K9” Bundrage and newly crowned WBA champion Austin “No Doubt” Trout have both expressed their desire to meet each other in an all-American unification fight, following the example of Timothy Bradley and Devon Alexander. Bradley and Alexander faced off for the WBC and WBO 140lb titles last month in a bout that gripped the American public because both men laid their respective titles on the line, with “Desert Storm” Bradley coming out with both belts after ten rounds. Now 25 year-old Trout, who captured the WBA title against Rigoberto Alvarez earlier this month has told WBN that a unifcation with Bundrage would be “amazing” to which “K9” replied “I think it would be good too” as both men seek out an opponent for the summer. Bundrage, 37, hasn’t fought since stunning Cory Spinks almost a year ago to take his title and recently spurned speculation regarding...

Phil D. Jay WBN Editor Bundrage rules out defence against Briton IBF light-middleweight champion Cornelius “K9” Bundrage has told WBN that he isn’t interested in defending his title at the moment and would much rather consider a unification bout with one of the three other 154lb champions in his division. The 37 year-old was linked to a defence against top 10 ranked Ryan Rhodes from Sheffield in the UK, but has denied considering the bout and scoffed at a meeting with the former European champion in the future. “I haven't been in any discussions with anyone from his team, regarding a fight, nor was I offered any money to fight Rhodes oversees or anywhere else,” Bundrage explained to WBN. With the WBC version of the light-middleweight title, formerly held by WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquaio currently vacant, that would still leave three options for the former Contender US semi-finalist, two of which have scheduled bouts in the near future.
