seemed like soft punches...didnt seem like there was much force behind them.
could it have been a fixed fight? yes...thats not out of the question...
very odd knockout in my opinion...
augustus is a great fighter. he gave mickey ward and floyd mayweather absolute hell.
that fight there is a famous thrown fight. because augustus's style of showboating gets him unwarranted losses very often (i.e. courtney burton), he probably needed the money badly and caught a good pay day on that one. I'm not mad atcha Emmanuelle. anyone who can land a "double punch" is cool wit me. he's the fucking man!
I never respect teams that only get up for the big games. Augustus is like that in boxing. He brought his best against Mayweather and loses to complete bums on a regular basis. The guy does not deserve any respect
I catch a lot of heat for not showing any respect for Augustus, but this further solidifies it. The guy MUST be a crackhead to fight as often as he does and apparently he takes dives too. I just don't respect this guy. He has almost as many losses as wins yet people on here act like he's a good fighter.
He actually is a good fighter. Athletic, awkward, pretty good power, and good chin. But you could tell he never took boxing seriously. Its more of a show to him. Not sure how good he could of been if he did take boxing 100 percent seriously, though recently it seems like he's starting to take boxing more serious.
I always enjoyed watching him fight, though that dive he took made me lose a lot of respect for him.

Considering the vicious left to the body he got up from with Micky Ward, I'd say it's doubtful he was unable to continue.
The time was 2:59 not 3:00 even though the bell clearly sounded when he went down.
Knockout? That really didn't seem like a knockout.
A knockdown? Well, he went down. But even the flurry by Vester didn't seem all that damaging, plus Augustus leaned back. It looked like some of those punches even grazed him, it looked as if Augustus was probably pushed back by some of the punches, but even so.....the video only shows 14 seconds...was Augustus counted out?!
That's unbelievable!:bs2:
He was counted out after the bell in the 12th and final round.
