Mexico has been good to Austin Trout. The slick, left-handed Las Cruces boxer is 3-0 in fights held south of the border, including his February 2011 victory over Rigoberto Alvarez for the WBA junior middleweight world title.
And so, at age 35 and having fought just twice in the past 18 months, Trout (32-5-1,18 knockouts) is heading back to Mexico. He’s scheduled to face Juan Armando Garcia (21-7-2, 12 KOs) in Chihuahua on Feb. 6.
