he grabbed the back of his head during the fight looking very worrysome. At one point he was crying punching Emanuel after his head was hurting.

I think that doctor is insane for letting him continue

Augustus showed serious concern too. Did you notice after it, Augustus didn't really throw to the head again? Nobody mentioned that on TV.

True he was hitting the body only. That is being a good person.

yea he was seriously worried about him, I kept wondering if he was going to throw a head shot but it never came. Even with this whole incident aside I really was impressed with Augustus, having seen him only fight floyd before he shwoed those angles very similar to Prince naseem.

I absolutely LOVE Augustus' dancing style. Its so fun to watch. That Trujillo fight was hilarious. As was the Burton fight.

Did anybody really have Olivera winning any rounds? I had it a shutout for Augustus. He was clearly controlling the fight from the opening bell.

I had Olivera winning the 1st round by a close margin. He was just busier and coming foward and Augusta seemed to be feeling him out. After that it was all augusta

Yeah the only round I could've possibly seen for Olivera was the 2nd round. I felt the first one was Augustus'. Meh, still a good fight.

I wish I could get all Augustus' fights on DVD. His fights are much harder to come by, the ones that exist, which I don't even know for sure what they are prior to the Mayweather fight.

I did not like the fact that Olivera drained so much weight too make the fight. In the third round I told my gf that most of the fatal head injuries occur after a fighter has drained too much to make weight and that Olivera is one of those fighters that would allow themselves to die in the ring. I think there should be three weigh ins. A fighter should not be allowed to be so heavy a week before the fight.

I notice augustus stopped throwing head shots too. I hope Olivera is OK. I read a short article that said he was taken to a hospital for some tests and then released.

augustus is very underrated and could give some of the top contenders problems like GATTI or whoever..I'm glad that he didnt go for the head and showed the world he isnt some punkass
