On Saturday, Austin “No Doubt” Trout defends his BKFC World Welterweight Title for the first time in the Co-Main Event of BKFC on DAZN: Spain against challenger Rico “Bon Bon” Franco at the historic Marbella Arena, LIVE worldwide on DAZN.
Trout, a former gloved boxing champ under the World Boxing Association banner, is looking to smash his way to 3-0 in his bare knuckle career after most recently dethroning long-time, two-division BKFC World Champion Luis Palomino. Franco boasts a 9-1 record in his bare knuckle fights and is undefeated with a pair of KOs in his first three BKFC bouts.
Ruben "Bad Boy" Warr: Austin Trout is too slick. I’m a big fan; he will win by finish.
Zeb "CWB" Vincent: I’ve got Trout! Go USA!
Gabrielle “Jersey’s Warrior Princess” Roman: I’m going with Trout.
Esteban "Mohawk" Rodriguez: Trout by decision.
Wanya “The Rated R Superstar” Reid: This should be a good scrap. Franco is tough and has knockout power, but I’m going with Trout. He’s more technical than Franco, and the only one to dethrone the longest reigning champ (Luis Palomino), so Trout for the win.
JR "The Lion" Ridge: I know Rico personally, and he will be Trout’s toughest bare knuckle fight. Rico is a warrior. Rico with the upset, split decision win.
Ramiro Figueroa: I predict that Austin Trout will win against Rico Franco. Trout has faced some of the best in the boxing world and possesses all the skills needed to continue being a top contender in his division.
Zach “Shark Attack” Calmus: Austin Trout is an amazing fighter. Coming from a boxing background myself and making the transition to bare knuckle, I would love to see Austin Trout win every time. USA!
