Everyone's favourite showboater, Emanuel Augustus/Burton, is back in action at the Montreal Casino this Saturday against Canadian via Cameroon prospect Herman Ngoudjo.
If you ask me Emanuel's got a real shot at taking this. Ngoudjo's game is full of holes and a guy with his activity level should be able to give him all kinds of trouble. Actually Herman is pretty offensively-minded as well so this could he a hell of a matchup.
Of all the top prospects making their livings in Quebec right now (including Lucian Bute, Joachim Alcine, etc.) Herman has impressed me the least. I say Augustus UD in this one.
i'm so f'ing rooting for augustus. he's one of my faves.
he's trying to get ranked high enough to fight hatton and mayweather. but he really wants hatton for the shit he did in the tszyu fight.
the weigh in went down a little earlier- theyre both at 138 1/2. man i wish i could watch this...
there's also another interview with augustus posted at b-ruce, he's mouthing off again about wanting mayweather and how mayweather didn't beat him etc. etc. haha, i love this guy.
Wasn't aware of this.
Who's playing it?
It's on TVA in the afternoon...4 or 4:30 I think. Probably one of those GYM productions. Not sure who's on the undercard though. I think Pascal's on the card but not sure if they'll show his fight.
If the fight is actually on TV, Augustus should take it. Judges are less likely to screw a guy over if the fight is on TV. Its a lot harder to screw a guy over who wins every round, which I would pick to happen. Augustus actually has representation (Dibella) now. So now he's got a chance to win even a decision.
It's on TV but Canadian TV. Does that count? :)
